feat(cma): revive cross-model harness corpus to current language (refs #68)

Browse Source 
The cma authoring-form harness corpus had gone dead against the language
as it evolved since May. The plan modelled it as merely schema-dead
(missing param_modes/ret_mode); it was also drift-dead in the example
BODIES. Fixed in place, with `ail check` + both test suites as the oracle:

- Schema: param_modes/ret_mode completed on every fn type; existing
  borrow annotations preserved (data_with_match's borrow over List).
- Symbol drift: `<`/`==` -> `lt`/`eq` (operator-routing); the removed
  `io/print_int` op -> print_str(int_to_str n) followed by a newline
  print, preserving the trailing newline the references' expected_stdout
  needs.
- Ownership/ADT restructures: data_simple's reuse-as now wraps the
  source in a match arm (ctor must be statically visible);
  data_with_match's count_via_letrec + local go switched borrow->own
  (consume-while-borrowed under the tightened ownership analysis;
  head_or_zero still exercises borrow over the boxed List).
- param_modes_all rewritten to own (Int) + borrow over a boxed ADT --
  (borrow Int) is now a borrow-over-value error.
- Two new author-facing examples (loop_sum: Loop/Recur; new_rawbuf: New)
  cover the Term variants that landed since May.
- spec_completeness.rs: drop the deleted ParamMode::Implicit; cover
  Loop/Recur/New; allowlist the non-authorable Term::Intrinsic out.
- spec.md section 4 rewritten to own/borrow (mandatory, no implicit)
  with the borrow-over-value rule; rendered/ regenerated.
- mock_full_run fixture's t3 turn-2 program migrated so the harness
  score assertions hold; usage fields untouched.

Both render/ and harness/ cargo test suites green in mock mode; no live
IONOS call. Run the harness budget/reference tests with AIL_BIN pointing
at target/debug/ail (ail is not on PATH in the test env).

## 4. Mode annotations
Every function parameter carries a mode. The mode says how the
callee may treat the value: `implicit` is the legacy default
(treated as `own`), `own` means the caller transfers ownership and
the callee consumes the value, `borrow` means the caller retains
ownership and the callee may inspect but not consume.
Every function parameter carries a mode, and so does the return
position. There are exactly two modes. `own` means the caller
transfers ownership and the callee consumes the value; `borrow`
means the caller retains ownership and the callee may inspect but
not consume. `borrow` is legal only over a boxed type (an algebraic
data type): unboxed value types (`Int`, `Bool`, `Float`, `Unit`)
are always `own`, and borrowing one is a `borrow-over-value` error.
The mode also applies to the return value: `ret_mode` says whether
the function transfers ownership to the caller (`own`) or returns a
borrow (`borrow`). For most functions the return mode is `own` or
implicit; `borrow` returns are rare and used only for accessor-style
functions.
The return position is always `own` — a function returns a fresh
owned value; borrow-returns are not permitted.
Modes are mandatory on every parameter and on the return position.
The schema rejects unannotated fn signatures only when annotations
are explicitly requested; for compatibility the legacy form (no
mode field at all) is treated as all-implicit.
Modes are mandatory: every parameter and the return position carries
exactly one mode. There is no default or omitted mode.
{form-only: json}
On `Type::Fn`, two optional fields carry modes:
On `Type::Fn`, two required fields carry modes:
- `param_modes`: array of strings `"implicit"`, `"own"`, or
`"borrow"`, one per parameter, in the same order as `params`. The
array is omitted from the canonical bytes when every entry is
`"implicit"`; this is purely a serialisation optimisation. Author
the field explicitly when at least one parameter is `own` or
`borrow`.
- `ret_mode`: a single string of the same vocabulary. Omitted when
it would be `"implicit"`.
- `param_modes`: an array of strings, each `"own"` or `"borrow"`,
one per parameter, in the same order as `params`.
- `ret_mode`: a single string, always `"own"`.
Example: a fn that borrows two ints and returns an int:
`"param_modes": ["borrow", "borrow"]`, `ret_mode` omitted (implicit).
A fn that consumes a list and returns a new list:
Both are present on every fn type. Example — a fn that borrows a
boxed list and returns an int: `"param_modes": ["borrow"]`,
`"ret_mode": "own"`. A fn that consumes an int and returns an int:
`"param_modes": ["own"]`, `"ret_mode": "own"`.

@@ -173,21 +165,13 @@ Modes are surface wrappers around the type in parameter and return
position. Inside a `(fn-type ...)`:
- `(params (own T1) (borrow T2))` — `T1` is owned, `T2` is borrowed.
- `(ret (own T))` — the function returns an owned value.
- A bare type with no mode wrapper is implicit (legacy default).
- `(ret (own T))` — the return is always owned.
When all parameters and the return are implicit, the surface omits
the mode wrappers entirely; this is the canonical form for fns that
do not yet need explicit annotations. Adding modes is a forward
change: an existing fn keeps the same canonical bytes as long as no
annotation is added.
Writing `(borrow T)` on a parameter the typechecker wants `own`
for surfaces as the `over-strict-mode` diagnostic — advisory, and
suppressable via the fn def's `suppress` clause. The mode is part
of the fn's signature and contributes to its content hash, so
making the choice explicit at authoring time avoids surprise
hash changes when the typechecker's defaults shift.
Every parameter and the return carries a mode wrapper; there is no
bare-type (mode-less) form. `borrow` is legal only over a boxed
type: `(borrow (con Int))` is a `borrow-over-value` error — write
`(own (con Int))`. The mode is part of the fn's signature and
contributes to its content hash.

## 4. Mode annotations
Every function parameter carries a mode. The mode says how the
callee may treat the value: `implicit` is the legacy default
(treated as `own`), `own` means the caller transfers ownership and
the callee consumes the value, `borrow` means the caller retains
ownership and the callee may inspect but not consume.
Every function parameter carries a mode, and so does the return
position. There are exactly two modes. `own` means the caller
transfers ownership and the callee consumes the value; `borrow`
means the caller retains ownership and the callee may inspect but
not consume. `borrow` is legal only over a boxed type (an algebraic
data type): unboxed value types (`Int`, `Bool`, `Float`, `Unit`)
are always `own`, and borrowing one is a `borrow-over-value` error.
The mode also applies to the return value: `ret_mode` says whether
the function transfers ownership to the caller (`own`) or returns a
borrow (`borrow`). For most functions the return mode is `own` or
implicit; `borrow` returns are rare and used only for accessor-style
functions.
The return position is always `own` — a function returns a fresh
owned value; borrow-returns are not permitted.
Modes are mandatory on every parameter and on the return position.
The schema rejects unannotated fn signatures only when annotations
are explicitly requested; for compatibility the legacy form (no
mode field at all) is treated as all-implicit.
Modes are mandatory: every parameter and the return position carries
exactly one mode. There is no default or omitted mode.
Modes are surface wrappers around the type in parameter and return
position. Inside a `(fn-type ...)`:
- `(params (own T1) (borrow T2))` — `T1` is owned, `T2` is borrowed.
- `(ret (own T))` — the function returns an owned value.
- A bare type with no mode wrapper is implicit (legacy default).
- `(ret (own T))` — the return is always owned.
When all parameters and the return are implicit, the surface omits
the mode wrappers entirely; this is the canonical form for fns that
do not yet need explicit annotations. Adding modes is a forward
change: an existing fn keeps the same canonical bytes as long as no
annotation is added.
Writing `(borrow T)` on a parameter the typechecker wants `own`
for surfaces as the `over-strict-mode` diagnostic — advisory, and
suppressable via the fn def's `suppress` clause. The mode is part
of the fn's signature and contributes to its content hash, so
making the choice explicit at authoring time avoids surprise
hash changes when the typechecker's defaults shift.
Every parameter and the return carries a mode wrapper; there is no
bare-type (mode-less) form. `borrow` is legal only over a boxed
type: `(borrow (con Int))` is a `borrow-over-value` error — write
`(own (con Int))`. The mode is part of the fn's signature and
contributes to its content hash.

## 4. Mode annotations
Every function parameter carries a mode. The mode says how the
callee may treat the value: `implicit` is the legacy default
(treated as `own`), `own` means the caller transfers ownership and
the callee consumes the value, `borrow` means the caller retains
ownership and the callee may inspect but not consume.
Every function parameter carries a mode, and so does the return
position. There are exactly two modes. `own` means the caller
transfers ownership and the callee consumes the value; `borrow`
means the caller retains ownership and the callee may inspect but
not consume. `borrow` is legal only over a boxed type (an algebraic
data type): unboxed value types (`Int`, `Bool`, `Float`, `Unit`)
are always `own`, and borrowing one is a `borrow-over-value` error.
The mode also applies to the return value: `ret_mode` says whether
the function transfers ownership to the caller (`own`) or returns a
borrow (`borrow`). For most functions the return mode is `own` or
implicit; `borrow` returns are rare and used only for accessor-style
functions.
The return position is always `own` — a function returns a fresh
owned value; borrow-returns are not permitted.
Modes are mandatory on every parameter and on the return position.
The schema rejects unannotated fn signatures only when annotations
are explicitly requested; for compatibility the legacy form (no
mode field at all) is treated as all-implicit.
Modes are mandatory: every parameter and the return position carries
exactly one mode. There is no default or omitted mode.
On `Type::Fn`, two optional fields carry modes:
On `Type::Fn`, two required fields carry modes:
- `param_modes`: array of strings `"implicit"`, `"own"`, or
`"borrow"`, one per parameter, in the same order as `params`. The
array is omitted from the canonical bytes when every entry is
`"implicit"`; this is purely a serialisation optimisation. Author
the field explicitly when at least one parameter is `own` or
`borrow`.
- `ret_mode`: a single string of the same vocabulary. Omitted when
it would be `"implicit"`.
- `param_modes`: an array of strings, each `"own"` or `"borrow"`,
one per parameter, in the same order as `params`.
- `ret_mode`: a single string, always `"own"`.
Example: a fn that borrows two ints and returns an int:
`"param_modes": ["borrow", "borrow"]`, `ret_mode` omitted (implicit).
A fn that consumes a list and returns a new list:
Both are present on every fn type. Example — a fn that borrows a
boxed list and returns an int: `"param_modes": ["borrow"]`,
`"ret_mode": "own"`. A fn that consumes an int and returns an int:
`"param_modes": ["own"]`, `"ret_mode": "own"`.
