-## Architecture Decisions
-
-### 1. CRTP (Curiously Recurring Template Pattern) - ACTIVE ✅
-
-Static polymorphism without vtable overhead:
+## Architecture Patterns
 
+### 1. CRTP for Zero-Cost Polymorphism
 ```cpp
 template<typename Derived>
 class GCBase {
@@ -293,626 +114,264 @@ public:
     GCObject* next;
     lu_byte tt;
     lu_byte marked;
-
-    bool isWhite() const noexcept { return testbits(marked, WHITEBITS); }
-    bool isBlack() const noexcept { return testbit(marked, BLACKBIT); }
-    lu_byte getAge() const noexcept { return getbits(marked, AGEBITS); }
+    // Common GC methods...
 };
 
 class Table : public GCBase<Table> { /* ... */ };
-class TString : public GCBase<TString> { /* ... */ };
 ```
 
-All 9 GC-managed classes inherit from GCBase<Derived>.
-
-### 2. Full Encapsulation Pattern
-
-All classes now have private fields with comprehensive accessor suites:
-
+### 2. Full Encapsulation
 ```cpp
-// Pure C++ - no conditional compilation
 class Table : public GCBase<Table> {
 private:
     lu_byte flags;
     unsigned int asize;
     Value *array;
-    Node *node;
-    Table *metatable;
-    GCObject *gclist;
+    // All fields private
 
 public:
-    // Inline accessors
+    // Comprehensive accessor suite
     inline unsigned int arraySize() const noexcept { return asize; }
     inline Value* getArray() noexcept { return array; }
 
-    // Methods
-    lu_byte get(const TValue* key, TValue* res);
-    void set(lua_State* L, const TValue* key, TValue* value);
-};
-```
-
-### 3. Exception Handling
-
-Modern C++ exceptions replaced setjmp/longjmp:
-
-```cpp
-class LuaException : public std::exception {
-    int status_;
-public:
-    explicit LuaException(int status) : status_(status) {}
-    int getStatus() const { return status_; }
+    // std::span accessors (Phase 115.3)
+    inline std::span<Value> getArraySpan() noexcept;
 };
 ```
 
-### 4. Zero-Cost Forwarding
-
-Methods forward to existing C functions for compatibility:
-
-```cpp
-lu_byte Table::get(const TValue* key, TValue* res) {
-    return luaH_get(this, key, res);
-}
-
-// C function wrapper for API compatibility
-inline lu_byte luaH_get(Table *t, const TValue *key, TValue *res) {
-    return t->get(key, res);
-}
-```
+### 3. Modern C++ Features
+- **enum class**: Type-safe enumerations
+- **[[nodiscard]]**: Prevent ignored return values
+- **constexpr**: Compile-time evaluation
+- **std::span**: Type-safe array views
+- **std::array**: Fixed-size arrays
+- **nullptr**: Type-safe null pointer

-### Naming
+## Code Style
 
+### Naming Conventions
 - **Classes**: PascalCase (Table, TString, FuncState)
 - **Methods**: camelCase (get, arraySize, getGlobalState)
 - **Members**: snake_case (asize, lsizenode, nuvalue)
 - **Constants**: UPPER_SNAKE_CASE (LUA_TNIL, WHITEBITS)
 
-### Const-Correctness

 ### Inline Strategy
-
-- Field accessors: inline
-- Simple computations: inline constexpr
-- Forwarding functions: inline
+- Field accessors: `inline`
+- Simple computations: `inline constexpr`
+- Forwarding functions: `inline`
 - Complex logic: separate .cpp implementation
 
-### Hot-Path Performance
-
-For VM-critical code (lvm.cpp, ldo.cpp), use reference accessors:
-
-```cpp
-// Hot path - avoid copies
-StkIdRel& topRef() noexcept { return top; }
-CallInfo*& ciRef() noexcept { return ci; }
-
-// Instead of
-StkIdRel getTop() const noexcept { return top; }  // Copy - slower!

-## Common Patterns
-
-### Pattern 1: Struct → Class Conversion
-
-```cpp
-class StructName : public GCBase<StructName> {
-private:
-    // All fields private
-    type field1;
-    type field2;
-
-public:
-    // Inline accessors
-    inline type getField1() const noexcept { return field1; }
-    inline void setField1(type val) noexcept { field1 = val; }
-
-    // Reference accessors for hot paths
-    inline type& field1Ref() noexcept { return field1; }
-
-    // Pointer accessors for GC/external manipulation
-    inline type* getField1Ptr() noexcept { return &field1; }
-
-    // Methods
-    void methodName(params);
-};
-```
-
-### Pattern 2: Inline Constexpr Replacement
-
-```cpp
-// Before
-#define ttisnil(v)  (ttype(v) == LUA_TNIL)
-
-// After
-inline constexpr bool ttisnil(const TValue* v) noexcept {
-    return ttype(v) == LUA_TNIL;
-}
-```
-
-### Pattern 3: C Function → Method Conversion
-
-```cpp
-// Before: Free function
-void luaK_codeABC(FuncState *fs, OpCode o, int a, int b, int c);
-
-// After: Method on FuncState
-class FuncState {
-public:
-    void codeABC(OpCode o, int a, int b, int c);
-};
-
-// Wrapper for C API compatibility
-inline void luaK_codeABC(FuncState *fs, OpCode o, int a, int b, int c) {
-    fs->codeABC(o, a, b, c);
-}
-```

-
-## Key Learnings
-
-1. **Inline functions are zero-cost** - No measurable overhead vs macros
-2. **C++ can be faster** - Potential 3% improvement with optimizations
-3. **CRTP is zero-cost** - Static dispatch without vtables
-4. **Encapsulation doesn't hurt performance** - Same compiled code with good accessors
-5. **Exceptions are efficient** - Faster than setjmp/longjmp
-6. **Incremental conversion works** - Small phases with frequent testing
-7. **Reference accessors critical for hot paths** - Avoid copies in VM interpreter
-8. **Comprehensive testing essential** - 30+ test files catch regressions
-

 ## Macro Conversion Status
 
-### Completed (~500 macros converted - ~99%!)
-
-**Categories converted:**
-- ✅ Type checks (ttisnil, ttisstring, etc.) - ALL DONE
-- ✅ Type tests (ttype, ttisnumber, etc.) - ALL DONE
-- ✅ Field accessors (converted to methods) - ALL DONE
-- ✅ Simple expressions - ALL DONE
-- ✅ Character type checks - ALL DONE
-- ✅ Instruction manipulation - ALL DONE
-- ✅ cast() macro - Eliminated in Phase 111 (48 instances)
-
-### Remaining (~5 macros - mostly necessary)
-
-**Only 5 function-like macros remain:**
-
-1. **`EQ()` in ltests.cpp** - Test-only utility macro (low priority)
-2. **`UNUSED()` in ltests.h** - Test infrastructure (keep as-is)
-3. **`L_INTHASBITS()` in lopcodes.h** - **MUST STAY** - Preprocessor conditional for compile-time checks
-4. **`UNUSED()` in llimits.h** - Utility macro for unused parameters (keep as-is)
-5. **`LUAI_DDEC()` in llimits.h** - API declaration macro (keep as-is)
+### ~99% Complete!
 
-**Status**: ~99% complete! Remaining macros are either:
-- Necessary for preprocessor conditionals (cannot convert)
-- Test infrastructure (low value to convert)
-- Utility macros (conventional to keep)
+**Converted** (~500 macros):
+- ✅ Type checks (ttisnil, ttisstring, etc.)
+- ✅ Field accessors (converted to methods)
+- ✅ Instruction manipulation
+- ✅ cast() macro (Phase 111)
 
-### Keep as Macros (Do NOT Convert)
-
-**Token-Pasting Macros**:
-```cpp
-// MUST remain macro - uses token pasting (##)
-#define setgcparam(g,p,v)  (g->gc##p = (v))
-```
-
-**Public API Macros** (C compatibility):
-```cpp
-// MUST remain macro - part of public C API
-#define lua_call(L,n,r)  lua_callk(L, (n), (r), 0, NULL)
-```
-
-**Configuration Macros**:
-```cpp
-// Keep as macro - compile-time configuration
-#define LUAI_MAXSHORTLEN 40
-```
-
-**Note**: The macro conversion campaign is essentially complete! Only 5 macros remain, and 4 of them should stay as macros for valid technical reasons.
+**Remaining** (5 macros - intentionally kept):
+1. `L_INTHASBITS()` - Preprocessor conditional (cannot convert)
+2. `setgcparam()` - Token-pasting (uses ##)
+3. `UNUSED()` - Utility macro (keep as-is)
+4. `LUAI_DDEC()` - API declaration (keep as-is)
+5. `EQ()` - Test-only (low priority)
