+
+## [0.17.1.0] - 2026-11-07
+
+**Initial public release.** Ground-up rewrite of Haskell bindings for WasmEdge 0.17.1.
+
+### Added
+
+- **WasmEdge.Caller** — Safe host function access to guest memory:
+  `getCallerMemory`, `readCallerMemory`, `writeCallerMemory`, `readCallerCString`.
+- **`ToHostFunc` typeclass** — Type-level host function registration.  
+  Register typed Haskell functions (e.g. `Int32 -> Int32 -> IO Int32`) directly,
+  without manual `WasmVal` unpacking.
+- **`builderAddHostFunc`** in `WasmEdge.Module` for ergonomic host module construction.
+- **Declarative `VMConfig` / `withVMConfig`** in `WasmEdge.VM` inspired by the Rust SDK's `VmBuilder`.
+- **Multi-version Stack build matrix**:
+  - `stack.yaml` / `stack-lts-22.yaml` — Stackage LTS 22.44 (GHC 9.6.6)
+  - `stack-lts-23.yaml` — Stackage LTS 23.18 (GHC 9.8.4)
+  - `stack-lts-24.yaml` — Stackage LTS 24.33 (GHC 9.10.1)
+  - `stack-nightly.yaml` — Stackage Nightly (GHC 9.12.x)
+- **Two-layer architecture**:
+  - `WasmEdge.Internal.FFI.*` — Raw C FFI bindings and shims (no business logic).
+  - Public safe modules: `WasmEdge`, `WasmEdge.VM`, `WasmEdge.Configure`,
+    `WasmEdge.Types`, `WasmEdge.Value`, `WasmEdge.Module`, `WasmEdge.Function`,
+    `WasmEdge.Table`, `WasmEdge.Memory`, `WasmEdge.Global`, `WasmEdge.Tag`,
+    `WasmEdge.Plugin`, `WasmEdge.Async`, `WasmEdge.Compiler`,
+    `WasmEdge.Statistics`, `WasmEdge.Store`, `WasmEdge.Executor`, `WasmEdge.Log`,
+    `WasmEdge.Error`, `WasmEdge.Caller`, `WasmEdge.Bindgen`,
+    `WasmEdge.Memory.Codec`, `WasmEdge.Memory.Alloc`.
+- **Phantom-typed ownership model** (`OwnedCtx` vs `BorrowedCtx`) preventing
+  double-free and use-after-free bugs via GHC finalizers.
+- **C shim layer** (`cbits/wasmedge_hs_shims.c`) handling struct-by-value C ABI
+  conversions cleanly across ARM64 (Apple Silicon) and x86_64 (Linux).
+- **Bidirectional host function calling** (`createFunction`, `buildHostModule`,
+  `builderAddFunction`) with automatic finalizer disarming on ownership transfer.
+- **AOT compiler** support via `compileFile` and `compileBytes`
+  (`WasmEdge.Compiler`).
+- **Asynchronous WASM execution** via `asyncRunWasmFile`, `asyncRunWasmBytes`,
+  `asyncExecute` (`WasmEdge.Async`).
+- **Plugin system** — loading and discovery via `loadDefaultPlugins`,
+  `listPlugins`, `findPlugin` (`WasmEdge.Plugin`).
+- **Exception handling / Tag instances** (`TagType`, `TagInstance`) for
+  WasmEdge 0.18+ exception proposals.
+- **Full test suite** — 52 unit and property tests (HSpec + Hedgehog).
+- **Criterion benchmarks** — sub-microsecond pre-loaded execution (~380 ns).
+- **Comprehensive examples** — `Hello`, `HostFunc`, `Plugin`, `AOTCompile`,
+  plus a full stress/API-suite with 20 scenario modules.
+- **GitHub Actions CI** — format, HLint, multi-GHC build matrix, tests,
+  examples build.
+- **GitHub Actions Release pipeline** — Hackage upload (token-based), Haddock
+  to GitHub Pages, GitHub Release creation.

+
+## Overview
+
+`wasmedge-hs` provides a ground-up rework of the Haskell bindings for WasmEdge (supporting 0.17.x and 0.18.x). It is designed following modern Haskell FFI best practices:
+
+- **Two-Layer Architecture**:
+  - `WasmEdge.Internal.FFI.*`: Raw low-level C FFI with shim layer handling struct-by-value C ABI.
+  - Safe, idiomatic Haskell interface with standard types (`Text`, `ByteString`, sum types).
+- **Strong Phantom Ownership**:
+  - `OwnedCtx tag` ensures resources are tracked and finalized via GC finalizers or explicit bracket calls.
+  - Container-owned elements (such as `FunctionInstance` added to a `ModuleInstance`) are automatically disarmed to eliminate double-free bugs.
+- **Full Feature Coverage**:
+  - WebAssembly execution (one-shot and step-by-step pipeline)
+  - Bidirectional host functions (calling Haskell functions from WASM)
+  - Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compilation to native shared objects (`.so` / `.dylib`)
+  - WASI support with arguments, environment variables, and preopened directories
+  - Non-blocking asynchronous execution via `WasmEdge.Async`
+  - Plug-in discovery and loading (e.g. `wasi_nn`, `wasi_logging`)
+  - WasmEdge 0.18+ exception handling and Tag instances
+
+---
+
+## Installation & Prerequisites
+
+### 1. Install the WasmEdge C runtime
+
+**macOS (Homebrew)**
+```bash
+brew install wasmedge
+```
+
+**Linux**
+```bash
+curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WasmEdge/WasmEdge/master/utils/install.sh \
+  | sudo bash -s -- -v 0.17.1 -p /usr/local
+```
+
+### 2. Add `wasmedge-hs` to your project
+
+**Cabal** (`cabal.project` / `.cabal`):
+```cabal
+-- your-package.cabal
+build-depends: wasmedge-hs >= 0.17.1 && < 0.18

+stack --stack-yaml stack-lts-24.yaml test  # GHC 9.10.1
+stack --stack-yaml stack-nightly.yaml test # GHC 9.12.x
+```
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Execute a WebAssembly Function
+
+```haskell
+{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
+import qualified Data.ByteString as BS
+import WasmEdge.VM
+import WasmEdge.Types
+
+-- Minimal WebAssembly module implementing: add(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32
+addWasm :: BS.ByteString
+addWasm = BS.pack
+  [ 0x00, 0x61, 0x73, 0x6D, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00  -- magic + version
+  , 0x01, 0x07, 0x01, 0x60, 0x02, 0x7F, 0x7F, 0x01, 0x7F  -- type: (i32, i32) -> i32
+  , 0x03, 0x02, 0x01, 0x00                              -- function section
+  , 0x07, 0x07, 0x01, 0x03, 0x61, 0x64, 0x64, 0x00, 0x00  -- export "add"
+  , 0x0A, 0x09, 0x01, 0x07, 0x00, 0x20, 0x00, 0x20, 0x01, 0x6A, 0x0B  -- body
+  ]
+
+main :: IO ()
+main = do
+  result <- withVM Nothing Nothing $ \vm ->
+    runWasmBytes vm addWasm "add" [WasmI32 40, WasmI32 2]
+  case result of
+    Right [WasmI32 ans] -> putStrLn $ "Result: 40 + 2 = " ++ show ans -- 42
+    Left err            -> putStrLn $ "Error: " ++ show err
+```
+
+### 2. Export Haskell Functions to WebAssembly
+
+```haskell
+{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
+import WasmEdge.VM
+import WasmEdge.Types
+import WasmEdge.Function
+import WasmEdge.Module
+
+haskellAddOne :: CallingFrame -> [WasmVal] -> IO (WasmResult [WasmVal])
+haskellAddOne _ [WasmI32 n] = pure $ Right [WasmI32 (n + 1)]
+haskellAddOne _ args        = pure $ Right args
+
+main :: IO ()
+main = do
+  withFunctionType [I32] [I32] $ \fnType ->
+    withFunction fnType haskellAddOne $ \hostFn -> do
+      hostMod <- buildHostModule "host_module" $ \b ->
+        builderAddFunction b "add_one" hostFn
+
+      withVM Nothing Nothing $ \vm -> do
+        Right () <- registerModuleFromImport vm hostMod
+        res <- runWasmBytes vm guestWasm "call_host" [WasmI32 99]
+        print res -- Right [WasmI32 100]
+```
+
+For typed host functions (no manual `WasmVal` unpacking), use `builderAddHostFunc`:
+
+```haskell
+buildHostModule "host_module" $ \b -> do
+  builderAddHostFunc b "add" $ \(x :: Int32) (y :: Int32) -> pure (x + y) :: IO Int32
+```
+
+See `cabal run wasmedge-hs-example-hostfunc` for the complete, runnable example.
+
+
+### 3. Ahead-Of-Time (AOT) Compilation
+
+```haskell
+import WasmEdge.Compiler
+import WasmEdge.Configure
+import WasmEdge.Types (OptimizationLevel (..))
+
+compileToNative :: IO ()
+compileToNative = do
+  withConfigure $ \cfg -> do
+    setCompilerOptions cfg (defaultCompilerOptions { compOptLevel = OptO3 })
+    withCompiler (Just cfg) $ \compiler -> do
+      res <- compileFile compiler "input.wasm" "output.so"
+      case res of
+        Right () -> putStrLn "Compiled successfully to output.so"
+        Left err -> putStrLn $ "Compilation failed: " ++ show err
+```
+
+---
+

+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+## Why Two Layers?
+
+### Layer 1: Raw FFI (`WasmEdge.Internal.FFI.*`)
+
+These modules contain only `foreign import` declarations with `Ptr` types.
+They are intentionally thin — no business logic, no error handling.
+This makes them easy to audit when the WasmEdge C API changes.
+
+**Key rule**: Every function in `WasmEdge.Internal.FFI.*` must have a
+1-to-1 correspondence with a C function signature in the shim header.
+
+### Layer 2: Public API (`WasmEdge.*`)
+
+These modules provide idiomatic Haskell APIs. They:
+- Convert between Haskell types (Text, ByteString, WasmVal) and C types
+- Manage resource lifetimes via `OwnedCtx` and `ForeignPtr`
+- Convert `WasmEdge_Result` to `WasmEdgeError` exceptions
+- Provide `bracket`-style resource management
+
+## Ownership Model
+
+All WasmEdge contexts fall into two categories:
+
+### Owned contexts (`OwnedCtx tag`)
+- Wrapped in `ForeignPtr` with a C delete function as finalizer
+- Created by `WasmEdge_*Create` functions
+- Example: `Configure`, `VM`, `Store`, `ModuleInstance` (when created from AST)
+
+### Borrowed contexts (`BorrowedCtx tag`)
+- Raw `Ptr tag` — no finalizer, no ownership
+- Obtained via query functions (e.g., `VMGetStoreContext`, `CallingFrameGetModuleInstance`)
+- **Lifetime is guaranteed by the parent context**
+- The caller MUST NOT call `delete*` on a borrowed context
+
+### 0.18 Finalized Module Instances
+
+In WasmEdge 0.18+, `WasmEdge_ExecutorInstantiate` returns a
+**finalized** module instance that is owned by the **Store**, not the caller.
+We model this as:
+
+```haskell
+-- After instantiation, ModuleInstance is borrowed from the Store
+instantiateModule :: Executor -> Store -> ASTModule -> IO BorrowedModuleInstance
+```
+
+The caller must not delete a finalized module instance. Deleting the Store
+deletes all finalized modules within it.
+
+## C Shim Layer
+
+### Why shims?
+
+GHC's FFI can only call C functions that:
+1. Return void, or
+2. Return a scalar type (int, pointer, double, etc.)
+
+WasmEdge's C API returns many structs by value: `WasmEdge_String`,
+`WasmEdge_Value`, `WasmEdge_Result`, `WasmEdge_ValType`.
+
+GHC **cannot** marshal struct-by-value return values. Our shims convert
+each such function into a void function with an extra `out*` parameter.
+
+### Naming convention
+
+```
+WasmEdge_StringCreateByCString(...)  →  C function (struct by value)
+hs_WasmEdge_StringCreateByCString(out, ...)  →  shim (out-param)
+c_StringCreateByCString  →  Haskell FFI import of the shim
+```
+
+### No `c2hs`, no `inline-c`, no `cpphs`
+
+All C interop goes through:
+1. The shim `.c` file (compiled by GHC directly via `c-sources:`)
+2. `foreign import ccall` declarations in `.hs` files
+3. `hsc2hs` for struct layout constants (`#size`, `#offset`, `#alignment`)
+
+This means the build has **zero external codegen dependencies**. Only
+`hsc2hs` (bundled with GHC) is needed.
+

+  Internal.FFI.Experimental       ← experimental hooks
+```
+
+## Thread Safety
+
+WasmEdge's "thread-safe" functions (those that can block, e.g., execution)
+are imported with `safe` FFI. This allows the GHC RTS to run other Haskell
+threads while the C function blocks.
+
+"Unsafe" functions (those that return immediately, e.g., create/delete/query)
+use `unsafe` FFI for performance.
+
+**Rule**: Any FFI import that could block the OS thread uses `safe`.
+Any FFI import that is guaranteed to return immediately uses `unsafe`.

+We follow the [Haskell PVP](https://pvp.haskell.org/):
+
+- **Patch releases** (`W`): bug fixes, documentation. No API changes.
+- **Minor releases** (`Z`): new functions added to public API. Backwards compatible.
+- **Major/minor-major releases** (`X.Y`): may contain breaking changes.
+  Always corresponds to a WasmEdge major/minor version bump.
+
+## What is a Breaking Change?
+
+Any change that requires user code to be updated:
+
+- Removing a function from a public module
+- Changing a function's type signature
+- Removing a constructor from a public type
+- Changing the meaning of a function's result
+- Removing a module from `exposed-modules`
+
+## Deprecation Workflow
+
+Before removing a function, deprecate it for at least **one minor release**:
+
+```haskell
+-- In the public module:
+{-# DEPRECATED oldFunction "Use newFunction instead; will be removed in 0.20" #-}
+oldFunction :: ...
+oldFunction = newFunction
+```
+
+For functions deprecated by WasmEdge upstream, add:
+```haskell
+{-# DEPRECATED wasmedgeProcess "WasmEdge removed wasmedge_process in 0.18" #-}
+```
+
+## WasmEdge Version Compatibility
+
+Each `wasmedge-hs` release targets a **single WasmEdge minor version**.
+Multiple WasmEdge versions are not supported simultaneously in the same
+`wasmedge-hs` version.
+
+The ABI compatibility test in `Test.Unit.VersionSpec` will fail at
+runtime if the linked WasmEdge library is out of the expected version range.
+
+### The `WasmEdge.Deprecated` Module Strategy
+
+When WasmEdge removes or renames a function between 0.17 and 0.18:
+
+1. We create a `WasmEdge.Deprecated` module that re-exports the old names
+   as deprecated wrappers:
+   ```haskell
+   -- WasmEdge.Deprecated
+   {-# DEPRECATED runModule "Use WasmEdge.VM.runWasmFile instead" #-}
+   runModule :: VM -> FilePath -> [WasmVal] -> IO (WasmResult [WasmVal])
+   runModule = WasmEdge.VM.runWasmFile
+   ```
+
+2. The deprecated module is kept for one release cycle, then removed.
+
+## Library Version Bounds
+
+For downstream packages that depend on `wasmedge-hs`:
+
+```cabal
+build-depends: wasmedge-hs >= 0.18 && < 0.19
+```
+
+This correctly pins to the WasmEdge 0.18.x series.
+
+If you want to support multiple WasmEdge series, use cabal flags:
+
+```cabal
+flag wasmedge-018
+  description: Build against wasmedge-hs 0.18.x
+  default: True
+
+if flag(wasmedge-018)
+  build-depends: wasmedge-hs >= 0.18 && < 0.19
+else
+  build-depends: wasmedge-hs >= 0.17 && < 0.18
+```

+# Contributing to wasmedge-hs
+
+Thank you for your interest in contributing! This guide explains how to get
+set up, our coding standards, and the process for submitting pull requests.
+
+---
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+1. **GHC 9.6+** and either **Stack 3.0+** or **Cabal 3.10+**:
+   ```bash
+   ghcup install ghc 9.10.1
+   ghcup install cabal 3.12.1.0
+   # or for Stack:
+   ghcup install stack
+   ```
+
+2. **WasmEdge 0.17.1**:
+
+   On macOS (Homebrew):
+   ```bash
+   brew install wasmedge
+   ```
+
+   On Linux:
+   ```bash
+   curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WasmEdge/WasmEdge/master/utils/install.sh \
+     | sudo bash -s -- -v 0.17.1 -p /usr/local
+   sudo ldconfig
+   ```
+
+---
+
+### Building with Cabal
+
+```bash
+cd wasmedge-hs
+cabal update
+cabal build
+cabal test
+cabal check           # must pass before any release
+cabal haddock         # build local docs
+```
+
+### Building with Stack
+
+```bash
+cd wasmedge-hs
+stack build
+stack test
+
+# Multi-GHC builds:
+stack --stack-yaml stack-lts-22.yaml build  # GHC 9.6.6
+stack --stack-yaml stack-lts-23.yaml build  # GHC 9.8.4
+stack --stack-yaml stack-lts-24.yaml build  # GHC 9.10.1
+stack --stack-yaml stack-nightly.yaml build # GHC 9.12.x
+```
+
+### Running benchmarks
+
+```bash
+cabal run wasmedge-hs-bench --enable-benchmarks
+# or:
+stack bench
+```
+
+---
+
+## Branching Strategy
+
+We use a simplified Git-flow:
+
+| Branch | Purpose |
+|:---|:---|
+| `main` | Stable. Only release commits land here. Protected branch. |
+| `develop` | Integration branch. All feature PRs target `develop`. |
+| `feat/<name>` | New feature — branch from and PR into `develop`. |
+| `fix/<name>` | Bug fix — branch from and PR into `develop`. |
+| `chore/<name>` | CI, docs, infrastructure — branch from and PR into `develop`. |
+
+**Release flow:**
+1. All work merges into `develop` via PR review.
+2. When ready to release: open a PR `develop → main`.
+3. Merge `develop → main`.
+4. Create and push an annotated tag: `git tag -a v0.17.1.0 -m "Release 0.17.1.0" && git push origin v0.17.1.0`.
+5. The `release.yml` workflow fires automatically, runs tests, publishes to Hackage, and deploys Haddock to GitHub Pages.

+

+
+## Coding Standards
+
+### Public API modules
+
+- Every exported function **must** have a Haddock comment (`-- |`).
+- Resource-creating functions must have a `with*` bracket variant.
+- Fallible functions return `IO (WasmResult a)` or throw `WasmEdgeError`.
+- No `unsafePerformIO` except in documented global singletons.
+- Export lists must be **explicit** — no wildcard `(..)` exports on public modules.
+
+### FFI modules (`WasmEdge.Internal.FFI.*`)
+
+- Only `foreign import` declarations — no business logic.
+- Use `unsafe` for non-blocking functions, `safe` for blocking ones.
+- One comment per declaration explaining what C function it wraps.
+- Names mirror the C shim: `c_StringCreateByCString` wraps
+  `hs_WasmEdge_StringCreateByCString`.
+
+### C shims (`cbits/`)
+
+- Every shim function is a one-liner that does exactly one thing.
+- No C-side error handling — let WasmEdge report errors via `WasmEdge_Result`.
+- `#include "wasmedge_hs_shims.h"` at the top of every `.c` file.
+
+### Ownership rules
+
+- **Never** call a `delete` function on a borrowed pointer.
+- **Always** use `bracket` or `with*` for owned resources in user-facing code.
+- **Never** use `unsafeOwnedPtr` in public modules.
+
+### Code style
+
+- Formatting: **fourmolu** (config in `fourmolu.yaml` / defaults).
+- Linting: **HLint** with config in `.hlint.yaml`.
+- Run before committing:
+  ```bash
+  fourmolu -i src/ test/ examples/
+  hlint src/ test/ examples/
+  ```
+
+---
+
+## Running the ABI Compatibility Test
+
+The test suite includes a version check that verifies the linked WasmEdge
+version matches the expected bounds:
+
+```bash
+# Cabal:
+cabal test wasmedge-hs-test --test-option=--match="/Version/"
+# Stack:
+stack test --test-arguments="--match=/Version/"
+```
+
+If this fails, you may have an incompatible WasmEdge version installed.
+
+---
+
+## Submitting a Pull Request
+
+1. Fork the repo and create a feature branch from `develop`:
+   ```bash
+   git checkout develop
+   git pull
+   git checkout -b feat/my-feature
+   ```
+2. Write tests for any new functionality.
+3. Ensure all checks pass:
+   ```bash
+   fourmolu -m check src/ test/
+   hlint src/ test/
+   cabal build && cabal test
+   cabal check
+   ```
+4. Update `CHANGELOG.md` under `[Unreleased]`.
+5. Submit the PR **targeting `develop`** with a clear description of what
+   changed and why.
+
+---
+
+## Release Process (Maintainer Only)
+
+See [docs/MAINTAINING.md](MAINTAINING.md) for the full release workflow.
+
+Quick summary:
+```bash
+# 1. Merge develop → main via PR
+# 2. On main:
+git tag -a v0.17.1.0 -m "Release wasmedge-hs 0.17.1.0"
+git push origin v0.17.1.0
+# 3. The release.yml workflow automatically:
+#    - Runs format/lint/test
+#    - cabal sdist + haddock
+#    - Uploads to Hackage
+#    - Creates GitHub Release
+#    - Deploys Haddock to GitHub Pages
+```

+# Maintaining wasmedge-hs
+
+This document explains how to keep `wasmedge-hs` in sync with upstream
+WasmEdge releases and how to maintain long-term project health.
+
+---
+
+## Tracking Upstream WasmEdge Changes
+
+### Workflow for each WasmEdge release
+
+1. **Monitor the upstream release**
+
+   Watch the [WasmEdge releases](https://github.com/WasmEdge/WasmEdge/releases)
+   page. Subscribe to GitHub release notifications.
+
+2. **Diff the public C header**
+
+   The authoritative source of API changes is:
+   ```
+   include/api/wasmedge/wasmedge.h
+   ```
+
+   Run this to see what changed between two versions:
+   ```bash
+   git -C /path/to/WasmEdge diff 0.17.5..0.18.0 -- include/api/wasmedge/wasmedge.h
+   ```
+
+   Look for:
+   - **New functions**: need new `foreign import` + shim
+   - **Removed functions**: remove the FFI import; add a deprecation note
+   - **Changed signatures**: update the shim and the FFI import
+   - **New struct fields**: update `hsc2hs` `#size`/`#offset` macros
+   - **New enum values**: update the Haskell enum and the `*ToC` conversion
+
+3. **Check `wasmedge_deprecated.h`**
+
+   WasmEdge marks deprecated functions in `include/api/wasmedge/wasmedge_deprecated.h`.
+   Any function appearing there is on the removal track. Add a Haskell
+   deprecation warning:
+   ```haskell
+   {-# DEPRECATED myFunction "WasmEdge deprecated this in 0.18; use newFunction instead" #-}
+   ```
+
+4. **Read the Changelog**
+
+   `Changelog.md` in the WasmEdge repo describes breaking changes in plain
+   English. Read the sections:
+   - "Breaking changes"
+   - "New features"
+   - "Removed APIs"
+
+5. **Update the ABI compatibility test**
+
+   `test/Test/Unit/VersionSpec.hs` checks that the linked WasmEdge version
+   matches the expected bounds. Update `shouldSatisfy (>= 18)` when
+   targeting a new minor version.
+
+6. **Update the `wasmedge-hs.cabal` version**
+
+   The package version tracks WasmEdge: `MAJOR.MINOR.0.PATCH` where
+   `MAJOR.MINOR` is the WasmEdge version. See [BACKWARDS_COMPAT.md](BACKWARDS_COMPAT.md).
+
+---
+
+## Adding a New WasmEdge Function
+
+### Step 1: Add the C shim (if needed)
+
+If the new function returns a struct by value, add:
+1. A declaration in `cbits/wasmedge_hs_shims.h`
+2. An implementation in `cbits/wasmedge_hs_shims.c`
+
+If it returns `void` or a scalar (int, pointer), no shim is needed.
+
+### Step 2: Add the Haskell FFI import
+
+In the appropriate `WasmEdge.Internal.FFI.*` module:
+
+```haskell
+-- Returns struct by value → use shim
+foreign import ccall unsafe "hs_WasmEdge_NewFunction"
+  c_NewFunction :: Ptr CResult_ -> Ptr SomeTag -> IO ()
+
+-- Returns void or scalar → import directly
+foreign import ccall unsafe "WasmEdge_NewFunction"
+  c_NewFunction :: Ptr SomeTag -> CString -> IO Word32
+```
+
+### Step 3: Add the public API wrapper
+
+In the corresponding `WasmEdge.*` module, add a public function with:
+- Idiomatic Haskell types
+- `WasmResult` for fallible operations
+- Haddock documentation
+- A `bracket`-style variant if it creates a resource
+
+### Step 4: Add a unit test
+
+Even a minimal smoke test catches regressions.
+
+---
+
+## Versioning the Shims for ABI Breaks
+
+If WasmEdge makes an ABI-breaking change (e.g., struct layout changes,
+enum reordering), we need to support both old and new:
+
+```c
+// cbits/wasmedge_hs_shims.c
+#include "wasmedge/wasmedge.h"
+
+#if WASMEDGE_VERSION_MAJOR == 0 && WASMEDGE_VERSION_MINOR >= 18
+// New 0.18 API
+void hs_WasmEdge_NewThing(...) { ... }
+#else
+// Old 0.17 fallback
+void hs_WasmEdge_NewThing(...) { ... }
+#endif
+```
+
+On the Haskell side, use `cabal` flags:
+```cabal
+flag wasmedge-0-18
+  description: Build against WasmEdge >= 0.18
+  default: True
+  manual: True
+```
+
+---
+
+## CI Matrix
+
+The CI runs on:
+- GHC 9.6, 9.8, 9.10
+- Linux x86_64, macOS arm64
+- WasmEdge: current stable + previous stable
+
+See `.github/workflows/ci.yml` for the full matrix.
+
+To add a new GHC version to CI, add it to the `ghc-version` matrix in the
+workflow file and to the `tested-with:` field in the cabal file.
+
+---
+
+## Updating Hackage
+
+1. Bump the version in `wasmedge-hs.cabal`
+2. Update `CHANGELOG.md`
+3. Run `cabal check` — fix any warnings
+4. Run `cabal sdist` to create the source distribution
+5. Test the sdist: `cabal install --lib wasmedge-hs-X.Y.Z.tar.gz`
+6. Upload to Hackage: `cabal upload dist-newstyle/sdist/*.tar.gz`
+
+---
+
+## Long-Term Health Checklist
+
+- [ ] `cabal outdated` run quarterly; update bounds if tests pass
+- [ ] WasmEdge releases subscribed on GitHub
+- [ ] CI always green before merging PRs
+- [ ] Breaking changes trigger a major/minor version bump per PVP
+- [ ] `wasmedge_deprecated.h` checked each WasmEdge release
+- [ ] `Changelog.md` updated for every release

+Module      : Stress.ConcurrentPool
+Description : High-concurrency VM worker pool and throughput stress testing
+Copyright   : (c) 2026 Tushar Adhatrao
+License     : MIT
+Stability   : experimental
+
+Tests high-concurrency execution across multiple GHC capabilities and OS threads.
+Implements a production-grade 'VMPool' with bounded queuing ('TBQueue'), and compares
+reusable pooled VMs against ephemeral (per-request) VMs under heavy load (1,000+ requests).
+Computes throughput (ops/sec) and p50/p95/p99 latency distributions.

+Module      : WasmEdge.Bindgen
+Description : High-level guest function invocation and host function data marshalling
+Copyright   : (c) 2026 Tushar Adhatrao
+License     : MIT
+Stability   : experimental
+
+Inspired by @wasmedge-bindgen@ in the Go and Rust SDKs, this module provides
+high-level, type-safe abstractions for invoking WebAssembly guest functions
+that accept and return complex data (JSON, UTF-8 strings, and raw ByteStrings)
+without requiring manual pointer arithmetic or allocation management.
+
+== Calling Guest Functions
+
+@
+import WasmEdge
+import WasmEdge.Bindgen
+import Data.Aeson (FromJSON, ToJSON)
+
+data MyRequest = MyRequest { query :: Text } deriving (Generic, ToJSON)
+data MyResponse = MyResponse { hits :: [Text] } deriving (Generic, FromJSON)
+
+-- Single-line guest invocation:
+response <- callGuestJson vm "search_module" "execute_search" (MyRequest "example")
+case response of
+  Left err  -> putStrLn $ "Error: " ++ show err
+  Right res -> print (hits res)
+@
+
+== Reading and Writing from Host Functions
+
+When a host function is invoked by the guest, it receives a 'CallingFrame'.
+This module provides helpers to read and write strings and JSON directly:
+
+@
+myHostLog :: CallingFrame -> [WasmVal] -> IO (WasmResult [WasmVal])
+myHostLog frame [WasmI32 ptr, WasmI32 len] = do
+  res <- callerReadText frame (fromIntegral ptr) (fromIntegral len)
+  case res of
+    Left err  -> pure (Left err)
+    Right msg -> do
+      putStrLn $ "Guest log: " ++ show msg
+      pure (Right [])

+Module      : WasmEdge.Caller
+Description : Caller context and guest memory access for host functions
+Copyright   : (c) 2026 Tushar Adhatrao
+License     : MIT
+Stability   : stable
+
+Inspired by the @Caller@ abstraction in @wasmedge-sdk@ (Rust), this module
+provides safe, idiomatic Haskell helpers for host functions to inspect and
+manipulate the linear memory of the calling WebAssembly guest instance.
+
+When a WebAssembly module invokes an imported host function, WasmEdge supplies
+a 'CallingFrame'. Using 'getCallerMemory', 'readCallerMemory', or 'writeCallerMemory',
+host functions can easily exchange structured data, buffers, and strings with the guest.
+
+== Example
+
+@
+import WasmEdge.Caller
+import qualified Data.ByteString as BS
+
+-- Host function reading a string from guest memory and logging it
+logMessageHostFunc :: CallingFrame -> [WasmVal] -> IO (WasmResult [WasmVal])
+logMessageHostFunc frame [WasmI32 ptr, WasmI32 len] = do
+  mStr <- readCallerMemory frame 0 (fromIntegral ptr) (fromIntegral len)
+  case mStr of
+    Nothing -> pure (Left (WasmEdgeError ErrCategory_UserDefined 1 "Invalid memory access"))
+    Just bs -> do
+      putStrLn $ "Guest message: " ++ show bs
+      pure (Right [])
+logMessageHostFunc _ _ = pure (Left (WasmEdgeError ErrCategory_UserDefined 2 "Invalid arguments"))

+Module      : WasmEdge.Function.Memory
+Description : Memory-aware host function lifting
+Copyright   : (c) 2026 Tushar Adhatrao
+License     : MIT
+Stability   : experimental
+
+Provides utilities for writing host functions that work with complex Haskell
+types by automatically marshalling them through Wasm linear memory.
+
+== The problem
+
+WebAssembly functions can only pass numeric values (@i32@, @i64@, @f32@, @f64@)
+across the FFI boundary. To call a host function with a @Text@ argument or
+return a @[Double]@, the convention is:
+
+  * The guest writes the data into its linear memory.
+  * The guest passes the @(ptr: i32, len: i32)@ pair as function arguments.
+  * The host reads the bytes from the calling frame's memory and deserialises.
+
+'liftMemFunc' automates this entire read-deserialise-compute-serialise-write
+pipeline for host functions.
+
+== Usage
+
+@
+-- A host function that takes Text input and returns Text output:
+myGreeter :: Text -> IO (Either WasmEdgeError Text)
+myGreeter name = pure (Right (\"Hello, \" \<\> name \<\> \"!\"))
+
+-- Register it as a host function with signature (i32, i32) -> i64:
+fn \<- liftMemFunc myGreeter
+withFunction someType fn $ \\hostFn -> ...
+@
+
+The Wasm guest calls it as:
+@
+let ptr = alloc(len);
+store_str(ptr, input_str);
+let result_packed = greet(ptr, len);
+let ret_ptr = (result_packed >> 32) as i32;
+let ret_len = (result_packed & 0xFFFFFFFF) as i32;
+@
+
+== Result encoding
+
+Return values are packed as a single @i64@: upper 32 bits = output pointer,
+lower 32 bits = output length. The output buffer is written into a scratch
+region of Wasm linear memory.
+
+For host functions that do not return data (only side effects), use
+'liftMemFunc_'.

+  input buffer in Wasm linear memory.
+* Reads and deserialises @a@ from that buffer using 'wasmPeek'.
+* Runs the user function.
+* Serialises @b@ into a scratch region of Wasm linear memory at 1 MiB offset.

+Module      : WasmEdge.Memory.Alloc
+Description : High-level bracket for Wasm-side memory allocation and data marshalling
+Copyright   : (c) 2026 Tushar Adhatrao
+License     : MIT
+Stability   : experimental
+
+Provides a high-level API for calling WebAssembly functions that accept or
+return heap-allocated data. This module implements the standard __guest-side
+allocation__ convention:
+
+1. The Wasm guest module exports:
+   * @alloc(size: i32) -> i32@   — allocate @size@ bytes, return pointer
+   * @dealloc(ptr: i32, len: i32)@ — free a previously allocated buffer
+
+2. The Haskell host serialises the input with 'WasmEdge.Memory.Codec.wasmPoke',
+   calls the Wasm function with @(ptr, len)@, and deserialises the output.
+
+This convention is compatible with the allocator produced by Rust's
+@#[no_mangle] pub fn alloc(size: usize) -> *mut u8@ pattern and with
+the @wasmedge-sdk@ Rust examples in this repository.
+
+== Quick start
+
+@
+-- Register the module first:
+registerModuleFromFile vm "my_module" "my_module.wasm" >>= throwOnFail
+
+-- Then call a function that takes Text (ptr, len) and returns Text (ptr, len):
+result \<- withWasmBuffer vm "my_module" "greet" defaultConvention ("Hello" :: Text)
+case result of
+  Left err  -> print err
+  Right txt -> putStrLn txt
+@
+
+See 'withWasmBuffer2' for two-argument variants.
+
+== Return value encoding
+
+The Wasm function must return a @(ptr: i32, len: i32)@ pair. We support two
+common encodings:
+
+* 'PackedI64' — packed into a single @i64@: @ptr \<\< 32 | len@. This is
+  allocation-free on the guest side.
+* 'SeparateI32s' — two separate @i32@ return values.

+Module      : WasmEdge.Memory.Codec
+Description : Typeclass for serialising Haskell values through Wasm linear memory
+Copyright   : (c) 2026 Tushar Adhatrao
+License     : MIT
+Stability   : experimental
+
+WebAssembly's type system only has four numeric types and references.
+Every complex value — @Text@, @ByteString@, a list, or any ADT — must be
+transported through __linear memory__: the Wasm module's heap.
+
+The canonical pattern (used by the Rust and Go SDKs) is:
+
+  1. The guest (Wasm) module exports @alloc(size: i32) -> i32@ and
+     @dealloc(ptr: i32, len: i32)@.
+  2. The host passes a @(ptr: i32, len: i32)@ pair for every buffer argument.
+  3. Both sides serialise complex data to\/from a flat byte representation.
+
+'WasmMemory' standardises step 3 on the Haskell side.
+
+== Encoding conventions
+
+* Primitive numeric types use __little-endian__ binary encoding (matches Wasm's
+  native byte order).
+* 'Text' is encoded as __UTF-8__ bytes.
+* 'ByteString' is passed __as-is__ (zero-copy where possible).
+* Complex ADTs should implement 'WasmMemory' using 'jsonWasmPoke' \/ 'jsonWasmPeek',
+  which serialises via @aeson@ JSON — the same convention used by @wit-bindgen@
+  and the WASI ecosystem.
+
+== Typical usage
+
+@
+-- Host reads a Text value from a Wasm linear memory buffer:
+txt \<- wasmPeek \@Text mem offset len
+
+-- Host writes an ADT back into linear memory (assuming a JSON instance):
+Right n \<- wasmPoke mem retOffset myRecord
+@
+

+Provides functions to encode 'WasmVal' into the C representation and
+decode it back. These are used internally by 'WasmEdge.VM' and
+'WasmEdge.Executor' when calling WASM functions.
+
+Most users interact with 'WasmVal' directly and never call these functions.

+synopsis:
+  Haskell bindings for the WasmEdge WebAssembly runtime
+
+description:
+  Comprehensive, type-safe Haskell FFI bindings for the WasmEdge C API.
+  .
+  Features:
+  .
+  * Full coverage of the WasmEdge 0.17.x C API
+  * Two-layer design: raw FFI layer + safe idiomatic public API
+  * Phantom-typed ownership model — no double-frees or use-after-free
+  * @bracket@-style resource management compatible with @MonadUnliftIO@
+  * Support for WASI, host functions, async execution, AOT compilation,
+    plugins, Tag instances (exception handling), and lazy JIT mode
+  * Property-tested with Hedgehog; unit-tested with HSpec
