  • wiki(chapel): printchplenv --simple doesn't emit expected KEY=value Empirical finding from panic-attack#99 run #4 Activate step: the build succeeded, chpl --version reported 2.8.0 cleanly, but printchplenv --simple piped to grep -E '^CHPL_COMM=gasnet$' returned zero output and exit 1. Use a runtime-layout existence check instead — format-independent.

  • wiki(chapel): document 'chpl --about' removal in 2.8.0 Third sharp edge: 'chpl --about' was dropped in 2.8.0. Use $CHPL_HOME/util/printchplenv --simple, which emits KEY=value lines (anchor as ^CHPL_COMM=gasnet$, not ':\s+gasnet').

  • wiki(chapel): document CHPL_LLVM=none sharp edge Second cold-build failure on panic-attack#99 traced to Chapel's make verifying clang/Basic/Version.h before building. Record alongside the MANPATH:-} pattern so future chapel-from-source steps don't relearn this.

  • wiki: Chapel Wave 2 — add Chapel-Metalayer page + Home/Cleanup-Log refs panic-attack#99 lands the chapel-multilocale 7th gate (#87 option A). Document the toolchain choices (gasnet+smp, source-build, cache, manual-counter cache invalidation, cross-locale verification grep) on a dedicated page; cross-link from Home + Cleanup-Log-2026-06-01. Also records the setchplenv.bash MANPATH-unbound-variable fix as a known sharp edge so future chapel-from-source steps can crib the defensive 'export MANPATH=${MANPATH:-}' pattern.
