Harbour lets a class define custom behaviour for arithmetic and
comparison operators via `OPERATOR "<sym>" ARG <name> INLINE <expr>`.
Five already had the runtime slot infrastructure (ClassDef.Operators
+ AddOperator + parent-chain copy) but parser skipped the form and
the VM ops never consulted the slots.
Parser: parseOperatorDecl captures the symbol, ARG binding, and
INLINE body into a MethodDecl with IsOperator=true and OperatorOp
set to the hbrt.Op* slot. Synthesised method name is __OP_<idx>
to keep the regular method namespace clean.
Codegen: emitClassDecl routes IsOperator members through
_def.AddOperator instead of AddMethod. Inline body generation is
shared with the MESSAGE/INLINE path (34485cd).
VM: Thread.tryBinaryOp walks the LHS object's class operator slot,
pushes args with Self bound to LHS, and returns true if the slot
is populated. Wired into Plus/Minus/Mult/Divide and Equal/NotEqual/
Less/Greater/LessEqual/GreaterEqual. Falls through to built-in
behaviour when no overload exists — non-object LHS costs one tag
check per op.
Operator symbol→slot mapping keeps `=` and `==` on the same slot
(OpEqual=8) because Five's gengo routes both to t.Equal() and the
VM doesn't distinguish strict vs non-strict equality today.
Tested (/tmp/test_operator.prg): Vec2 + - == < with per-field
results all correct.

Harbour's inline-method sugar was parsed but the body was skipped,
leaving any `METHOD X() INLINE expr` declaration registered in the
class vtable with no matching HB_<CLASS>_X function — link error
at build time.
Parser: MethodDecl gains an InlineBody Expr field. parseClassMethodDecl
captures the expression after INLINE instead of skipping to EOL.
New parseMessageDecl handles `MESSAGE <name> [(params)] INLINE expr`
and returns the same MethodDecl shape.
Codegen: emitClassDecl walks members a second time after the class
registration init block and emits emitInlineMethodBody for each
IsInline method — a Frame(nParams, 0) + emitExpr(InlineBody) +
RetValue function. curMethodClass is bound so ::super: inside an
inline body still resolves.
Tested (/tmp/test_inline.prg): all four patterns — bare INLINE,
MESSAGE INLINE, INLINE with params, INLINE reading ::field —
produce expected values.

All 3 remaining known constraints resolved. CLAUDE.md now shows zero.
1. CDX compound index WRITE support (was read-only)
New file: hbrdd/cdx/build.go (~400 LOC)
- CreateOrAddTag() builds Harbour-compatible CDX files
- Bit-packed leaf pages (RecBits/DupBits/TrlBits compression)
- Interior nodes with big-endian RecNo/ChildPage
- Compound root directory (structural B-tree of tag names)
- Append-safe: preserves existing tags when adding new ones
- Linked leaf pages (LeftPtr/RightPtr for sequential scan)
Pipeline: INDEX ON expr TAG tagname TO file
- ast.IndexCmd gains TagName field
- Parser captures TAG name (was discarded)
- gengo passes TagName to OrderCreateParams
- indexer.go routes to cdx.CreateOrAddTag when TAG specified
Verified: 3 tags (BYNAME/BYCITY/BYAGE), OrdSetFocus by name,
SEEK, GoTop/GoBottom, close+reopen with SET INDEX TO
2. {||} empty code block parsing in function arguments
Parser's parseArrayOrBlock() called parseExpr() unconditionally
after closing |, failing when body was empty ({||}).
Fix: check for RBRACE after closing | and emit NIL literal body.
{=>} empty hash already worked.
3. Semicolon IF...ENDIF — already worked (removed from constraints)

Release-blocking compatibility issues discovered during the 258-test
pre-release validation suite (100 syntax + 44 RDD + 114 RTL).
1. PCount() always returned 0 in PRG code
Root cause: ParamCount() returned t.pendingParams, which is
overwritten by every nested Function() call. By the time the
PCount() RTL's Frame() executes, pendingParams is already 0.
Fix: Frame() now stores pendingParams in frame.paramCount.
PCount() RTL uses CallerParamCount() which reads callSP-2
(the PRG caller's frame), while RTL functions still use
ParamCount() (reads pendingParams before their own Frame).
Verified: PCount(1,2,3)=3, PCount(1)=1, PCount()=0
2. Break("string") panicked instead of being caught by RECOVER USING
Root cause: Generated SEQUENCE code only caught *HbError panics.
Break() panics with BreakValue (a different type), which fell
through to EndProc's "runtime error" message and re-panic.
Fix (two parts):
a) gengo emitBeginSequence: recover closure now catches any
panic (interface{}), then dispatches via type switch:
- *HbError → extract .Error() string
- hasValue interface (BreakValue) → extract .GetValue()
- other → static "error" string
b) hbrtl/error.go: BreakValue gets GetValue() method for
duck-type detection without import cycles
c) hbrt/thread.go EndProc: BreakValue type name check added
so it re-panics silently (no stderr noise)
3. SET INDEX TO a, b, c only opened the last file
Root cause: Parser's parseSet() called parseExpr() once for
INDEX setting, stopping at the first comma. Remaining file
names were consumed by the "eat rest of line" loop.
Fix: Parser now collects comma-separated identifiers into a
single string literal "a,b,c". gengo splits on comma and
calls OrderListAdd() for each file.
Verified: SET INDEX TO si_name, si_city → OrdCount=2
All tests pass:
go test ./... 14 packages OK

- skipFilter: skip deleted records in GoTop/GoBottom/Skip when SET DELETED ON
- hbrdd.IsSetDeleted callback: avoids circular import hbrdd→hbrtl
- Parser: capture ON/OFF for boolean SET commands (DELETED, EXACT, SOFTSEEK, etc.)
- Parser: capture TO expr for SET DATE/DECIMALS/EPOCH
- Gengo: emit proper t.Do() calls for 11 SET toggles + 3 value SETs
- stmtSet: was stub (skipToEOL), now calls parseSet()
- RTL: register 11 SET toggle functions (SETDELETED, SETEXACT, etc.)
- RTL: DBLOCATE/DBCONTINUE for sequential search
- RTL: DBSETFILTER/DBCLEARFILTER/DBFILTER
- PadL/PadR: support 3rd param fill character
- Area interface: added SetFound, SetLocate, LocateBlock, filter methods
- MemRDD: implements new Area interface methods
- Comprehensive PRG test: test_search.prg (7 test suites all pass)
