Here is the complete and robust implementation of index.js.

This code uses a stream-safe buffer for raw TCP interactions via standard
Node.js net.Socket. It handles the bitwise operations necessary to convert
standard JS structures back and forth within your strict 16-register HAUKI-X86
Tagged Pointer memory system (assuming a standard low-2-bit tag structure).

const net = require('net'); // Tagged Pointer Constants const TAG_OBJECT = 0;
const TAG_INTEGER = 1; const TAG_STRING = 2; const TAG_ARRAY = 3; class
IrcMeshPlugin { install(engine, vfs) { this.engine = engine; this.myNick =
"hauki-" + Math.floor(Math.random() * 9999); // Expose Syscalls to the LPC
Compiler engine.registerSyscall('mesh_announce', this.efunAnnounce.bind(this));
 engine.registerSyscall('mesh_call', this.efunCall.bind(this)); // Internal
tracking this.knownObjects = new Map(); // target_obj -> target_nick
this.buffer = ''; // Stream buffer for IRC socket } start() { this.client =
net.createConnection({ port: 6667, host: 'irc.libera.chat' }, () => {
console.log(`[IRC Mesh] Connected. Authenticating as ${this.myNick}...`);

:HAUKI-X86 Node`); this._send(`JOIN #genesis-lpc-mesh`); }); this.client.on('da
ta', (data) => { this.buffer += data.toString(); let newlineIdx; while
((newlineIdx = this.buffer.indexOf('\r
')) !== -1) { const line = this.buffer.slice(0, newlineIdx); this.buffer =
this.buffer.slice(newlineIdx + 2); this._processIrcLine(line); } });
this.client.on('error', (err) => console.error('[IRC Mesh] Socket error:',
err)); this.client.on('close', () => console.log('[IRC Mesh] Socket
