iter form-a.0: prelude pilot — examples/prelude.ail rendered

First iteration of the form-a-default-authoring milestone. Mechanical:
one `ail render examples/prelude.ail.json > examples/prelude.ail`
captures the canonical Form-A projection (116 lines / 6386 bytes).
No source-code edits, no test edits.

The two auto-discovering roundtrip tests in
crates/ailang-surface/tests/round_trip.rs pick up the new fixture
via read_dir without test changes and both pass:
- every_ail_fixture_matches_its_json_counterpart — the .ail parses
  to canonical bytes byte-equal to prelude.ail.json (gate test).
- parse_then_print_then_parse_is_idempotent_on_every_ail_fixture —
  the Form-A printer is idempotent over prelude.

cargo test --workspace green at 558 tests (identical to pre-iter
baseline; audit-24 / iter-24.tidy lineage).

prelude.ail.json retained per spec §A2 — this is the singular
dual-form iter; iter 1 deletes it alongside the bulk test-infra
refactor.

Zero re-loops, zero review-phase repairs. Recon predictions matched
reality exactly (116 lines, 6386 bytes, `(module prelude` header,
558-test baseline). Strong signal that the iter-1+ bulk migration
mechanism is sound.

# Iter form-a.0 — Prelude Pilot
**Date:** 2026-05-13
**Parent spec:** `docs/specs/2026-05-13-form-a-default-authoring.md`
**Parent plan:** `docs/plans/2026-05-13-iter-form-a.0.md`
**Started from:** 4c2a3c5d0811aafb1bce5d6de8ad9a938fd98681
## Outcome
`examples/prelude.ail` rendered from `examples/prelude.ail.json` via
`ail render` (116 lines / 6386 bytes — exact recon match). The two
auto-discovering roundtrip tests in
`crates/ailang-surface/tests/round_trip.rs` both pass on the new
fixture without test-code changes:
- `every_ail_fixture_matches_its_json_counterpart` — green; the
`prelude.ail` parses to canonical bytes byte-equal to
`prelude.ail.json`.
- `parse_then_print_then_parse_is_idempotent_on_every_ail_fixture`
— green; the Form-A printer is idempotent over prelude.
`prelude.ail.json` is retained on disk per spec §A2; iter 1 deletes
it alongside the bulk test-infrastructure refactor. This is the
only iteration in the milestone where a fixture is dual-form.
## Why this iter is the pilot
Spec §A2 names prelude as the pilot because it exercises the widest
cross-section of language features in a single file: typeclasses
with superclasses (`Ord extends Eq`), polymorphic free functions
with constraints (`forall<a> where Show a fn print`), IO-effect
signatures, primitive ctor patterns, and the loader's auto-injection
path. A green roundtrip on prelude is strong evidence the bulk
migration in iter 1+ will not surface render or parse bugs.
## Verifications run
- `cargo run -q --bin ail -- render examples/prelude.ail.json > examples/prelude.ail` — exit 0
- `wc -lc examples/prelude.ail``116 6386` (exact recon prediction)
- `head -n 5 examples/prelude.ail` — first line `(module prelude`, second ` (data Ordering` (exact recon prediction)
- `cargo test -p ailang-surface --test round_trip every_ail_fixture_matches_its_json_counterpart` — PASS (1/1)
- `cargo test -p ailang-surface --test round_trip parse_then_print_then_parse_is_idempotent_on_every_ail_fixture` — PASS (1/1)
- `cargo test --workspace` — PASS, **558 tests green**, identical to pre-iter baseline (audit-24 / iter-24.tidy lineage).
## Scope NOT touched
Per spec §"Iteration scope": no test-infrastructure changes, no
CLAUDE.md / DESIGN.md edits, no deletion of `prelude.ail.json`,
no migration script yet. Those land in iter 1.
## INDEX append — Boss-side
Plan Task 2 Step 2 asks for an INDEX.md append. Per the
`ailang-implement-orchestrator` Iron Law, `docs/journals/INDEX.md`
is Boss-only. The orchestrator does not touch it. The Boss appends
the line at commit time. Suggested INDEX line (from the plan
verbatim, byte/line counts confirmed by Task 1 Step 2):
