# ct.1 — Canonical Type Names: Validator + Migration — Implementation Plan

> **Parent spec:** `docs/specs/2026-05-10-canonical-type-names.md` (Components row ct.1)
>
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: use `skills/implement`
> to run this plan. Steps use `- [ ]` checkboxes for tracking.

**Goal:** Land the `.ail.json` schema validator that enforces the
canonical-type-names rule (bare = primitive or local-to-this-file;
qualified = `<owner>.<TypeName>` for cross-module refs; qualified
class-name fields rejected), plus the one-shot migration tool that
rewrites the two stale `examples/` fixtures relying on the old
imports-fallback into the canonical form. After ct.1 the workspace
loader rejects bare cross-module Type::Con refs with a clear
diagnostic listing import-derived candidates.

**Architecture:** The validator lives in
`crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs` as `validate_canonical_type_names`
and runs at the end of `load_workspace`, after the prelude is injected
but before `validate_classdefs` / `build_registry` — so a stale bare
cross-module ref fires the *new* diagnostic instead of a downstream
one. Type::Con walking is shared with Term::Ctor.type_name (the
rules are identical: the field carries a Type::Con name). Class-name
fields use a simpler check (reject any `'.'`-containing string in
the 4 fields named by the spec).

The migration tool is a hidden CLI subcommand `ail migrate-canonical-types <dir>`
that walks every `*.ail.json` under `<dir>`, parses each as a Module,
and rewrites bare cross-module Type::Con names by scanning the import
graph in declaration order (mirroring iter 23.1.3's
`Term::Ctor`-synth imports-fallback so the rewrite never silently
shifts which type a fixture resolves to). The prelude is treated as
an implicit last-resort fallback (matches iter 23.2.4's implicit-
prelude behaviour). Idempotent: re-running over a canonical workspace
is a no-op. The tool is dev-only and not documented in
`docs/DESIGN.md` — it has one job, runs once at ct.1 close, and is
preserved as a regression aid (CI re-runs it and asserts no diff).

**Tech Stack:** `crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs` (validator +
3 new diagnostic variants), `crates/ail/src/main.rs` (migration
subcommand), `examples/*.ail.json` (2 fixtures rewritten, 3 new test
fixtures), `crates/ail/tests/` (one E2E test for migration
idempotence).

---

**Files this plan creates or modifies:**

- Modify: `crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs` — add 3 variants to
  `WorkspaceLoadError` (`BareCrossModuleTypeRef`,
  `BadCrossModuleTypeRef`, `QualifiedClassName`); add
  `validate_canonical_type_names`; call from `load_workspace` after
  prelude injection.
- Modify: `crates/ail/src/main.rs` — add `Cmd::MigrateCanonicalTypes`
  subcommand handler.
- Migrate: `examples/ordering_match.ail.json` — `"type":"Ordering"`
  → `"type":"prelude.Ordering"` (1 occurrence in `Term::Ctor`).
- Migrate: `examples/test_22b1_dup_a.ail.json` —
  `"name":"MyInt"` (in `Type::Con` inside `InstanceDef.type_`) →
  `"name":"test_22b1_dup_b.MyInt"`.
- Modify: `examples/test_22b2_kind_mismatch.ail.json` — unchanged;
  but the regression test that loads it must be updated (see Task 6).
- Create: `examples/test_ct1_bare_xmod_rejected.ail.json` — fixture
  exercising the new diagnostic on a bare Ordering reference.
- Create: `examples/test_ct1_bad_qualifier.ail.json` — fixture
  exercising `BadCrossModuleTypeRef` on `Mystery.Type`.
- Create: `examples/test_ct1_qualified_class_rejected.ail.json` —
  fixture exercising `QualifiedClassName` on
  `InstanceDef.class`.
- Modify: `crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs::mod tests` — new
  unit tests per spec §Testing strategy; update the kind-mismatch
  test to expect `BareCrossModuleTypeRef` instead of `KindMismatch`
  (validator fires first).

---

## Task 1: New error variants + `validate_canonical_type_names` scaffolding + Type::Con validation

**Subject:** add 3 diagnostic variants and the validator function;
implement the Type::Con rule end-to-end. Term::Ctor and class-name
checks land in Tasks 2 and 3.

**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs` — error enum (after
  line 291, the existing `ReservedModuleName` variant); fn body
  appended at end of `impl`-block region (`~line 720` after
  `walk_kind_mismatch`).
- Test: `crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs::mod tests` — six new
  unit tests covering the cases enumerated in spec §Testing strategy.

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing tests**

Append to `crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs::mod tests`, after the
existing tests. These tests construct a synthetic Module in-memory
(via `serde_json::json!` → `serde_json::from_value`) and run the
validator directly so they do not depend on file-system fixtures:

```rust
/// ct.1: a `Type::Con` whose `name` is a primitive (`Int` / `Bool` /

```

Plus three small `fn` helpers in the same `mod tests`:

```rust
fn module_with_type_def(name: &str, type_name: &str) -> Module {
    serde_json::from_value(serde_json::json!({

```

- [ ] **Step 2: Run the tests to verify they fail**

Run: `cargo test --workspace -p ailang-core ct1_validator_`
Expected: FAIL — all six tests fail with "cannot find function `validate_canonical_type_names`".

- [ ] **Step 3: Add the three new error variants to `WorkspaceLoadError`**

In `crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs`, append after the
`ReservedModuleName` variant (line ~291):

```rust
    /// ct.1 (canonical-type-names): a `Type::Con` whose `name` is
    /// neither a primitive nor a local TypeDef of the owning module
    /// was encountered. Under the canonical-form rule, bare =
    /// local; a bare cross-module ref is a schema violation.
    /// `candidates` lists the qualified forms found by scanning the
    /// owning module's imports in declaration order.
    #[error(
        "module `{module}` contains bare type name `{name}` that does not resolve to a local type. \
        AILang's `.ail.json` requires cross-module type references to be qualified. \
        Candidates from imports: {candidates:?}. Run `ail migrate-canonical-types` to fix legacy fixtures."
    )]
    BareCrossModuleTypeRef {
        module: String,
        name: String,
        candidates: Vec<String>,
    },

    /// ct.1: a qualified `Type::Con` of the form `<owner>.<type>`
    /// was encountered, but `<owner>` is not a known module in the
    /// workspace, or `<owner>` is known but declares no TypeDef
    /// named `<type>`.
    #[error(
        "module `{module}` references qualified type `{name}` but the owner module is not known \
        or does not declare a type by that name"
    )]
    BadCrossModuleTypeRef {
        module: String,
        name: String,
    },

    /// ct.1: a class-reference field (`InstanceDef.class`,
    /// `SuperclassRef.class`, `Constraint.class`, or
    /// `ClassDef.name`) contains a `.` — under this milestone class
    /// names are NOT module-qualified (see DESIGN spec §"Out of
    /// scope: Class names"). The schema rejects qualified forms so
    /// half-migrated files cannot silently load.
    #[error(
        "module `{module}` contains qualified class name `{name}` in field `{field}`. \
        Class names are not module-qualified in this milestone; \
        keep the bare form."
    )]
    QualifiedClassName {
        module: String,
        name: String,
        field: &'static str,
    },
```

- [ ] **Step 4: Add the validator function (Type::Con + primitive rules only)**

First, extend the existing top-of-file `use` line in
`crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs` from

```rust
use crate::ast::{ClassDef, Def, InstanceDef, Module, Type};
```

to

```rust
use crate::ast::{ClassDef, Def, InstanceDef, Module, Term, Type};
```

(the new `Term` import is needed by `walk_term_embedded_types` below).

Then append at the end of `crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs`, after
`walk_kind_mismatch` and before `fn type_head_name`:

```rust
/// ct.1: the five primitive type names that are always bare under
/// the canonical-form rule. Kept in sync with `Type::int`,
/// `Type::bool_`, `Type::str_`, `Type::unit`, `Type::float` in

fn is_primitive_type_name(name: &str) -> bool {
    matches!(name, "Int" | "Bool" | "Str" | "Unit" | "Float")
}

/// ct.1: enforce the canonical-form rule on every `Type::Con` and
/// `Term::Ctor.type_name` reference in every loaded module. Runs
/// after prelude injection and before class-schema validation, so a

/// rather than a downstream one.
///
/// Rule per spec §Architecture:
/// 1. Qualified `<owner>.<type>`: `<owner>` must be a known module,
///    `<type>` must be one of its TypeDefs. Else `BadCrossModuleTypeRef`.
/// 2. Bare primitive (`Int`/`Bool`/`Str`/`Unit`/`Float`): accepted.
/// 3. Bare non-primitive: must be a TypeDef in the owning module.
///    Else `BareCrossModuleTypeRef` with `candidates` = qualified
///    forms found by scanning the owning module's imports.

- [ ] **Step 5: Run the tests to verify they pass**

Run: `cargo test --workspace -p ailang-core ct1_validator_`
Expected: PASS — all six tests green.

- [ ] **Step 6: Run the workspace's full test suite to confirm no regressions**

Run: `cargo build --workspace && cargo test --workspace -p ailang-core`
Expected: PASS. The validator is NOT yet wired into `load_workspace`,
so existing fixtures continue to load.

- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**

```bash
git add crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs
git commit -m "iter ct.1.1: validator scaffolding + Type::Con canonical-form rules"
```

---

## Task 2: Extend the validator to walk `Term::Ctor.type_name`

**Subject:** the canonical-form rule on `Type::Con.name` is identical
to the rule on `Term::Ctor.type_name` — both fields name a TypeDef.
This task plumbs the existing `check_type_con_name` through Term
walking so a `Term::Ctor { type: "Ordering", ... }` inside a fn body
also fires the diagnostic.

**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs` — add `walk_def_terms`
  + `walk_term_types_and_ctor_names`; call from
  `validate_canonical_type_names`.
- Test: append one new unit test exercising the Term::Ctor path.

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**

Append to `crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs::mod tests`:

```rust
/// ct.1: a `Term::Ctor` whose `type_name` is a bare cross-module ref
/// must fire `BareCrossModuleTypeRef`. Symmetric to the Type::Con
/// rule but the field lives on Term, not Type.
#[test]
fn ct1_validator_rejects_bare_term_ctor_type_name() {
    let mut modules = BTreeMap::new();
    modules.insert("prelude".to_string(),
        module_with_type_def("prelude", "Ordering"));
    // Module `m` has no imports, no local Ordering, but a Term::Ctor
    // referencing bare `Ordering`.
    let m: Module = serde_json::from_value(serde_json::json!({
        "schema": crate::SCHEMA,
        "name": "m",
        "imports": [],
        "defs": [{
            "kind": "fn",
            "name": "f",
            "type": { "k": "fn", "params": [], "ret": { "k": "con", "name": "Unit" }, "effects": [] },
            "params": [],
            "body": {
                "t": "ctor",
                "type": "Ordering",
                "ctor": "LT",
                "args": []
            }
        }],
    })).unwrap();
    modules.insert("m".to_string(), m);
    let err = validate_canonical_type_names(&modules)
        .expect_err("bare Term::Ctor type must be rejected");
    match err {
        WorkspaceLoadError::BareCrossModuleTypeRef { module, name, candidates } => {
            assert_eq!(module, "m");
            assert_eq!(name, "Ordering");
            assert_eq!(candidates, vec!["prelude.Ordering".to_string()],
                "prelude is implicit-fallback");
        }
        other => panic!("expected BareCrossModuleTypeRef, got {other:?}"),
    }
}
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Run the test to verify it fails**

Run: `cargo test --workspace -p ailang-core ct1_validator_rejects_bare_term_ctor`
Expected: FAIL — Term::Ctor walking is not yet implemented, so the
validator does not visit `body.ctor.type` and the call returns Ok(()).

- [ ] **Step 3: Add Term walking to the validator**

Extend `validate_canonical_type_names` in
`crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs` (immediately after the
`walk_def_types` call for Type-side coverage, in the per-def loop):

```rust
            walk_def_terms(def, &mut |type_name: &str| {
                check_type_con_name(
                    type_name, mod_name, &local_types, &import_names,
                )
            })?;
```

Add these helpers after `walk_type`:

```rust
/// ct.1: walk every `Term::Ctor.type_name` reachable from a single
/// `Def`, plus every `Type` embedded in `Term::Lam` annotations,
/// calling `f` on the type_name strings and (separately) on the
/// embedded types. Used to enforce the canonical-form rule on
/// term-side type references.

where
    F: FnMut(&str) -> Result<(), WorkspaceLoadError>,

        Def::Class(cd) => {

                if let Some(body) = &cm.default {
                    walk_term(body, f)?;
                }
            }
            Ok(())
        }

            Ok(())
        }
    }
}

## Task 3: Class-name field rejection (4 fields)

**Subject:** reject any `.` in `ClassDef.name`, `InstanceDef.class`,
`SuperclassRef.class`, and `Constraint.class`. Per spec §"Out of
scope: Class names", class names are NOT module-qualified in this
milestone; the validator catches half-migrated files where these
fields slipped through.

  `validate_canonical_type_names` with a class-name pass.
- Test: append one unit test per field (4 tests).

Extend `validate_canonical_type_names`'s per-def loop in
`crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs` (immediately after the
`walk_def_terms` call):

```rust
            check_class_name_fields(def, mod_name)?;
```

And add the new fn after `walk_pattern`:

## Task 4: Migration subcommand `ail migrate-canonical-types <dir>`

**Subject:** add the dev-only CLI subcommand that walks `<dir>/*.ail.json`,
rewrites bare cross-module Type::Con and Term::Ctor.type_name
references to their qualified form using the first-match-in-imports-order
disambiguation rule (with prelude as implicit last-resort). Idempotent.

**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ail/src/main.rs` — new variant `Cmd::MigrateCanonicalTypes { dir: PathBuf }`
  + handler.
- Modify: `crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs` — expose
  `walk_def_types_mut` + `walk_def_terms_mut` as `pub(crate)` so the
  CLI can mutate. (Implementer may instead choose to write the rewrite
  inline in main.rs using `serde_json::Value` editing — both are valid;
  the implementer picks the cleaner one. The plan prefers the AST-mutating
  variant for type-safety.)
- Test: `crates/ail/tests/migrate_canonical_types.rs` (new) —
  E2E test that builds a synthetic workspace in a tempdir, runs the
  migration, and asserts the rewritten files are byte-stable on a
  second run (idempotence).

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing E2E test**

Create `crates/ail/tests/migrate_canonical_types.rs`:

```rust
//! ct.1: E2E test for `ail migrate-canonical-types <dir>`.
//!
//! Builds a synthetic workspace in a tempdir with one fixture that
//! has a bare cross-module Type::Con ref, runs the migration, then
//! asserts: (a) the rewritten fixture's `Term::Ctor.type_name` is
//! now qualified; (b) running migration again produces no diff
//! (idempotence).

use std::fs;
use std::path::PathBuf;
use std::process::Command;

fn tmp_dir(tag: &str) -> PathBuf {
    let d = std::env::temp_dir().join(format!(
        "ailang_migrate_test_{tag}_{}",
        std::process::id()
    ));
    let _ = fs::remove_dir_all(&d);
    fs::create_dir_all(&d).unwrap();
    d
}

fn ail_bin() -> PathBuf {
    // CARGO_BIN_EXE_<name> is set by cargo when building integration tests.
    PathBuf::from(env!("CARGO_BIN_EXE_ail"))
}

#[test]
fn migrate_canonical_types_rewrites_bare_xmod_term_ctor() {
    let dir = tmp_dir("rewrites_bare_xmod");
    // Defining module: `other` declares `type Foo`.
    let other_path = dir.join("other.ail.json");
    fs::write(&other_path, serde_json::to_vec_pretty(&serde_json::json!({
        "schema": "ailang/v0",
        "name": "other",
        "imports": [],
        "defs": [{ "kind": "type", "name": "Foo", "ctors": [{ "name": "MkFoo", "fields": [] }] }],
    })).unwrap()).unwrap();
    // Consumer module: imports `other`, uses bare `Foo` Term::Ctor.
    let main_path = dir.join("main.ail.json");
    let bare_module = serde_json::json!({
        "schema": "ailang/v0",
        "name": "main",
        "imports": [{ "module": "other" }],
        "defs": [{
            "kind": "fn", "name": "f",
            "type": { "k": "fn", "params": [], "ret": { "k": "con", "name": "Unit" }, "effects": [] },
            "params": [],
            "body": { "t": "ctor", "type": "Foo", "ctor": "MkFoo", "args": [] }
        }],
    });
    fs::write(&main_path, serde_json::to_vec_pretty(&bare_module).unwrap()).unwrap();

    // Run migration.
    let status = Command::new(ail_bin())
        .args(["migrate-canonical-types", dir.to_str().unwrap()])
        .status()
        .expect("ail binary must launch");
    assert!(status.success(), "migration exited non-zero");

    // Inspect rewritten consumer.
    let after: serde_json::Value = serde_json::from_slice(
        &fs::read(&main_path).unwrap()
    ).unwrap();
    let ctor_type = after["defs"][0]["body"]["type"].as_str().unwrap();
    assert_eq!(ctor_type, "other.Foo",
        "Term::Ctor.type must be qualified after migration");

    // Idempotence: run migration again, capture bytes, compare.
    let bytes_before = fs::read(&main_path).unwrap();
    let status2 = Command::new(ail_bin())
        .args(["migrate-canonical-types", dir.to_str().unwrap()])
        .status()
        .expect("ail binary must launch");
    assert!(status2.success(), "second migration exited non-zero");
    let bytes_after = fs::read(&main_path).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(bytes_before, bytes_after, "migration must be idempotent");
}
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Run the test to verify it fails**

Run: `cargo build --workspace && cargo test --workspace -p ail migrate_canonical_types_rewrites_bare_xmod_term_ctor`
Expected: FAIL — the `migrate-canonical-types` subcommand does not
yet exist; the binary will print an unrecognised-subcommand error.

- [ ] **Step 3: Add the subcommand**

In `crates/ail/src/main.rs`, add to the `enum Cmd` (anywhere is fine;
after `MergeProse` is conventional):

```rust
    /// ct.1 (dev-only): rewrite every `*.ail.json` under `<dir>` so
    /// that bare cross-module `Type::Con` and `Term::Ctor.type_name`
    /// references gain their owning module's qualifier. Idempotent.
    /// Uses the first-match-in-imports-order disambiguation rule
    /// (matches iter 23.1.3's imports-fallback) so the rewrite never
    /// silently changes which type a fixture resolves to. Prelude is
    /// treated as an implicit last-resort fallback.
    MigrateCanonicalTypes {
        /// Directory containing `*.ail.json` to migrate (typically
        /// `examples/`).
        dir: PathBuf,
    },
```

In the `match cli.cmd { ... }` block in `fn main`, add the handler.
The implementation walks every `*.ail.json` under `dir`, parses each
as a `Module`, applies the rewrite per-file, and writes back via
canonical JSON. Implementation skeleton:

```rust
        Cmd::MigrateCanonicalTypes { dir } => {
            use ailang_core::ast::{Def, Module, Term, Type};
            use ailang_core::canonical;
            use std::collections::{BTreeMap, BTreeSet};
            use std::fs;

            // Pass 1: load every *.ail.json in `dir` into a map by
            // module name (NOT via load_workspace — these fixtures
            // may currently fail validation).
            let mut modules: BTreeMap<String, (PathBuf, Module)> = BTreeMap::new();
            for entry in fs::read_dir(&dir)? {
                let entry = entry?;
                let path = entry.path();
                if path.extension().and_then(|s| s.to_str()) != Some("json") {
                    continue;
                }
                let bytes = fs::read(&path)?;
                let m: Module = match serde_json::from_slice(&bytes) {
                    Ok(m) => m,
                    Err(_) => continue, // not a Module (e.g. snapshot files)
                };
                modules.insert(m.name.clone(), (path, m));
            }

            // Include the embedded prelude (so the implicit fallback
            // matches the loader's behaviour).
            let prelude_json: &str = include_str!(
                "../../../examples/prelude.ail.json"
            );
            let prelude: Module = serde_json::from_str(prelude_json)
                .expect("embedded prelude must parse");
            if !modules.contains_key("prelude") {
                modules.insert("prelude".to_string(),
                    (PathBuf::new(), prelude));
            }

            // Pre-pass: per-module local-types index.
            let mut local_types: BTreeMap<String, BTreeSet<String>> = BTreeMap::new();
            for (name, (_, m)) in &modules {
                let mut s = BTreeSet::new();
                for d in &m.defs {
                    if let Def::Type(t) = d {
                        s.insert(t.name.clone());
                    }
                }
                local_types.insert(name.clone(), s);
            }

            // Pass 2: rewrite each module's bare cross-module refs.
            // Skip the prelude entry (synthetic, no path to write to).
            let mut rewritten = 0usize;
            for (mod_name, (path, m)) in modules.iter_mut() {
                if mod_name == "prelude" && path.as_os_str().is_empty() {
                    continue;
                }
                let import_names: Vec<String> =
                    m.imports.iter().map(|i| i.module.clone()).collect();
                let owning = mod_name.clone();

                // Walk types + terms and mutate Type::Con.name +
                // Term::Ctor.type_name. The mutation rule mirrors
                // the validator's `check_type_con_name` but, on bare
                // non-primitive non-local hits, rewrites instead of
                // erroring.
                let mut changed = false;
                for def in &mut m.defs {
                    rewrite_def(def, &owning, &local_types, &import_names, &mut changed);
                }
                if changed {
                    let bytes = serde_json::to_vec_pretty(m)?;
                    fs::write(path, bytes)?;
                    println!("migrated: {}", path.display());
                    rewritten += 1;

}
```

- [ ] **Step 4: Run the test to verify it passes**

Run: `cargo test --workspace -p ail migrate_canonical_types_rewrites_bare_xmod_term_ctor`
Expected: PASS — the migration rewrites the bare ref, and the second
run leaves bytes unchanged.

- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**

```bash
git add crates/ail/src/main.rs crates/ail/tests/migrate_canonical_types.rs
git commit -m "iter ct.1.4: dev-only ail migrate-canonical-types subcommand"
```

---

## Task 5: Run migration on `examples/` — single bulk commit

**Subject:** apply the migration tool to the in-tree fixtures. The
fixture survey identified two files that today rely on the
imports-fallback for bare cross-module Type::Con / Term::Ctor refs:

- `examples/ordering_match.ail.json` — `Term::Ctor.type_name` =
  `"Ordering"` (bare, owner is implicit prelude).
- `examples/test_22b1_dup_a.ail.json` — `Type::Con.name` = `"MyInt"`
  (bare, owner is imported `test_22b1_dup_b`).

The migration tool rewrites both to their qualified form. No other
in-tree fixture should change (intra-module-only fixtures are
bit-stable per spec §Migration impact).

**Files:**
- Run: `cargo run --bin ail -- migrate-canonical-types examples/`
- Migrate (auto-rewritten): `examples/ordering_match.ail.json`,
  `examples/test_22b1_dup_a.ail.json`.

- [ ] **Step 1: Run the migration on `examples/`**

Run: `cargo run --bin ail -- migrate-canonical-types examples/`
Expected stdout: two lines `migrated: examples/...`, followed by
`done. 2 file(s) rewritten.` If a different count appears, **stop
and diagnose**: extra rewrites mean the survey missed a fixture, or
the tool is over-eager.

- [ ] **Step 2: Inspect the diff**

Run: `git diff examples/`
Expected: exactly two files changed; each diff is a single-string
substitution:

- `ordering_match.ail.json`: `"type": "Ordering"` → `"type": "prelude.Ordering"`
  (1 occurrence inside `Term::Ctor`).
- `test_22b1_dup_a.ail.json`: `"name": "MyInt"` → `"name": "test_22b1_dup_b.MyInt"`
  (1 occurrence inside `Type::Con`).

Plus any reformatting `serde_json::to_vec_pretty` introduces. If the
reformatting introduces unrelated whitespace churn that obscures the
substantive change, the implementer may use `jq --indent 2` or a
minimal post-pass to preserve original formatting — but the rewrite
itself MUST round-trip the AST, not the bytes, so some byte-level
churn is acceptable.

- [ ] **Step 3: Verify both migrated fixtures still load + work**

Run: `cargo test --workspace`
Expected: PASS — the typechecker's existing imports-fallback paths
continue to handle the qualified form (they already do, per iter
23.1.3's documentation). The validator is NOT yet wired (that lands
in Task 6), so the migration is just a pre-emptive shape change at
this point.

- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**

```bash
git add examples/ordering_match.ail.json examples/test_22b1_dup_a.ail.json
git commit -m "iter ct.1.5: migrate bare cross-module type refs in examples/"
```

---

## Task 6: Wire validator into `load_workspace` + update kind-mismatch test expectation

**Subject:** wire `validate_canonical_type_names` into `load_workspace`
(immediately after prelude injection, before `validate_classdefs`).
Update the existing kind-mismatch regression test, whose fixture
uses `Type::Con { name: "f" }` as the class param — the new
validator now catches this shape as a `BareCrossModuleTypeRef`
BEFORE `validate_classdefs` runs. Verify full `cargo test
--workspace` green.

**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs::load_workspace` —
  add a call to `validate_canonical_type_names` after the prelude
  insertion, before `validate_classdefs`.
- Modify: `crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs::tests::class_param_in_applied_position_fires_kind_mismatch`
  — update to expect `BareCrossModuleTypeRef { name: "f", .. }`
  instead of `KindMismatch`. Rename the test to reflect what it
  actually pins: `class_param_in_applied_position_fires_canonical_form_rejection`.
  The `KindMismatch` diagnostic path becomes structurally
  unreachable through well-formed schema; leave the existing
  `validate_classdefs` code in place for now (cleanup is out of
  scope for ct.1 — eligible for a follow-up tidy later).

- [ ] **Step 1: Wire the validator**

In `crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs::load_workspace`, after the
existing `modules.insert("prelude".to_string(), prelude);` and
before `validate_classdefs(&modules)?;`, add:

```rust
    // ct.1: enforce the canonical-form rule on Type::Con and
    // Term::Ctor.type_name. Runs before class-schema validation
    // so a stale bare cross-module ref fires the canonical-form
    // diagnostic instead of a downstream one.
    validate_canonical_type_names(&modules)?;
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Update the kind-mismatch test expectation**

In `crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs::mod tests`, replace the
existing `class_param_in_applied_position_fires_kind_mismatch` test
with:

```rust
    /// ct.1: a class whose parameter `f` appears as a `Type::Con`
    /// name (the malformed-but-historically-test-fixture shape used
    /// to trigger `KindMismatch` pre-ct.1) is now caught earlier by
    /// the canonical-type-names validator: `f` is bare,
    /// non-primitive, and not a TypeDef in the owning module, so
    /// `BareCrossModuleTypeRef` fires before `validate_classdefs`
    /// gets a chance to run. The `KindMismatch` path stays in the
    /// codebase as dead-but-defensive code; a future tidy may
    /// retire it.
    #[test]
    fn class_param_in_applied_position_fires_canonical_form_rejection() {
        let entry = std::path::PathBuf::from(
            "../../examples/test_22b2_kind_mismatch.ail.json",
        );
        let err = load_workspace(&entry)
            .expect_err("must fire canonical-form rejection");
        match err {
            WorkspaceLoadError::BareCrossModuleTypeRef { module, name, .. } => {
                assert_eq!(module, "test_22b2_kind_mismatch");
                assert_eq!(name, "f");
            }
            other => panic!(
                "expected BareCrossModuleTypeRef (validator now fires first), got {other:?}",
            ),
        }
    }
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Run the workspace test suite**

Run: `cargo test --workspace -p ailang-core`
Expected: PASS.

If any other test fails because its fixture now trips the validator,
the implementer must:

1. **Stop and survey.** A failing test outside the kind-mismatch one
   is a signal that the migration in Task 5 missed a fixture.
2. **Don't adapt the test to the bug** — re-run the migration tool
   on the failing fixture, confirm it picks the right qualifier, and
   include the rewrite in this task's commit.
3. **If the migration tool can't fix it** (e.g. the bare ref names a
   type that doesn't exist in any imported or prelude module), the
   fixture is malformed schema; that's a separate diagnosis. Report
   `BLOCKED` and escalate to the orchestrator.

- [ ] **Step 4: Run the full workspace test suite (all crates)**

Run: `cargo build --workspace && cargo test --workspace`
Expected: PASS — `ailang-check`, `ailang-codegen`, `ail`'s E2E suite,
all green.

- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**

```bash
git add crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs
git commit -m "iter ct.1.6: wire validator into load_workspace; refresh kind-mismatch test"
```

## Task 7: Three new fixture tests for the diagnostic surface

**Subject:** the unit tests in Tasks 1-3 use synthetic in-memory
modules. For the diagnostic shape to be observable via the `ail
check` CLI path (and for fieldtest-style end-to-end pinning), three
on-disk fixtures land here. Each fixture is paired with a test in
`crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs::mod tests`.

**Files:**
- Create: `examples/test_ct1_bare_xmod_rejected.ail.json` — bare
  `Ordering` Term::Ctor without imports.
- Create: `examples/test_ct1_bad_qualifier.ail.json` — qualified
  `Mystery.Type` with `Mystery` not a known module.
- Create: `examples/test_ct1_qualified_class_rejected.ail.json` —
  qualified `prelude.Eq` in an `InstanceDef.class` field.
- Modify: `crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs::mod tests` — three
  new fixture-loading tests.

- [ ] **Step 1: Create fixture 1 — bare cross-module ref**

Create `examples/test_ct1_bare_xmod_rejected.ail.json`:

```json
{
  "schema": "ailang/v0",
  "name": "test_ct1_bare_xmod_rejected",
  "imports": [],
  "defs": [
    {
      "kind": "fn",
      "name": "main",
      "type": {
        "k": "fn",
        "params": [],
        "ret": { "k": "con", "name": "Unit" },
        "effects": ["IO"]
      },
      "params": [],
      "body": {
        "t": "ctor",
        "type": "Ordering",
        "ctor": "LT",
        "args": []
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Create fixture 2 — bad qualifier**

Create `examples/test_ct1_bad_qualifier.ail.json`:

```json
{
  "schema": "ailang/v0",
  "name": "test_ct1_bad_qualifier",
  "imports": [],
  "defs": [
    {
      "kind": "fn",
      "name": "f",
      "type": {
        "k": "fn",
        "params": [],
        "ret": { "k": "con", "name": "Mystery.Type" },
        "effects": []
      },
      "params": [],
      "body": { "t": "lit", "lit": { "kind": "unit" } }
    }
  ]
}
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Create fixture 3 — qualified class name**

Create `examples/test_ct1_qualified_class_rejected.ail.json`:

```json
{
  "schema": "ailang/v0",
  "name": "test_ct1_qualified_class_rejected",
  "imports": [],
  "defs": [
    {
      "kind": "instance",
      "class": "prelude.Eq",
      "type": { "k": "con", "name": "Int" },
      "methods": []
    }
  ]
}
```

- [ ] **Step 4: Add three on-disk fixture tests**

Append to `crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs::mod tests`:

```rust
/// ct.1: on-disk fixture for `BareCrossModuleTypeRef`. Bare
/// `Ordering` Term::Ctor with no imports; the validator catches it
/// after prelude injection (so the candidate list contains
/// `prelude.Ordering`).
#[test]
fn ct1_fixture_bare_xmod_rejected() {
    let entry = examples_dir().join("test_ct1_bare_xmod_rejected.ail.json");
    let err = load_workspace(&entry).expect_err("must reject bare Ordering");
    match err {
        WorkspaceLoadError::BareCrossModuleTypeRef { module, name, candidates } => {
            assert_eq!(module, "test_ct1_bare_xmod_rejected");
            assert_eq!(name, "Ordering");
            assert_eq!(candidates, vec!["prelude.Ordering".to_string()]);
        }
        other => panic!("expected BareCrossModuleTypeRef, got {other:?}"),
    }
}

/// ct.1: on-disk fixture for `BadCrossModuleTypeRef`. Qualified
/// `Mystery.Type` with `Mystery` not a known module.
#[test]
fn ct1_fixture_bad_qualifier() {
    let entry = examples_dir().join("test_ct1_bad_qualifier.ail.json");
    let err = load_workspace(&entry).expect_err("must reject Mystery.Type");
    match err {
        WorkspaceLoadError::BadCrossModuleTypeRef { module, name } => {
            assert_eq!(module, "test_ct1_bad_qualifier");
            assert_eq!(name, "Mystery.Type");
        }
        other => panic!("expected BadCrossModuleTypeRef, got {other:?}"),
    }
}

/// ct.1: on-disk fixture for `QualifiedClassName`. Qualified
/// `prelude.Eq` in an `InstanceDef.class` field — the schema
/// rejects this so half-migrated files cannot silently load.
#[test]
fn ct1_fixture_qualified_class_rejected() {
    let entry = examples_dir().join("test_ct1_qualified_class_rejected.ail.json");
    let err = load_workspace(&entry).expect_err("must reject prelude.Eq");
    match err {
        WorkspaceLoadError::QualifiedClassName { module, name, field } => {
            assert_eq!(module, "test_ct1_qualified_class_rejected");
            assert_eq!(name, "prelude.Eq");
            assert_eq!(field, "InstanceDef.class");
        }
        other => panic!("expected QualifiedClassName, got {other:?}"),
    }
}
```

- [ ] **Step 5: Run the new fixture tests**

Run: `cargo test --workspace -p ailang-core ct1_fixture_`
Expected: PASS — all three on-disk fixture tests green.

- [ ] **Step 6: Run the full workspace test suite**

Run: `cargo build --workspace && cargo test --workspace`
Expected: PASS.

- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**

```bash
git add crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs examples/test_ct1_*.ail.json
git commit -m "iter ct.1.7: on-disk fixture tests for canonical-form diagnostics"
```

## Coverage check (Step-5 self-review post-write)

| Spec §                  | Task |
|-------------------------|------|
| Validator rule 1 (qualified) | Task 1 (Type::Con) + Task 2 (Term::Ctor) |
| Validator rule 2 (primitive) | Task 1 |
| Validator rule 3 (bare local + bare-xmod rejection) | Task 1 + Task 2 |
| Class-name field rejection | Task 3 |
| Migration tool (imports-order disambiguation) | Task 4 |
| Migration on `examples/` (2 fixtures) | Task 5 |
| Wire into `load_workspace` + kind-mismatch test refresh | Task 6 |
| On-disk fixture tests | Task 7 |
| `cargo test --workspace` green | Task 6 + Task 7 (re-verified) |

Out of scope per spec, NOT in ct.1: removal of the 4 obsolete
mechanisms (Pattern::Ctor imports-fallback, Term::Ctor synth
imports-fallback, lookup_ctor_by_type fallback, mono ctor_index
overlay). Those land in ct.2 and ct.3. The validator gates the
canonical form; the cleanup follows once we know nothing depends
on the fallbacks at consumer sites.

DESIGN.md amendments are ct.4, not ct.1.
