# Cale Documentation Index

Canonical site: <https://cale.tools/>

Cale is a C-compatible systems language and compiler project. The public documentation is organized around source build usage, C ABI coexistence, compiler IR lowering, standalone debugging through Lacail, and future GitHub Releases based distribution.

## Topic Map

- C lane: compatibility path for C source and the C ABI.
- Cale lane: long-term language direction above the C-compatible base.
- SIR: source-oriented intermediate representation.
- FIR: flow/value-oriented intermediate representation.
- BCIR: backend-facing intermediate representation.
- Sol: lower-level execution-oriented representation.
- UB facts: records for undefined-behavior evidence and diagnostics.
- Semantic trace: source-to-IR-to-low-level evidence chain.
- Debug artifact contract: file-oriented input contract for Lacail.
- Lacail: standalone debugger that can work with ordinary executable/DWARF inputs and become stronger when Cale artifacts exist.

## Integration Boundaries

Public consumers should prefer files and schemas over Cale internal headers:

- executable
- object file
- DWARF
- source map
- debug bundle JSON
- semantic trace
- runtime report
- UB report
