Module stdlib_io 

Native io module for file system, network, and process operations.

Exports (post-cluster-#2 group 1 file_ops migration):

Migrated (cluster #2 group 1 file_ops + path-mass file_ops)

• File handle: io.open, io.read_to_string, io.read, io.read_bytes, io.write, io.close, io.flush
• File path: io.exists, io.stat, io.is_file, io.is_dir, io.mkdir, io.remove, io.rename, io.read_dir, io.read_gzip, io.write_gzip

Deferred (next session)

• Path utilities (path_ops): io.join (varargs), io.dirname, io.basename, io.extension, io.resolve. Blocked on the varargs-marshal sub-cluster for io.join; the other 4 are mechanical and held with the cluster.
• Async file ops (async_file_ops): io.read_file_async, io.write_file_async, io.append_file_async, io.read_bytes_async, io.exists_async. Path-only, mechanical migrations using register_typed_async_fn_N.
• Network ops (network_ops): tcp_connect/listen/accept/read/write/close, udp_bind/send/recv. Cluster #2 IoHandle consumers — same option γ shape as file_ops; deferred to keep this commit’s scope manageable.
• Process ops (process_ops): spawn, exec, shell, process_*. Blocked on the Array<string>-marshal sub-cluster for args params plus cluster #2 for IoHandle returns.

See docs/defections.md 2026-05-06 cluster #2 entry + marshal-optional-args entry for the architectural decisions underlying the migrated functions.
