Decision-5 IR-readability affordance for kernels (M1 fieldtest
spec_gap). DESIGN.md Decision 5 makes "the compiler emits LLVM IR
as text so the LLM can read what it generated" a load-bearing
author affordance, but `ail emit-ir` has no `--emit=staticlib`
(only `ail build` does), and `emit-ir` on a `main`-free kernel
hits the executable-path `MissingEntryMain` rejection — so the
author cannot read the generated `@<sym>` forwarder for an
exported kernel, the exact thing M1 introduced. Resolution chosen
on the merits: **add** `--emit=staticlib` to `ail emit-ir`
(symmetric with `ail build`, reusing the `Target::StaticLib`
path) — NOT narrow DESIGN.md (narrowing a load-bearing affordance
to dodge a gap is the wrong direction). Scoped feature, no design
fork. P1.
spec_gap#2) — CLOSED 2026-05-18. `ail emit-ir` had no
`--emit=staticlib` (only `ail build` did) and on a `main`-free
kernel hit the executable-path `MissingEntryMain` rejection — an
author could not read the generated `@<sym>` forwarder for an
exported kernel. Resolution **added** (DESIGN.md *widened*, never
narrowed): a one-line symmetric codegen convenience
`lower_workspace_staticlib(ws)` routing through the M1-audited
unchanged `Target::StaticLib` path, an `emit` clap field on
`Cmd::EmitIr` symmetric with `Cmd::Build`'s, a zero-export guard
byte-identical to `build_staticlib`'s; DESIGN.md §"Embedding ABI
(M1)" affordance sentence + a CLI-synopsis correction also
discharging a pre-existing M1 `ail build --emit=staticlib`
omission. No new doc pin (E2E pins behaviour; architect's
milestone-close DESIGN.md read catches stale prose). Boss-verified:
3 new E2E 3/0 (incl. functional CLI spot-check — `@backtest_step`
external forwarder readable, no `@main`), `embed_staticlib_cli`
2/0 (build-side untouched), `docs_honesty_pin` 5/0, `ail` 186/0,
workspace 623→626 (+3), zero out-of-scope diff, no fixture minted.
Scoped feature — no audit/fieldtest gate (E2E is the coverage;
reuses the M1-audited codegen path, no invariant/surface change).
