spec: cross-model harness corpus revival (refs #68)
The cma authoring-form harness (experiments/2026-05-12-cross-model-authoring) is milestone-complete but its corpus went schema-dead: the implicit-cutover made param_modes/ret_mode mandatory, so today's ail check rejects 100% of the master examples + reference solutions and the renderer crashes on load. This spec revives the corpus to the current language and gets a mock run green. Scope (corpus-first, method-form-later per #68): minimal field-completion preserving existing modes; two new author-facing examples (loop/recur, new); spec.md section 4 rewritten to own/borrow with the borrow-over-value rule surfaced under the parse-gate; spec_completeness allowlists the non-authorable Term::Intrinsic out; mock fixture migrated so harness score assertions hold. No live IONOS call. Old specs 0017/0018 left intact as closed-milestone history. |

fix(codegen): drop branch-consume-split owned params (#63 leg 3)
The last leg of the #63 drop-soundness cluster: an (own ...) heap param consumed on one match-arm / if-branch but live on a sibling was never dropped on the live path, leaking one slab per call. This was the residual live=2 leak in series_sma that kept the series headline from being leak-clean. Root: the per-fn aggregate consume_count (the worst-case max over all branches from uniqueness::merge_states) was codegen's only consume signal, and every owned-param drop site gated on it. A param consumed on SOME branch makes the aggregate >= 1, so every site skipped it — including the branch where it stays live. match and if share this root (if is first-class MTerm::If, not desugared to match). Mechanism (spec 0068): - CAPTURE: uniqueness retains the per-branch consume snapshots it already computes per branch and discarded at the max merge — new BranchConsume + infer_module_with_cross_branches (the aggregate-only infer_module_with_cross now delegates and drops the channel). - CARRY: additive MArm.consume / MTerm::If.{then,else}_consume, attached by lower_to_mir via a traversal-order cursor (post-order pop, kind- and exhaustion-asserts make a desync a loud panic; neutral for const bodies which uniqueness does not walk). The AST carries no node id, so the correspondence is the structural pre-order both walks share — pinned by branch_consume_maps_attach_to_matching_arms. - GATE: emit_leakclass_branch_param_drops fires a fall-through drop only for the leak class (branch_consume==0 AND aggregate>=1), in match arms + both if branches; the pre-tail-call dec switches its gate source from the aggregate to per-arm. The fn-return dec and arm-close pattern-binder dec are UNCHANGED. Safety: - Double-free: the drop sites partition by aggregate (==0 -> existing fn-return/pre-tail-call; >=1 -> new per-branch). Disjoint, so no param is dropped twice — no fn-return disable, no tail-position analysis. - Use-after-free: the checker rejects use-after-consume, so an aggregate>=1 param is provably dead past the construct (path-terminal drop, tail position irrelevant). - Type eligibility (found by the full-suite gate during implement; spec 0068 refined): the new agg>=1 site is the FIRST drop site that can reach a STATIC closure-pair param (a top-level fn ref like inc in Either.either, consumed on one arm, live on the other) — a .rodata constant with no rc-header. field_drop_call routes Type::Fn / static-Str / Type::Var to the bare ailang_rc_dec, which underflowed on it. The helper now drops only params with a real per-type heap-ADT drop fn (field_drop_call != "ailang_rc_dec"). Sound (no underflow) and leak-correct (a static closure/Str allocates nothing). Witnessed green by std_either_demo / std_list_demo / poly_rec_capture_demo. Verification: full workspace suite green (116 binaries); both new leak pins (if + match) and series_sma_no_leak_pin green at live=0; legs 1/2 pins still green; INTERCEPTS<->(intrinsic) bijection intact; no Pattern::Lit reject path added. The leg-3 helper's type precondition was applied inline by the orchestrator (a narrowing guard clause in an already-reviewed Task-4 helper, full context loaded) after the implement-orchestrator correctly surfaced the spec gap rather than papering over the regression. This clears the series_sma leak tail; the series milestone (#61) close stays a separate deliberate step (its end-to-end milestone fieldtest). closes #63 |

spec: branch-consume-split drop soundness (#63 leg 3)
Design spec for the last open leg of bug #63: an (own ...) heap param consumed on one branch of a match/if but live on a sibling branch is never dropped on the live branch, leaking one slab per call. This is the residual live=2 leak in series_sma that keeps the series milestone #61 from closing. The leak is general (match AND if, not Series-specific): the per-fn aggregate consume_count — the worst-case max over all branches from uniqueness::merge_states — is codegen's only consume signal, and every owned-param drop site gates on it. A param consumed on some branch makes the aggregate >= 1, so every drop site skips it, including the branch where it stays live. Approach A (chosen, scope = the whole branch-consume-split class): retain the per-branch consume snapshots the uniqueness walker already computes and currently discards at the max merge; carry them additively on MArm.consume and MTerm::If.{then,else}_consume (attached by lower_to_mir in structural traversal-order lock-step, since Term/Match/If/Arm carry no node id); codegen reads them at the branch drop sites. The check pass stays the sole consume authority (the mir.3a direction). Mechanism (refined during planning recon, simpler + provably safe than the first draft's fn-return-disable): the drop sites PARTITION by aggregate consume, so the per-branch map only ever ADDS drops for the leak class and never collides with an existing site: - fn-return dec (lib.rs) and arm-close pattern-binder dec: UNCHANGED. They keep firing for aggregate == 0 (live on every path). - pre-tail-call dec (match_lower.rs): gate source switches from the per-fn aggregate to the per-arm map. Identical decision for legs 1/2 (aggregate 0 => per-arm 0 on every arm); additionally drops a param live on this tail-call arm but consumed on a sibling. - NEW fall-through drop (match arms + if branches), before the br to the join: fires ONLY for the leak class — branch_consume == 0 AND aggregate >= 1. Double-free safety is disjointness by aggregate: the new drop needs aggregate >= 1, fn-return needs aggregate == 0 — mutually exclusive, so no fn-return disable and no tail-position analysis are needed. Use-after-free safety: the checker REJECTS using an owned value after it was consumed on any branch (use-after-consume), pinned green by use_after_consume_on_own_param_is_reported and harden_ownership_heap_double_consume_still_errors — so an aggregate>=1 param is provably never live past the construct, making the per-branch drop path-terminal regardless of tail position. grounding-check PASS (all load-bearing assumptions ratified by green tests / structural fact, incl. the disjointness and use-after-consume claims). Two RED repros carried: the already-committed ignored match pin and a new if-branch pin. refs #63 |

fieldtest(series-step1): 5 examples, 5 findings (1 bug, 1 friction, 1 spec-gap)
Post-ship field test of the shipped `series` library extension as a downstream Form-A author working from the public surface only. Five fixtures under examples/fieldtest/ across the construction/auto-import, ring-buffer/financial-indexing, len/total_count bookkeeping, param-in error-quality, and operator-naming axes; spec at docs/specs/0067-fieldtest-series-step1.md. Wins (carry-on): auto-import works with no `(import series)`; the financial index (0 = newest) maps directly onto the bounded-buffer mental model and stays correct after multiple wraps; the param-in diagnostic for a disallowed element type names the type, the type-variable, the qualified type, and the allowed set. Findings routed: - [bug] An owned ADT threaded through tail-recursion whose base case neither returns nor consumes it is never dropped — a general drop-soundness leak (a plain `Box` control with no Series/RawBuf also leaks). Series surfaces it heavily on the whitepaper's headline streaming pattern, and the committed reference examples/series_sma.ail itself leaks (live=8). Minimal repro: series-step1_5 (live=4). - [friction] `ail describe ... Series.push` (the canonical type-scoped form) reports module-not-found; only `series.push` / bare `push` resolve, and no command lists a type's op set. - [spec_gap] referencing a kernel base type (`RawBuf`) from a user ADT ctor field requires full qualification (`raw_buf.RawBuf`) while bare `Series` works in type-position via auto-import — the asymmetry is undocumented. The fixtures that leak still produce correct output; the leak is a separate observable under AILANG_RC_STATS and an orthogonal, pre-existing bug, not a Series defect. refs #61 |

fieldtest: raw-buf milestone — 4 examples, 3 findings (refs #7)
Milestone-close fieldtest for the raw-buf milestone, milestone-scope
variant: four end-to-end scenarios derived top-down from the milestone
promise (construct via (new RawBuf <elem> <size>), fill/read via
set/get, size-only buffers, element variety across {Int,Float,Bool},
forbidden-element reject at check, buffer threading under own/borrow).
Result confirms the milestone-promise hypothesis — RawBuf is clean
end to end, zero bugs:
- mrb_1 Int fill/read loop: check ok, run + native build both print 70
- mrb_2 Float own->own threading + borrow read: prints 3.5
- mrb_3 size-only Bool buffer (#51 legitimate-but-unobserved case): prints 8
- mrb_4 Unit element: rejected at check with a precise
param-not-in-restricted-set diagnostic; build stops at the same
error, codegen never reached (the #51 fix)
Two [working] findings (carry-on) and one [spec_gap]: the
kernel-extensions whitepaper (design/models/0007) teaches bare-mode
fn-type slots that the post-#55 parser rejects. Verified and triaged
separately; the ledger fix follows in its own commit.

test(cutover): live accept/reject corpus for the #55 ownership surface
Wires the #55-cutover fieldtest into a durable regression net. The
fieldtest exercised the post-cutover ParamMode={Own,Borrow} surface as a
downstream LLM author would and produced 12 fixtures + a report; left as
loose files they would be dead fixtures that drift. This commits them as
a protected property.
crates/ail/tests/cut55_cutover_surface.rs — one table-driven test running
each fixture through `ail check` and asserting accept (exit 0) or reject
at the right pipeline stage. Reject rows key on the bracketed diagnostic
CODE (consume-while-borrowed, borrow-over-value, borrow-return-not-permitted,
surface-parse-error), NOT message text, so the test is decoupled from the
diagnostic-wording improvement tracked separately.
examples/fieldtest/cut55_*.ail — the corpus. cut55_2c is the #58 repro
(now correctly rejected). cut55_2b was misanalysed by the fieldtest as a
consume-while-borrowed reject; in fact bump's recursive param is
(borrow List) so the tail is only borrowed, never consumed into an own
slot — `ail check` correctly accepts it. Renamed to
cut55_2b_borrow_traversal_clean and recast as the #58 false-positive
guard (a borrow-position use of a heap sub-binder must stay accepted).
cut55_1b similarly does not fire over-strict-mode (its recursive call
consumes the tail, so the lint's consume_count==0 premise fails) — comment
corrected; it is a plain accept. cut55_1c is the genuine over-strict-mode
example (accepts exit 0, emits the warning).
docs/specs/0065-eliminate-implicit-mode fieldtest report — moved 2c to
the reject set, added the 2b false-positive-guard section, marked the
double-free spec_gap RESOLVED (it shipped as the #58 fix).
Relates to #55.

spec: 0064 harden ownership analysis part 2 (#57)
The #55 cutover (plan 0121, Task 4) is blocked: deleting
ParamMode::Implicit activates the strict linearity check universally,
but the migrated corpus does not pass cleanly. #56 (spec 0063) closed
two false-positive classes; universal activation surfaces three more

hardening, sibling to 0063, landing before the irreversible variant
deletion. It does NOT patch a fifth phase onto plan 0121 (project
rule: 2+ blocking classes = spec defect).
Four additive fixes, no schema/hash/codegen change, check stays
diagnostic-only:
- Type table teed from the typecheck pass (synth Let arm at lib.rs:3808

plan: eliminate the Implicit ownership default (0121)
Executable projection of spec 0062 (#55) into four tasks: (1) the borrow-return reject, (2) the borrow-over-value reject, (3) a throwaway `ail migrate-modes` pass (parse -> Implicit->Own, keep explicit own/borrow -> print explicit), (4) the atomic cutover (run the migration over the corpus + hand-fix the read-only-heap params the now-universal linearity check flags, delete the variant + all compile sites compiler-driven, parser bare-slot reject, reset the hash pins, flip the leak pin, update both contracts, drop the throwaway). Placeholder-free; all seven surface fixtures parse-gated against HEAD. Spec 0062 marked approved (user, 2026-06-01) and its soundness re-validated against post-#56 HEAD: the three own-return-provenance / regime-A fixtures still exit 1 under [consume-while-borrowed]; #56's application-is-a-borrow change does not weaken them (none is an application of a borrowed binder). plan-recon folded four spec-enumeration corrections into the plan: - kernel migration target is raw_buf/source.ail, not the retired kernel_stub/source.ail the spec cited; - FIVE hash pins shift, not the two the spec named (embed_export_hash, eq_ord_e2e, mono_hash_stability are the missed twins); - design/contracts/0002-data-model.md also documents the "implicit" JSON form and is drift-anchored -> updates alongside 0008; - real counts are 261 fn-type fixtures (spec ~208) and 17 fn_implicit references (spec 16); the compiler is the authoritative enumerator. refs #55 |

spec: harden the ownership analysis for universal activation (0063)
Precondition for #55 (eliminate ParamMode::Implicit, spec 0062). The strict linearity check (use-after-consume / consume-while-borrowed) runs today only on the ~45 of 258 all-explicit-mode fns; deleting Implicit turns it on universally and surfaces ~21% false positives in two classes — value-type params (Int/Bool/Float/Unit, never consumed) and applied function params in HOFs (application is a borrow). Two design questions settled against the live tool, not the model: - Str is heap, NOT a value type for consume-tracking. drop.rs:490-492 lowers only Int/Bool/Float/Unit to non-ptr; Str is a ptr, RC-dec'd, so a multi-consume of Str without clone is a real use-after-free. The value-type set is the unboxed {Int,Bool,Float,Unit}, narrower than is_primitive_name (which includes Str). - Applying a function value is a borrow; passing it as an arg follows callee param_modes (unchanged). The recursion-passing HOF pattern is then consistent under a borrow f-param. All three false-positive classes reproduced today against explicit-mode fns (testable without #55) and recorded as RED fixtures; a heap double-consume fixture stays RED to prove the exemption is type-gated. grounding-check PASS. refs #56 |

spec: eliminate the Implicit ownership default (0062)
Design spec for #55, superseding #54. Deletes ParamMode::Implicit in a single cutover -> binary {Own, Borrow}; no defaulted ownership mode survives on any fn-type slot, authored or compiler-synthesised. The grounding pass corrected the central architecture claim. Both #55 and the first draft assumed a new return-provenance check was needed to reject an own-return aliasing a borrowed binder, "silently accepted today". Running the candidate fixtures through the live `ail check` falsified that: consume-while-borrowed already rejects all three provenance paths -- direct passthrough, let-indirection, and borrow escaping into a returned constructor (regime A). Own-return soundness and regime A are already-green properties. The cutover therefore adds exactly one new check (borrow-return rejection) plus one signature-level reject (borrow-over-value), not two new provenance analyses. Scope decisions ratified: keyword stays verbal (own/borrow), ParamMode keeps its name; totality is strict including value-type slots (every slot moded, (own value) trivial, (borrow value) an error, bare slot a parse error) so an LLM author needs no heap/value knowledge. The leak fix (spec 0061 symptom) falls out of Implicit->Own at the synthesis sites: the old typechecker made Implicit and Own indistinguishable (mode_eq), so setting Own changes no typecheck outcome -- it only flips the codegen dec gate from skip to emit. Out of scope: re-enabling borrow-returns (needs the escape/liveness axis), multi-return, mode polymorphism. grounding-check: PASS (7 assumptions ratified against named green tests; all fenced ail blocks validated against the live tool). refs #55 |

docs(fieldtest): record the typed-MIR milestone-close fieldtest
Milestone-close fieldtest of the typed-MIR work, run by a downstream LLM author exercising only the public interface. Four curated scenarios plus a reduction-bisect set, derived top-down from the milestone promise (heap-Str-across-recur, new-over-user-ADT, cross-module print__<UserType>, combined render loop). Three [working] findings ratified: new-over-user-ADT + Show + print (#51/#53 class), cross-module synthesised print, and heap-Str-across-recur value correctness all produced correct output first try. One [bug] found and orchestrator-verified: returning an owned heap-Str from a callee fn across the call boundary leaks exactly one RC slab (live=1) — producer-independent (str_concat, int_to_str), loop-independent, silent (output correct). It sits in the coverage gap the curated *_no_leak_pin fixtures leave open (they keep the heap-Str expression inside main). Distinct from #49 (loop-carried within one frame); this is the function-return leg. Routed to debug RED-first; blocks the deliberate milestone-close until GREEN. |

docs(design): ratify the check→codegen boundary (mir.5, typed-MIR close)
mir.5 is the typed-MIR milestone's closing iteration. Its CODE half had
already converged before the iteration began, so mir.5 ships no code —
it ratifies into the design/ ledger the boundary the code already holds.
Verified at iteration entry (empirically, not from the spec sketch):
- all four named re-derivers grep-clean in codegen: synth_with_extras,
synth_arg_type, type_home_module, the second infer_module_with_cross;
- lower_workspace takes &MirWorkspace (codegen consumes MIR);
- MTerm::New is unreachable!() — raw-buf.4 desugars Term::New to
(app T.new …) before codegen, so there is no element-type
re-derivation left to relocate;
- #51 / #53 (the element-type / new-T codegen crashes) are closed;

feat(codegen): StrRep loop-carried Str ⇒ Heap, close the #49 recur leak
mir.4 closes bug #49 (a heap-Str loop binder replaced across `recur`
leaks every superseded slab; the loop result leaks too) structurally,
by making every Str a loop binder holds OR a loop returns an owned heap
slab — then deleting the `!is_str` carve-out from BOTH codegen gates
that carried it. The leg-by-leg `!is_str` patches are gone.
Mechanism (the milestone thesis: representation in MIR, codegen reads
it). lower_to_mir sets rep = StrRep::Heap on every Str literal in a
loop-carried position; codegen's MTerm::Str arm promotes a Heap literal
via ailang_str_clone (a fresh ailang_rc_alloc slab, rc_header refcount
1). Three promotion positions, all in the Loop/Recur lowering:
1. binder seed inits (is_str_ty on the binder type);
2. recur args at Str-binder positions (read off the innermost
loop_stack frame);
3. exit-arm tail result literals (promote_tail_str_literals walks the
loop body's tail positions when the loop returns Str).
With every loop-carried Str now owned-heap, both gates lose !is_str:
the recur superseded-value dec (lib.rs) frees each intermediate slab;
the loop-result trackability gate (drop.rs:493) lets the caller's
scope-close free the final slab.
Why both gates, and the planning-time error this corrects. The original
plan/spec scoped the deletion to the recur dec gate only, reasoning the
#49 loop result is "consumed by print". The implement-orchestrator
landed that scope (Tasks 1-2) clean and correctly BLOCKED: it took #49
from live=3 to live=1, the residual being the loop RESULT. I verified
the diagnosis empirically:
- print BORROWS its arg (prelude: `(let s (show x) (do io/print_str
s))`, the eob.1 heap-Str discipline), so `(print s)` does not free
the loop result; the caller's let-binder does, via drop.rs:493.
"consumed by print" != "freed by print" — that was the error.
- Deleting drop.rs:493's !is_str takes #49 and the recur-literal
fixture to live=0.
- Deleting drop.rs:493 WITHOUT exit-arm promotion SIGSEGVs (exit 139)
on a loop returning a static Str literal — hence the third
promotion position and the static-exit witness.
The agent surfaced a real spec defect via an empirical BLOCK rather
than guessing; I corrected the spec refinement note (both gates, three
positions) and completed the loop-result leg inline, the context
already loaded from verifying the BLOCK (CLAUDE.md "already loaded
context" carve-out). drop.rs:493's Str carve-out is now sound to delete.
Boundary (asserted ill-typed, not constructible): a borrowed static-Str
Var seeded/recur'd into a consumed Str loop binder — rejected upstream
by uniqueness (a consumed binder position is owned).
Verification (orchestrator-run): all four leak fixtures reach live=0
under AILANG_RC_STATS — #49 (xyyy), recur-literal (reset), static-exit
(result), and the

plan(mir.4): StrRep loop-carried Str ⇒ Heap, delete the recur !is_str gate
mir.4 closes bug #49 (a heap-Str loop binder replaced across `recur` leaks every superseded str_concat slab, live=3) structurally rather than with a fourth leg-by-leg patch. Design calls made in planning (folded into the spec as the mir.4 refinement note): - Mechanism: producer-side representation, codegen reads it — the milestone thesis. lower_to_mir sets rep = StrRep::Heap on every MTerm::Str literal that flows into a Str loop-binder alloca (seed inits AND recur args at Str-binder positions); codegen's MTerm::Str arm gains a Heap leg that promotes the static literal via ailang_str_clone (fresh ailang_rc_alloc slab, rc_header refcount 1). No special-casing in the codegen Loop/Recur store arms — the clone is emitted automatically when the Str{Heap} node is lowered. - Recur args are promoted too, not just seeds: `(recur "reset" …)` is well-typed (verified: `ail check` accepts it), and a seed-only promotion would leave a static literal under the now-unconditional dec — a constructible UB hole. Soundness over minimalism on the highest-risk RC/drop surface. - Only the recur dec gate (lib.rs:2231) loses !is_str. The drop.rs loop-RESULT trackability gate (drop.rs:493) STAYS conservative: deleting it needs a broader "every Str a loop can return is owned-heap" guarantee (a static exit-arm literal breaks it) and is not required by the #49 acceptance (the #49 loop result is consumed by print). drop.rs is untouched. - Boundary (out of scope, asserted ill-typed): a borrowed static-Str Var seeded/recur'd into a consumed Str loop binder is rejected upstream by uniqueness (a consumed binder position is owned), so it is not constructible. Plan 0119 carries exact code per step: producer rep promotion + a loop-frame-driven Str-binder mask for recur args (reusing the existing ctx.loop_stack, no new ctx field), the codegen Heap leg, the gate deletion, the #[ignore] lift on the #49 pin, a recur-literal witness fixture + runtime pin proving the recur-arg leg, and the full-suite + ir_snapshot verification. The existing lower_to_mir_ty Static-seed pin flips to assert Heap. |

feat(codegen): fill MArg.mode for App args, read the anon-temp drop gate off it, delete module_def_ail_types (mir.3b)
Second of two iterations delivering spec 0060's mir.3 row (plan docs/plans/0118-mir.3b-marg-mode-and-table-delete.md). lower_to_mir's Term::App arm fills each MArg.mode from the resolved callee's param_modes (the sig = synth_pure(callee) it already holds); codegen's emit_call anon-temp borrow-slot drop gate reads arg.mode instead of re-looking-up the callee's param_modes from the module_def_ail_types table; and — since that gate was the table's only reader — the module_def_ail_types field plus all its construction and threading are deleted. Two refinements to the spec's mir.3b sketch, settled in planning from a focused recon and recorded in spec 0060: 1. module_def_ail_types is deleted in mir.3b, not mir.5. A grep proved self.module_def_ail_types had exactly ONE reader (the anon-temp gate); the own-param drop reads param_modes from the def's own f.ty, not this table. Once the gate moves onto MArg.mode the table is dead, so it is removed now rather than carried as dead code to mir.5. The mir.5 row's "last re-derivation residue" shrinks to the element-type / Term::New (New.elem) work. 2. MArg.mode is filled for App args only; MTerm::Let.mode is not filled. Only App args have a real per-arg mode source (the callee Type::Fn.param_modes). Do args (EffectOpSig has no param modes), Ctor args (no per-field mode), and Recur args (loop binders carry no mode) stay Mode::Owned. Let.mode has no source (ast::Term::Let has no mode field) and no consumer (the let-drop gate reads consume, not Let.mode), so it stays Owned — filling it would invent a value nobody reads. Safety property held: MArg.mode is filled from the same callee fn-type the gate read from the table, so the drop fires identically. For (app RawBuf.get (app RawBuf.set …) 0), RawBuf.get's param 0 is borrow, so args[0].mode = Borrow — exactly the value module_def_ail_types yielded. Confirmed by the anon-temp witness staying green. ParamMode -> Mode conversion: Borrow -> Mode::Borrow; Own and Implicit (the Implicit ≡ Own contract) -> Mode::Owned. The own-param drop keeps reading ParamMode off f.ty (Type/ParamMode imports retained, live readers at lib.rs:1356/1507). Also retires three now-stale doc comments that named the deleted module_def_ail_types field (ailang-check/src/lib.rs, uniqueness.rs, and the codegen_import_map_fallback_pin test doc) — a direct consequence of the deletion, reworded to the current architecture. Verification (orchestrator, post-implement inspect): diff matches the plan (App-arg m_args built before m_callee consumes sig — the benign borrow-order deviation the plan's note flagged); module_def_ail_types grep-clean across all of crates/; cargo build --workspace clean (no unused/dead_code); cargo test --workspace 702 passed / 0 failed / 3 ignored (+1 = the new producer pin app_arg_carries_callee_borrow_mode; no #[ignore] added). The anon-temp drop-correctness witness raw_buf_owned_drop_balances_rc_stats stays live=0, now driven by MArg.mode; the other RC-stats leak pins green; #49 stays #[ignore] (mir.4); #51/#53 build guards green. mir.3 is now complete (3a relocated consume_count + deleted the second uniqueness run; 3b filled the mode annotation + deleted module_def_ail_types). Remaining: mir.4 (#49 StrRep RED->GREEN), mir.5 (element-type/Term::New + ledger). |

feat(codegen): relocate per-binder consume_count into MIR; delete codegen's second uniqueness run (mir.3a)
First of two iterations delivering spec 0060's mir.3 row (plan docs/plans/0117-mir.3a-consume-count-relocation.md). The per-binder consume_count — the only thing codegen read from its second infer_module_with_cross run — now lives on a new binder-keyed MirDef.consume: BTreeMap<String,u32>, filled once by lower_to_mir on the post-mono body. Codegen builds its existing (def,binder)->consume_count lookup from those maps and the three scope-close drop sites (own-param, let-binder, match-arm) read it; the codegen uniqueness run, its UniquenessTable field, and the import are deleted. mir.3 is split into two iterations (recorded in spec 0060): the named deletion depends ONLY on consume_count. All three drop sites read consume_count from self.uniqueness, while the modes they also gate on (param_modes for the own-param dec, scrutinee_is_owned for the match dec) come from the type, not the uniqueness pass (UniquenessInfo carries no mode). So mir.3a relocates consume_count and ships the deletion; mir.3b (next) fills MArg.mode/MTerm::Let.mode and switches emit_call's anon-temp gate onto MArg.mode. The split halves the change at the codebase's highest-risk surface (RC/drop correctness, the raw-buf leak saga) and makes each half independently verifiable against the live=0 leak pins. Design: consume_count lands on MirDef (binder-keyed), NOT on MArg. The drop sites key by (def, binder_name) — a per-binder aggregate — while the spec-sketched MArg.consume_count is per-arg-position and never reaches them; the per-def map matches the UniquenessTable's own keying and all three binder kinds (param/let/pattern) uniformly. MArg.consume_count stays a mir.1 default. Source = run check's infer_module_with_cross inside lower_to_mir post-mono (the synth_pure single-engine-re-walked pattern); retaining a check-time result is blocked (check's uniqueness is pre-mono and runs on-demand-from-codegen, never in check_workspace, so it would miss the mono specialisations). cross_module_types (= codegen's module_def_ail_types) is rebuilt in elaborate_workspace from the post-mono workspace. Safety property held: this is a PURE RELOCATION of an identical computation — infer_module_with_cross ran on the post-mono module in codegen and now runs on the same post-mono module in lower_to_mir, so drop placement is byte-identical. cross_module_types matches module_def_ail_types exactly (both insert f.name->f.ty over post-mono Def::Fn), confirmed by the leak pins staying green. Verification (orchestrator, post-implement inspect): diff matches the plan; codegen grep-clean for infer_module_with_cross + UniquenessTable (now ailang-check-internal); cargo build --workspace clean (no errors, no unused warnings — module_def_ail_types survives for emit_call's anon-temp param_modes gate); cargo test --workspace 701 passed / 0 failed / 3 ignored (+1 = the new producer pin mirdef_consume_is_populated_for_let_binder; no #[ignore] added). The live=0 drop-correctness witnesses all green: alloc_rc_loop_valued_rawbuf_binder_drops_at_scope_close (#43/#47), alloc_rc_heap_loop_binder_replaced_by_recur_does_not_leak, alloc_rc_print_int_does_not_leak_show_result_str. #49 stays #[ignore] (mir.4); #51/#53 build guards green. |

feat(codegen): pre-resolve the App callee in MIR; delete is_static_callee + type_home_module (mir.2)
Second re-deriver removal of the typed-MIR milestone (spec
docs/specs/0060-typed-mir.md, plan docs/plans/0116-mir.2-callee-static.md).
Static-callee resolution moves out of codegen and into lower_to_mir:
every Term::App callee is classified once, mirroring check's own synth
Term::Var ladder (lib.rs:3409-3582), and emitted as a resolved Callee.
Codegen reads the callee identity off MIR and routes each kind to the
right lowering. The codegen re-derivers is_static_callee and
type_home_module are deleted, and the lower_app <-> is_static_callee
lockstep pair is struck from CLAUDE.md.
Callee reshape (beyond the spec's original {module, fn_name} sketch —
spec 0060's Concrete-code-shapes block is updated in this iteration):
pub enum Callee {
Static { module, fn_name, sig: Type }, // user/prelude fn -> emit_call, module pre-resolved
Builtin { name, sig: Type }, // operator/intrinsic -> inline opcode lowering
Indirect(Box<MTerm>), // dynamic: fn-pointer / closure / shadowed name
}
Two forced refinements, both settled in planning:
- sig:Type on each resolved variant. drop::synth_callee_ret_mode reads
the callee ret_mode, today off Callee::Indirect(inner).ty(). A
resolved callee has no sub-term, so the sig (= synth_pure(callee),
mode-preserving) is the lossless replacement. This is NOT a mir.3
pull-forward: the MArg param-mode / consume_count fields stay at their
mir.1 defaults. Without it, every statically-resolved call would lose
its drop signal and the RawBuf / int_to_str RC-stats pins mir.1b fixed
would regress.
- Builtin variant. Operators and the str-num builtins (+, not,
str_concat, ...) are lowered inline by name and have no module/fn_name;
a separate variant is cleaner than a sentinel module. The classifier
decides Builtin vs Static from CHECK'S OWN resolution (a name in
env.globals with no owning module is a builtin), never a copy of
codegen's old is_static_callee allowlist. The recon's divergence audit
confirmed check's builtin set and codegen's inline-arm set match
exactly, so the single-engine rule is mechanically satisfiable with no
env threading gap.
type_home_module is fully deletable: a workspace-wide grep confirmed no
program references a type-scoped T.fn as a value, so its only other
consumer (resolve_top_level_fn) collapses to the module-name fallback
with no behaviour change. (The spec's "x3 mirrors" wording over-counted;
the live surface was the definition plus two call sites.)
Alternatives rejected during planning: sentinel module in Static
(ugly); builtins left as Indirect (breaks — no fn-pointer for an
operator); name-rewrite Static{name,sig} keeping lower_app's by-name
dispatch (blurs builtin/user and still needs sig). The mir.1b
re-synth-strictness trap (post-mono synth_pure re-unify surfacing
mode-strip / bare-vs-qualified / metavar leaks) did NOT fire under the
new producer path — qualify_local_types mode-preservation and the $u
wildcard normalisation from mir.1b held.
Verification (orchestrator, post-implement inspect): diff matches the
plan; grep-clean for is_static_callee + type_home_module across
ailang-codegen and ail; cargo build --workspace green; cargo test
--workspace 700 passed / 0 failed / 3 ignored (no #[ignore] added this
iteration — the 3 are the pre-existing #49 Str-leg pin + two doctests).
Acceptance witnesses green: #53 (mono_new_over_user_adt_builds_and_runs),
#51 (rawbuf_new_int_size_only_builds_and_runs still builds), show_print
cross-module (print_user_adt_runs_end_to_end), the new mir.2 pins
(mir2_resolved_callee_kinds_run_end_to_end, callee_classification_*,
strengthened new_over_user_adt_carries_node_types asserting Callee::Static).
#49 heap-Str loop binder stays #[ignore] (lifts at mir.4).
Two new examples/ fixtures back the new pins (classify_pin.ail for the
producer classification pin, mir2_callee_kinds.ail for the E2E),
ail-parse / round-trip clean.
Forward note (cycle-close architect): crates/ail/tests/codegen_import_map_fallback_pin.rs:14-15
doc prose names lower_app's cross-module arm and synth_with_extras as
failure-mode targets — both now deleted (mir.2 / mir.1b). The pin's
protected invariant is still valid and green; the prose is stale and
wants a doc-honesty reword, left out of this iteration's footprint.

spec: typed-mir — place lower_to_mir post-mono, correct one-engine framing
plan-recon flagged that monomorphise_workspace runs between check and codegen, and codegen lowers the post-mono workspace. The first draft of this spec placed lower_to_mir as the final phase of check_workspace (pre-mono) and claimed "nothing re-walks the AST". That is wrong on both counts: - Built pre-mono, MIR would not carry the monomorphic specialisations monomorphise_workspace appends — exactly the post-mono bodies codegen emits today — reintroducing the check↔codegen gap this milestone exists to close. - synth is a pure `&Term → Type` function and the authoring AST carries no node-ids, so MIR cannot be a side-table read off a check pass; it is built inline by a walk. The honest property is therefore not "no second walk" but "no second *engine*": codegen's synth_with_extras is a hand-copied mirror of synth that drifts (every raw-buf bug is a drift point). The milestone replaces the mirror with a single post-mono call to canonical synth, materialised as MIR. Corrections: architecture diagram and data flow now run check → lift → monomorphise → lower_to_mir; lower_to_mir is wrapped by a new front-end entry elaborate_workspace that subsumes the lift+mono orchestration the CLI does today; check_workspace stays for the diagnostics-only path (`ail check`). Node count fixed 27 → 17 Term variants (ast.rs:436). Re-dispatched grounding-check after the edit (post-PASS edit invalidates the prior report) — PASS, all load-bearing post-mono assumptions ratified against live code (main.rs build order, mono.rs synth use, 17-variant Term, no node-ids). |

spec: typed-mir check→codegen boundary contract
Open a new milestone introducing a typed mid-level IR (`ailang-mir`) as the single artefact crossing the check → codegen boundary, so codegen re-derives nothing. Root cause (architect drift review): the boundary today carries no typed artefact. `crates/ail/src/main.rs:2293` calls `check_workspace`, discards the result, and hands `lower_workspace` the raw `Workspace`. `CheckedModule` (ailang-check/src/lib.rs:1283) carries only top-level (Type, hash). Codegen therefore re-runs four independent derivations of what check already proved — type synthesis (`synth_with_extras`), callee resolution (`type_home_module` ×3 + `is_static_callee`), uniqueness/mode (`infer_module_with_cross`, second run), and Str representation (`!is_str` recur gate). Every raw-buf bug (#43/#46/#47/#49/#51/#53, all "check-clean, build-divergent") is a point where one of those re-derivations disagreed with check and got patched one leg at a time. Honest framing: this is removal of a re-derivation architecture, not a RED→GREEN of crashing programs. #51 and #53 build today (patched by |

fieldtest: raw-buf comprehensive — 4 examples, 8 findings (refs #7)
Comprehensive usability re-test of the RawBuf kernel extension in natural LLM-author decompositions the prior field test (0058) did not exercise: a Float RawBuf in a user ADT read through two borrow helpers, a Bool flag buffer filled with a computed value, an Int fib buffer whose fill reads its own writes plus two composed borrow summaries, and a forbidden core-primitive element. All three working fixtures build, run to expected values, and report live=0 across Float/Bool/Int widths — the core RawBuf surface (borrow-helper composition, fill loops, RawBuf-in-ADT, element widths) genuinely holds together. Orchestrator triage corrected the fieldtester's run, which executed a stale target/release/ail (built before the #50 fix). Every outcome was re-verified against a fresh build: - F2 (bare RawBuf ADT field unresolved) — RETRACTED: a stale-binary false positive. On a fresh build the bare name resolves in every configuration (ctor name == or != type name; builds/runs live=0). The #50 fix is correct and general. - F7 (NEW, issue #51) — a `check`-clean program crashes `build`: a buffer whose element type is never observed by a later get/set defaults its element to Unit in monomorphisation and hits an unregistered `RawBuf_new__Unit` intercept. Affects a legitimate `RawBuf<Int>` used only for its size AND a forbidden locally- constructed element. Root: the `(new T ...)` desugar drops the explicit element annotation; honouring it reverses the milestone's § Term::New desugar decision, so it routes through brainstorm. - F8 (process) — the field test ran stale; the fieldtester agent now builds from the current tree before running (plugin fix). F1 (spec_gap) resolved here: the design ledger's §Series substrate ctor wrote the storage field `(own (RawBuf a))`, which does not parse (`own` is fn-param/ret only). Rewritten to the verified-authorable `(con RawBuf a)`. The rest of the §Series listing is illustrative and its element- less `(new RawBuf lookback)` construction is entangled with #51; a full compile-verification of that listing belongs with the Series-substrate work. F5 (param-in rejects a forbidden core primitive, message names the set) and F4/F3 (borrow composition; substrate composite) carry on.

fieldtest: raw-buf — 4 examples, 6 findings (refs #7)
Downstream field test of the raw-buf surface as a consumer with only the public interface (design ledger + `ail` CLI; no crate source). Four fixtures under examples/fieldtest/, spec at docs/specs/0058-fieldtest-raw-buf.md. Every recorded outcome reproduced independently before commit. Findings (3 bug, 1 spec_gap, 2 working): - B1 [bug] `borrow (RawBuf a)` receiver is unusable. A fn taking `borrow (RawBuf Int)` that calls RawBuf.get/.size on the parameter even once is rejected `consume-while-borrowed` — the diagnostic names the wrong cause (the receiver is not consumed). The ledger advertises get/size as borrow-receiver ops, so the documented use is unreachable from any helper-function decomposition. This blocks Series (#8) — the milestone's own downstream raison d'être — whose at/total_count read through a `borrow (Series a)`. - B2 [bug] An owned RawBuf threaded through a `loop` binder passes check but panics codegen `unknown variable: b` at build. A plain Int loop binder builds fine, so the fault is specific to an owned RawBuf loop binder. Breaks the check↔codegen agreement. - B3 [bug] `param-not-in-restricted-set` omits the allowed set. design/models/0007 §4 promises the diagnostic "names the offending type and the allowed set"; the shipped message names the type, the type-var, and the home type but not `{Int, Float, Bool}`. A downstream author is told what is wrong but not what is right. - B4 [spec_gap] RawBuf.set receiver double-consume is not enforced; two set calls on the same owned buffer silently alias the slab. Not raw-buf-specific (owned Str/ADT behave identically) — a pre-existing linearity-non-enforcement property. Recorded because RawBuf's own→own mutation is the first place a silent alias yields a mutated-in-place surprise. Ratify in the ledger or open a backlog item for full linear enforcement. - W1 [working] `(new …)` sugar + inference-from-use across Int/Float/Bool builds and runs first try (sensor_pair prints 5.0); the Bool i1/i8 packing edge round-trips. The milestone's cleanest win. - W2 [working] param-in reject fires for both Str and a user TypeDef. Net: B1+B2 mean the only RawBuf programs that build today are straight-line owned let-threading with literal indices — the shipped-fixture shape. Helper decomposition (B1) and runtime-length loop fill (B2) both fail. fieldtest does not self-resolve; routing is the orchestrator's call. |

spec: reserve $ in the Form-A lexer (refs #44)
#44 asks to enforce-or-retract the `$`-in-authored-binder-names reservation that `fresh_binder` (ailang-core::desugar) relies on for collision-free shadow-rename mints. This spec chooses enforcement, and places it in the Form-A lexer rather than the check layer. The placement is the load-bearing design decision. An earlier draft put the reject in `pre_desugar_validation` (check layer), justified by "a client could construct `.ail.json` directly, bypassing the lexer". The user corrected the threat model: the client LLM author is forbidden from emitting canonical `.ail.json` — it writes Form A exclusively, and only the orchestrator hand-authors JSON in rare exceptions. So the entire hallucinating-client attack surface is Form-A source, which always flows through `tokenize`. That collapses the design: - `$` is a reserved character (like `(`/`)`) with no legitimate authored use in any position — verified: zero authored `$` idents exist in the checked-in `.ail` corpus; the six `$` occurrences are all in comments. No positional split, so no AST-aware walker is needed — unlike `.`/`/`, which DO have legitimate uses (`std_list.map`) and therefore live in the check layer (`InvalidDefName`). The issue's premise "lex.rs reserves only `.`" is false on two counts and is corrected in the spec. - The reject is a single new `LexError::ReservedDollar`, raised inline in the `tokenize` run-classification arm, surfaced through the existing `ParseError::Lex` -> `W::SurfaceParse` -> `surface-parse-error` channel. No new `CheckError`, no AST walker, no multi-entry-point wiring (the check layer has four entry points, only two of which currently run the pre-desugar pass — a trap the lexer placement sidesteps entirely). Documented non-goals (honesty rule): the `.ail.json` deserialization path stays unguarded (the orchestrator's self-responsible channel, scoped out by the user); the `fresh_binder` probe-body simplification (issue Q4) is not bundled — only its now-false doc-comment is corrected. grounding-check PASS on the final bytes: all six load-bearing assumptions ratified by green tests; all three Form-A example blocks parse-gate clean (exit 0 today, by design — the reject is new behaviour). String- and comment-internal `$` stay legal by scan order; no must-fail `$` fixture goes under examples/ (the round-trip test parses every fixture there). |

spec: unique binder names per fn — A2b leg of RawBuf drop-leak (refs #43)
The last open leg of the #43 owned-heap drop-leak cluster is the
UniquenessTable shadow-name collapse: the side-table keys by
(def_name, binder_name), so a fn that shadows a binder name collapses
every shadow onto one key. The outermost binding (records last, on pop)
overwrites the inner ones; codegen's scope-close drop gates then read
the collapsed consume_count for the innermost binding and suppress its
drop, leaking the owned slab.
Spec 0056 resolves this as a compiler-internal naming collision — NOT
the deeper, separate problem of persistent AST provenance back to the
authored form (certain to be needed eventually, deliberately deferred;
conflating the two is a category error). Fix: alpha-rename shadowing
binders during desugar (reusing the existing fresh-name machinery that
already mints $mp_N / $lr_N), making the (def, name) key injective
again. No consumer of the uniqueness table changes — they all key by
name, and the name becomes a per-fn injective identity. IR-neutral:
codegen names heap by fresh SSA, never by source binder name. The
pre-desugar hashed form is untouched, so module identity and hash-pin
tests are unaffected.
RED fixtures securing the binder-kind class (the user's gating
condition before proceeding to the uniform-across-kinds fix):

spec: raw-buf — re-carve drop ratification to raw-buf.5, retirement to .6 (refs #7)
raw-buf.4 (RawBuf payload + Term::New desugar) implemented and about to
land, but it surfaced that the drop ratification was mis-scoped: the
flat drop FUNCTION is emittable in .4, but the drop CALL needs a codegen
resolution mechanism the .4 plan did not scope. An owned RawBuf binder's
value is a cross-module type-scoped intrinsic call ((app RawBuf.set ..) :
own (RawBuf a)); codegen's is_rc_heap_allocated only marks an App binder
drop-trackable when synth_callee_ret_mode resolves the callee's Own mode,
but codegen synth_arg_type has no TypeDef-first / cross-module-mono
resolution ladder (unlike the checker's lib.rs:3465), so the binder is
non-trackable and no drop call is inserted. A second site
(uniqueness::infer_module's per-module globals) misses the cross-module
borrow mode too.
Re-carve (six iterations; .1-.4 done, .5/.6 remain):
raw-buf.4 — RawBuf payload + Term::New desugar + flat drop FUNCTION
(DONE). Worked program prints 60; Float/Bool/reject ship.
raw-buf.5 — owned cross-module type-scoped drop-call resolution: a
TypeDef-first + cross-module-mono arm in codegen
synth_arg_type feeding is_rc_heap_allocated /
synth_callee_ret_mode / drop_symbol_for_binder, plus
cross-module op visibility in uniqueness::infer_module.
Ratified by raw_buf_no_leak (live == 0).
raw-buf.6 — kernel_stub retirement (was .5).
Also documents the raw-buf.4 diagnostic-behaviour change: because the
Term::New desugar now runs before check, (new T ..) with a missing
new-op surfaces type-scoped-member-not-found (more precise) rather than
the prep.2 new-type-not-constructible it supersedes; new-arg-kind-mismatch
is obsoleted (the desugar drops the type-arg). Same rejection conditions,
preserved. And corrects the @ailang_rc_release spec slip to the real
symbol @ailang_rc_dec.
The drop-call resolution is its own iteration for the same reason
raw-buf.3 became a mechanism prep: it is a codegen-resolution mechanism
(parity with the checker's type-scoped/cross-module ladder), separable
from the RawBuf payload, and isolating it keeps the resolution change
off the .4 payload diff.

spec: raw-buf — re-carve .3/.4/.5, type-scoped polymorphic intrinsic prep (refs #7)
Second re-carve. Planning raw-buf.3 (via plan-recon) surfaced that
RawBuf's ops are a THIRD intrinsic shape the intrinsic-bodies mechanism
never handled: type-scoped polymorphic top-level intrinsics (forall a,
param-in {Int,Float,Bool}, called as RawBuf.get). The existing bijection
+ symbol story covers only monomorphic top-level intrinsics (answer,
float_*) and per-type class-method instances (eq__Int).
The gap (both confirmed in source by recon + grounding-check):
- mono_symbol_n mints <base>__<T> from the bare fn name, so RawBuf.get
@ Int → get__Int — the RawBuf scope never enters the symbol;
new/get/set/size @ Int would collide with any other poly free fn of
those (very common) names.
- the bijection collector's Def::Fn arm records the bare name "get" as
one marker, matching neither the per-type entries nor their symbols;
one polymorphic marker must map to N per-element entries, which the
1-marker-to-1-entry bijection cannot express.
So raw-buf.3 is no longer "add 12 table rows" — it is a new language
mechanism. Re-carve (3 remaining iterations):
raw-buf.3 — type-scoped polymorphic intrinsic mechanism: scope-
qualified mono symbols (RawBuf_get__Int) + bijection-
collector expansion over param-in. Built and ratified
standalone on the stub (a StubT.peek op + its 2 scoped
entries + mono/bijection unit tests), the prep pattern
prep.1/.2/.3 used. No RawBuf, no Term::New dependency.
raw-buf.4 — RawBuf payload (module + 12 scoped entries + drop) +
Term::New desugar ((new RawBuf ...) sugar, removes both
deferral arms). Pure consumer of .3. Worked program → 60.
raw-buf.5 — kernel_stub retirement (peek + answer + stub leave;
RawBuf carries all roles).
Decided design (Option A): scope-qualified symbols, not bare. Rationale
is semantic — the type-scoped call convention RawBuf.get should carry
through to a collision-free, IR-legible symbol; bare get__Int is a
latent collision landmine on the most-reused op names. Removing that
collision class is itself feature-acceptance criterion-3 evidence.
The raw_buf module Form-A in § Concrete code shapes is gate-verified
(ail check → ok, 35 symbols / 3 modules). Grounding-check PASS: all 10
current-behaviour assumptions ratified by named green tests; the

spec: raw-buf — 3-iter base-extension milestone (refs #7)
First new milestone after kernel-extension-mechanics close.
RawBuf is the canonical kernel-tier *base* extension: mutable,
indexed, bounded-size flat buffer of primitive elements
({Int, Float, Bool}, restricted via prep.3's param-in). It
unblocks two downstream needs already in the backlog:
- series milestone #8 — library-tier ring buffer wrapping RawBuf.
- Embedding-ABI batch-FFI (subsumes closed #2) — the M5
friction-harvest measured per-tick FFI at ~206 ns/tick on
real EURUSD volume; RawBuf is the contiguous-slice primitive
that amortises that per-tick cost.
The milestone also fulfils the whitepaper § "Plugin contract"
commitment: the migration of the hardcoded
try_emit_primitive_instance_body into a registry is triggered
by the first real base extension shipping.
Decomposition (R — registry-first refactor, 3 iters):
raw-buf.1 — Intercept registry refactor. Lift the existing
hard-coded match (eq__Str, compare__Int|Bool|Str, float_*) into
a registry table. Zero behavioural change; ratified by the
existing E2E suite (eq_primitives_smoke / compare_primitives_smoke
in e2e.rs, float_compare_smoke, eq_ord_polymorphic). Pure
refactor — the cleanest possible bisection target.
raw-buf.2 — RawBuf kernel-tier manifest + checker side. Rename
crates/ailang-kernel-stub/ → crates/ailang-kernel/ and reshape
as a family-crate (src/{kernel_stub,raw_buf}/{mod.rs,source.ail});
public surface preserved via re-exports. Consumer code with
(con RawBuf (con Int)) passes ail check; ail build fails with
intercept-not-registered — that diagnostic IS the ratification.
raw-buf.3 — RawBuf codegen intercepts + Term::New desugar +
stub retirement. Register 12 element-type-specialised entries
(4 ops × {Int,Float,Bool}); lower via @ailang_rc_alloc +
getelementptr + load/store. Desugar (new T args) →
(app T.new args) so Term::New is eliminated before codegen
(completes the prep.2 deferral). Retire the kernel_stub
submodule + the round-trip test at design_schema_drift.rs:743;
ailang-kernel crate stays as the family-crate for future
series/matrix/… modules.
Ordering rationale: raw-buf.1 ships zero behavioural change so
its failure mode is "existing tests break" — cleanest bisection.
raw-buf.2 ships the checker-visible surface on an unchanged
codegen substrate, so its failure mode is checker-isolated.
raw-buf.3 lands codegen on a registry that has already absorbed
every legacy intercept, so the RawBuf entries do not co-mingle
with a registry move.
Kernel-tier crate organisation: rejected pro-modul-crate
(crates/ailang-series/, crates/ailang-matrix/, ...) for sublinear
scaling and onboarding locality; rejected sub-Cargo-crates under
crates/ailang-kernel/ (C1) for Cargo-boilerplate overhead with no
real consumer benefit at AILang's scale. C2 (one family-crate,
sub-folders per module, lib.rs re-exports) keeps Cargo dep
surface flat (ailang-surface needs one dep, not N) and stub
retirement is a submodule delete + re-export drop.
Out of scope: bounds checks (caller checks via RawBuf.size per
whitepaper — UB-on-overflow is the contract), RawBuf.fill /
.copy / .iter (deferred until series or Embedding-ABI concretely
asks), record element types (SoA — Forward Axis).
Grounding-check PASS on 10 load-bearing assumptions about
current code state (intercept dispatch site, existing E2E
ratifiers, ailang-kernel-stub crate layout, parse_kernel_stub
location).
Brainstorm → planner handoff: first iteration scope is raw-buf.1

Fieldtester wrote 6 .ail consumer programs against the public interface only (design ledger + spec + ail CLI; no source crate reads), one per axis with two for the param-in pair (accept + reject). All artefacts in examples/fieldtest/ + the spec. **Working (4):** F5 NewTypeNotConstructible diagnostic is precise (names the home module + missing def in one sentence). F6 Term::New codegen-deferral diagnostic explicitly names the raw-buf milestone where support lands. F7 param-in accept-path is end-to-end (check + build + run prints 17). F8 ParamNotInRestrictedSet names type-arg + var + TypeDef. **Bugs (3, action: debug):** - F1 (axis 1) — Same-module type-scoped call `(app Type.member …)` rejected with phantom-qualified `expected <this>.T, got T`. Bare `(app member …)` from inside Type's home module works. Spec's "Canonical form decision" promises type-scoped works uniformly; the resolver appears to disagree with the workspace pre-pass on whether `<this-module>.T` equals bare `T`. Repro: examples/fieldtest/kem_2b_min_repro.ail. - F3 (axis 3) — Kernel-tier auto-import scopes the name but does not register the module as a resolvable qualifier prefix. Per the pre-pass, a bare `StubT` in a type slot is qualified to `kernel_stub.StubT`; the resolver then rejects `kernel_stub` as unknown. Asymmetric: prelude's free fns work (per prelude_free_fns.rs), but the stub's TypeDef is effectively unreachable from any consumer. Repro: examples/fieldtest/kem_3_stub_consumer.ail. - F4 (axis 3, spec/ship coherence) — The spec's prep.3 worked- consumer relies on `(new StubT 42)`, but the shipped STUB_AIL has only a TypeDef + ctor — the `(fn new ...)` the spec designed is missing from the implementation. The diagnostic the resolver does emit on the consumer (F5) is precise; the bug is the absent def itself. Resolution: re-add the `new` to STUB_AIL (the spec's design), refresh the drift pin. **Friction (1, action: plan-or-defer):** - F2 — Loader's sibling-only module resolution forces symlinks for any cross-module fixture sitting outside the canonical `examples/` directory. The kem_1 example required local symlinks for std_list.ail + std_maybe.ail. Secondary: the diagnostic message names only the .ail.json path even though .ail also resolves — actively misleading. Recommended: small tidy iter for loader workspace-search-path + diagnostic clarity. **Spec-gap (1, action: ratify):** - F9 — `design/models/0007-kernel-extensions.md:80` uses `unit` as a value literal of type Unit; the checker treats it as a Term::Var lookup and emits [unbound-var]. Either ratify `unit` as the canonical Unit-value literal in the language, or tighten the design model to use the existing idiom. The current model/ surface disagreement is a small but real LLM-author trap. **Symlinks committed** as evidence of the F2 workaround: examples/fieldtest/std_list.ail and std_maybe.ail are symlinks into ../. They are the fingerprint of the friction — removing them silently would erase the evidence. Per Iron Law, fieldtester did not work around bugs — they were all surfaced and recorded. The kem_2b_min_repro.ail fixture exists specifically because F1 surfaced mid-drafting and got minimised; kem_3_stub_consumer.ail also stays as the F3 RED-side fixture. Triage (next-step routing for /boss): F4 → small inline fix (add (fn new ...) to STUB_AIL + drift refresh) F9 → small inline ratify (whitepaper edit) F2 → backlog issue, deferred (single tidy iter someday) F1, F3 → debug skill dispatches, then implement mini-mode F5-F8 → carry-on, recorded as wins |

iter prep.1-type-scoped-namespacing (DONE 5/5): TypeDef-first resolution + workspace pre-pass — closes #31
First iteration of the kernel-extension-mechanics milestone. Ships
the type-scoped `<TypeName>.<member>` resolution path as the
canonical form for type-associated operations, narrows the
`BareCrossModuleTypeRef` / `BadCrossModuleTypeRef` diagnostics from
"bare = strictly local" to "bare = in-scope by any path", migrates
12 std-library example fixtures, and introduces a workspace-wide
normalisation pre-pass `prepare_workspace_for_check` shared between
`check_workspace` and `monomorphise_workspace`.
Architectural discovery during implementation: the plan covered the
`Term::Var` dot-qualified resolver layer plus the workspace
validator's bare-name acceptance, but the migration of bare-form
fixtures exposed five sites where bare vs. qualified type-names
needed symmetric treatment — `Term::Ctor` resolution, `Type::Con`
well-formedness, mono's poly-free-fn name/constraint-count
enumeration, codegen's `lookup_ctor_by_type` bare-name path, and
the upstream desugar-then-qualify composition. Rather than
scattering TypeDef-first ladders across each site, the implementer
centralised the work into one pre-pass that walks every consumer
module's `Type::Con.name` and `Term::Ctor.type_name`, rewriting
bare cross-module references to their qualified `<home>.<Type>`
form. This is symmetric to the pre-existing `qualify_local_types`
(owner-side); the new pre-pass is the consumer-side mirror.
Downstream passes see qualified Types regardless of authoring form.
The TypeDef-first ladder still lives in `synth`'s `Term::Var` arm
because `<TypeName>.<member>` is term-position-only — `Maybe.from_maybe`
is a Var, not a Type expression, and the pre-pass does not rewrite
Var names.
Alternatives considered:
(a) Add TypeDef-first ladder at every resolution site separately
(the plan's implicit assumption). Rejected: O(N) extension
sites, each carrying the same workspace-walking logic; the
pre-pass version is O(1) — one pass, every downstream consumer
benefits.
(b) BLOCKED + spec re-brainstorm. Rejected: the architecture
extension is consistent with prep.1's thesis (bare type-name
resolves to the workspace-wide TypeDef) and forward-compatible
with prep.2 (Term::New.type_name falls under the same rewrite)
and prep.3 (kernel-tier TypeDefs enter the workspace map
automatically). No design regression to bounce back over.
Spec updated to document the realisation mechanism honestly: the
"Realisation mechanism — workspace pre-pass" subsection clarifies
that the resolver-level semantics described in "Implementation
shape" are the user-facing contract, and the actual code path is
the pre-pass.
Verification:
- `cargo test --workspace`: ALL GREEN. 87 e2e + every crate's unit
+ integration tests pass with no regressions.
- Three NEW in-source tests pin Task 1's resolver paths:
`type_scoped_member_resolves`, `type_scoped_member_not_found`,
`type_scoped_receiver_not_a_type`.
- One NEW workspace test pins the narrowed validator:
`ct1_validator_accepts_bare_with_explicit_import`.
- One renamed-and-flipped existing test:
`ct1_validator_rejects_bare_xmod_with_import_candidate` →
`ct1_validator_accepts_bare_xmod_with_import_candidate` (the
bare-with-import path is now ACCEPTED).
- One NEW companion test for the workspace-wide ctor lookup:
`ct2_term_ctor_bare_cross_module_via_workspace_resolves`.
- Two pre-existing tests' assertions updated for the new error
wording: `ct1_check_cli::check_human_mode_emits_actionable_message_to_stderr`
and `crates/ailang-check/tests/workspace.rs::unknown_module_prefix_is_reported`.
- 12 migrated `.ail` fixtures verified via the existing e2e
suite (each fixture is the test runner's target for an existing
`build_and_run` assertion).
- Negative fixture `ct_2_bare_cross_module.ail` semantically
preserved: dropped its `(import std_maybe)` so bare `Maybe` is
out-of-scope under the narrowed rule and still fires
`BareCrossModuleTypeRef`.
Concerns:
- The pre-pass introduces a new architectural layer (consumer-side
qualification) that the spec did not originally anticipate. Spec
amendment in this commit documents the layer. Future iterations
reference `prepare_workspace_for_check` as established
infrastructure.
- `examples/test_ct1_bare_xmod_rejected.ail.json` switched its
offending name from bare `Ordering` (which under the prep.1
semantics may now resolve via implicit prelude) to a still-
unresolvable `Mystery_Type`. The CLI test's intent (assert that
a human-mode `ail check` exits non-zero on a still-RED case) is
preserved.
Milestone status: kernel-extension-mechanics (Gitea #6) advances
1/3 iters. Next: prep.2 (`Term::New` construct) issue #32.

plan: prep.1 type-scoped namespacing — 5-task atomic resolver + 12-fixture migration (refs #31)
The plan covers the first iteration of the kernel-extension-mechanics
milestone: type-scoped `<TypeName>.<member>` resolution in
`ailang-check`, narrowed `BareCrossModuleTypeRef` /
`BadCrossModuleTypeRef` diagnostics in `ailang-core::workspace`,
two new `CheckError` variants, CLI diagnostic-message rewording,
and atomic rewrite of 12 `.ail` example fixtures from `std_X.Y` to
the type-scoped form. Five tasks, each unit-of-review.
Includes a spec correction (same commit because plan recon
surfaced it): the prep.1 Blast Radius previously claimed
`hash_pin.rs` + `prelude_module_hash_pin.rs` refreshes and a
`design_schema_drift.rs` pin addition. Plan-recon walked every
test crate (per the schema-camelcase-fix hash-pin-blast-radius
lesson) and found:
* neither hash-pin file pins any fixture in prep.1's migration
set — refresh is empty;
* type-scoped resolution is a checker-only change (no new JSON
tags, no AST shape change) — the drift pin belongs to prep.2
(`Term::New`) and prep.3 (`kernel: true` + `param-in`), not
prep.1.
Spec section 'Blast radius' and the 'Iteration scope' summary now
reflect the recon-cleared reality.

convention: counter-prefix file naming across docs/specs/, docs/plans/, design/contracts/, design/models/
All 176 files in the four accumulating directories now use a zero-padded 4-digit counter prefix that reflects creation order (`NNNN-slug.md`). The counter is assigned per directory in strict git-log creation order; ties broken alphabetically by original name. The old `YYYY-MM-DD-` prefix on docs/specs/ and docs/plans/ files is dropped — the date is recoverable from git log and the counter carries the ordering. A file's counter is stable for the life of the file: never reassigned, never reused, never compacted. Deleted files retire their counter; subsequent files do not fill the gap. This is the property that lets cross-references stay literal — refs use the full filename including the counter (`design/contracts/0007-honesty-rule.md`) so they grep cleanly and resolve directly without a glob step. 313 cross-references updated across .md/.rs/.toml/.c/.json files (test pins, include_str! paths, design-INDEX entries, baseline notes, runtime C comments, inter-contract markdown links incl. bare basename and `../models/foo.md` forms). CLAUDE.md gets a new "File-naming convention" section spelling out the rule and rationale. skills/brainstorm/SKILL.md and skills/planner/SKILL.md updated so new spec/plan creation produces counter-prefixed names from the start. The full test suite (cargo test --workspace) passes. |

spec: kernel-extension-mechanics — three-iter prep milestone
docs/specs/2026-05-28-kernel-extension-mechanics.md: per-milestone implementation container for the four language-level mechanisms described in design/models/kernel-extensions.md. Three iterations, each independently shippable: - prep.1 — Type-scoped namespacing. Resolver change so `<TypeName>.<member>` resolves to the type's home module. Migrates ~14 std-library example fixtures from `std_X.Y`-style cross-module references to type-scoped form. Hash pins refreshed in lockstep (ailang-core + ailang-surface — full blast-radius walk, per the hash-pin-audit lesson from schema-camelcase-fix). - prep.2 — Term::New. New AST variant and Form-A keyword `(new T args...)`, calls the `new` def in T's home module. Uses prep.1's resolution. - prep.3 — Kernel-tier modules + `param-in`. Schema flag `Module.kernel` + TypeDef `param-in` field. Workspace-load generalises the existing hardcoded prelude auto-injection (loader.rs:98-108 + workspace.rs:308-311, 467, 2655) into a flag-driven mechanism; prelude itself gains `kernel: true` as a code-path migration (consumer-observable behaviour unchanged — prelude_free_fns.rs regression test stays green). A new minimal ailang-kernel-stub crate ratifies the mechanism without domain content. Five new diagnostics across the three iters: TypeScopedMemberNotFound, TypeScopedReceiverNotAType, NewTypeNotConstructible, NewArgKindMismatch, ParamNotInRestrictedSet. BareCrossModuleTypeRef and BadCrossModuleTypeRef diagnostics repositioned (still "type name not resolvable" but with revised remediation pointers). Each iter's spec section carries explicit `## Canonical form decision`, `## Blast radius`, and `## Integration with existing mechanisms` subsections — the migration-policy discipline made visible per spec section. Grounding-check (two dispatches): first BLOCK on prelude auto-injection mis-framing (claimed it was a new mechanism; in fact prelude is hardcoded-auto-injected today), corrected inline; second PASS after the revised two-tier-architecture framing also landed. All load-bearing assumptions ratified by named tests in the working tree. Out of scope, named explicitly: the raw-buf milestone (#7), the series milestone (#8), record-element SoA support, LSP/MCP integration for `ail describe`, higher-kinded `param-in`, and primitive-instance intercept migration (deferred to #7 when there is a real second consumer for the registry). Refs Gitea milestone #6. |

spec: schema-camelcase-fix — expand scope to data-model.md + rustdoc layer (refs #30)
Spec amendment after plan-recon flagged four missed touch-points in the brainstorm grounding-check loop: 1. `design/contracts/data-model.md:142-147` — fenced JSON-block in the canonical data-model contract. The data-model contract IS the canonical-schema doc (INDEX.md row, ratifying test `tests/design_schema_drift.rs`); leaving it on camelCase after `ast.rs` ships kebab is a direct Honesty-Rule violation. 2. Three rustdoc strings in production source that describe the present-state schema vocabulary: `ast.rs:8`, `parse.rs:81`, `check/lib.rs:1707`. Each enumerates the rename targets in prose; left unchanged they would describe a state that no longer exists. 3. Better home for the new schema-shape pin: `design_schema_drift.rs` (not `schema_coverage.rs`). That file already operates as the data-model-contract ratifying test, already builds Term::Lam exemplars at L121-129, and uses `anchor_in_jsonc_block` to walk data-model.md fenced blocks — the proposed extension slots directly into the existing pin family. 4. Experiment-tree files (`experiments/2026-05-12-.../master/spec.md`, `rendered/*.md`, `runs/**`) carry old tags. Per Honesty-Rule analogy with docs/plans/* — these are frozen historical artefacts of the 2026-05-12 cross-model-authoring experiment and are NOT migrated. The experiment's `master/examples/*.ail.json` fixture IS migrated (live JSON the workspace loader can deserialise); surrounding prose is not. Plus an editorial fix: the fixture-occurrence count parenthetical corrected from "3" to "2" — each fixture has one `paramTypes` + one `retType`, one per line. Spec re-dispatched through `ailang-grounding-check` (Step 7.5 re-PASS). All 9 load-bearing claims ratified, with 2 negative-grep "no test pins this" ratifications openly flagged in the agent report as a Boss-override-eligible shape. Acceptance criteria renumbered to 7 (was 6). Touch-point count now: 2 serde-renames + 1 workspace.rs literal + 2 .ail.json fixtures + 1 data-model.md fenced block + 3 rustdoc strings = 9 files, all small edits. No hash-pin refresh required. |

spec: schema-camelcase-fix — paramTypes/retType → param-types/ret-type (closes #30)
Brainstorm output. Single-iteration milestone: rename the two camelCase JSON tags on `Term::Lam` — the only camelCase outliers in the AST schema — to kebab-case, matching the convention every other compound-key tag (`reuse-as`, etc.) already follows. Scope is verified-tiny: ast.rs (2 serde-rename strings) + workspace.rs in-source test JSON-literal + 2 `.ail.json` fixtures. None of the five hash-pinned `.ail` modules contains a lambda, so the milestone refreshes zero hash pins. Form-A is untouched — the surface uses `(params (typed ...))` / `(ret ...)`, never the camelCase tags. Feature-acceptance gate: passes weakly-but-honestly. Clause 1 is indirect (schema-internal consistency reduces the LLM author's "compound-tag-is-kebab" generalisation failure rate); there is no empirical preference measurement for this axis. Clause 2 holds (one fewer special case to memorise). Clause 3 vacuous (no semantic surface touched). Grounding-check (Step 7.5) PASS: all four load-bearing claims ratified by currently-green tests — round_trip.rs (Form-A invariance), hash_pin.rs (no lambda in pinned modules), workspace.rs in-source ct1_validator test (exhaustive call-site list), design_schema_drift.rs (kebab convention pin). Not bundled with #27 (arith-rename) per the spec preamble: #27 carries its own four open brainstorm questions and is a separate milestone; each gets one re-pin wave with its own rationale, no churn savings from bundling. |

spec: operator-routing-eq-ord — drop comparator builtins, route through Eq/Ord
Resolves Gitea #1. Realises the "P2 follow-up" called out in examples/prelude.ail line 9. Approach A (single-iter atomic milestone): one cohesive cut across seven layers in one iter, plus the regenerated prelude module hash pin. Three design forks resolved with the user via brainstorm Q&A: (1) Operator-name surface: `==` `!=` `<` `<=` `>` `>=` die from the language. The LLM-author writes only the class-method names `eq` `ne` `lt` `le` `gt` `ge` `compare`. One mental model: AILang has class-dispatch, operators are not a separate concept. Option 2 (keep names as surface aliases) was rejected because it adds a second spelling for an identical operation — the redundancy the milestone is supposed to remove gets reintroduced syntactically. Option 3 (two-track: primitive Built-in for Int/Bool/Str/Unit, class for user-types) was rejected because the two-pathy state is precisely what this milestone exists to dismantle. (2) Float comparison surface: Float keeps comparison capability via six named prelude fns (`float_eq` `float_ne` `float_lt` `float_le` `float_gt` `float_ge`), no `Eq Float` / `Ord Float` instance. Motivation: all three feature-acceptance clauses simultaneously satisfied — clause 1 (LLM-natural via Library-Convention-Pattern like Python's `math.isclose` or Rust's `approx`-crates), clause 2 (within the polymorphic surface there is one path; Float is honestly stamped "non-polymorphic"), clause 3 (the NaN-comparison anti-pattern stays visible in code as `float_eq` rather than hiding behind `eq`). Option A (Float loses all comparison) was rejected as overstretch — workarounds via `is_nan` + arithmetic are more bug-prone than a named fn that emits the right fcmp directly. Option C (Eq Float with IEEE semantics) was rejected as clause-3 violation — it would reintroduce the silent NaN-comparison bug class that the existing Float-no-Eq/Ord design exists to prevent. (3) Codegen mechanism for primitive Eq/Ord instances: option β (always-call through dispatch, with `alwaysinline` attribute on intercept-emitted bodies as pre-emptive `-O0` mitigation, and option α — call-site intercept — held as the bench-gate fallback if measurements show real regression). Motivation: semantic honesty (class methods ARE calls, optimiser folds primitives uniformly at Int and User-Point alike), parity with `Show` (which is also full-call today with no intercept), smaller IR-shape contract for the existing pins. Under `-O2` the inliner deterministically collapses 2- instruction bodies; bench corpus runs `-O2`. Under `-O0` `alwaysinline` overrides the no-inline default, giving the same per-call IR shape as today. α was the initial-framed Recommendation but was scrutinised in user pushback ("spricht irgendwas FÜR β?") and after substantive re-balancing β came out coherent. Grounding-check (ailang-grounding-check) PASS on re-dispatch — 11 load-bearing assumptions ratified by: `crates/ail/tests/e2e.rs::eq_demo` + `::lit_pat_demo`, `crates/ail/tests/eq_ord_e2e.rs::eq_ord_polymorphic_runs_end_to_end` + `::eq_ord_user_adt_runs_end_to_end` + `::eq_ord_user_adt_eq_intbox_hash_stable`, `crates/ail/tests/eq_float_noinstance.rs::eq_at_float_fires_float_aware_noinstance`, `crates/ail/tests/prelude_free_fns.rs::ne_at_int_produces_mono_symbol` (+4 siblings), `crates/ailang-surface/tests/prelude_module_hash_pin.rs::prelude_parse_yields_canonical_hash`, plus in-source `#[cfg(test)] mod tests` ratifiers in `crates/ailang-check/src/lib.rs` (`eq_typechecks_at_int/bool/str/unit`, `mq2_env_method_to_candidate_classes_built`) and `crates/ailang-codegen/src/lib.rs` (`lower_eq_str_calls_strcmp_with_bytes_pointer`). The `alwaysinline` LLVM attribute is correctly classified as new feature-work commitment (no live occurrences today), not as a load-bearing assumption about present state. First grounding-check pass BLOCKED on one spec defect — the spec mischaracterised `crates/ailang-core/src/desugar.rs:2414` as "a separate desugar pass" when it is in fact a `#[cfg(test)] mod tests` AST-literal scaffold. Fixed inline: §Architecture and §Components/4 now enumerate only `build_eq` (desugar.rs:1099) as the sole production desugar site; `desugar.rs:2414`, `lib.rs:6092`, `lib.rs:6220` are framed as test-scaffold migrations alongside the production change, not as desugar-pass work. Re-dispatch PASS. Out of scope (tracked separately): - Deriving for Eq/Ord — `typeclasses.md:177` "No deriving" stands; instance bodies remain hand-written. - Parameterised-ADT instances (`instance Eq (List a)` etc.) — requires constraint-propagation infrastructure, belongs to Gitea #2 ("22c typeclass corpus expansion"). - Eq/Ord for the `Ordering` ADT itself — no use case; consumed via match, not compared. - `and` / `or` as Builtins — north-star fixture uses `(if … … false)` for short-circuit conjunction; separate concern. refs #1 |

spec: boehm-retirement — drop the transitional Boehm GC path
Resolves Gitea #4. Approach A (atomic single iteration). Six layers in one cohesive cut: CLI `--alloc=gc` arm removed; codegen `AllocStrategy::Gc` variant deleted with the default flipped to `Rc`; libgc link branch removed; ~3 pure-differential e2e tests plus the `gc_stress.ail` fixture deleted; ~9 RC-feature tests that used GC-stdout as backstop lose only the differential assertion (absolute fixed-stdout pin retained); M2 staticlib alloc-guard drops its gc-arm (bump-arm preserved); design/models/rc-uniqueness excises the Boehm-parity-oracle narrative; pipeline.md drops the libgc pipeline-diagram arm; docs_honesty_pin flips from Boehm-present-tense anchor to four absence-pins against Boehm-zombie strings. Three design forks were resolved with the user via brainstorm Q&A: (1) bump survives as bench-floor — `AllocStrategy::Bump`, the `--alloc=bump` CLI flag, and `runtime/bump.c` all stay; the enum keeps two variants (Rc, Bump); the codegen negative-complement test retargets from `AllocStrategy::Gc` to `AllocStrategy::Bump`. Bump's standing role is the raw-alloc bench-floor for RC-overhead measurement, not a production target. (2) the ~12 RC-vs-GC differential e2e tests are NOT all deleted wholesale — pure-differential ones (test name literally `*_matches_gc_*` or `*_same_stdout_as_gc`) are deleted; the RC-feature tests with GC as backstop keep their absolute stdout pin (`assert_eq!(stdout_rc.trim(), "<n>")`) and only lose the differential assertion. This nuance was added at spec time on top of the user's "delete the differential pattern" answer, because the differential was incidental to tests like `rc_box_drop` / `rc_list_drop_borrow` that pin drop-fn correctness under RC and would lose unrelated coverage if deleted entirely. (3) the 1.3× RC-over-bump number is retained in design/models/rc-uniqueness.md but reframed as a bench-health regression gate (not a Boehm-retirement gate); the closure-chain ±15% wider band is preserved analogously. Grounding-check (ailang-grounding-check) PASS — 7 load-bearing assumptions ratified, all spec-named paths and line numbers verified (±2 lines), all proposed-for-removal strings present at the spec-named locations. Assumption #7 (codegen default currently Gc) is structurally self-evident: removing the variant forces the default onto a surviving one by construction. Out of scope, tracked separately: - Gitea #3 "Closure-pair slab / pool" — would tighten the closure-chain ±15% band; not blocked by retirement. - Any further `AllocStrategy::Bump` rework — still a single-variant bench instrument. refs #4 |

spec: bench-harness-recalibration — degate max_us/p99_9, recapture baselines
One-iteration infra milestone closing Gitea #15 + #16. Two issues framed distinct symptoms; reproduction on 2026-05-20 HEAD via two back-to-back `bench/check.py -n 5` runs collapses them onto a single picture: - #15 ("*.bump_s stale") is wider than the issue framed. Drift reproduces deterministically on `bench_list_sum.bump_s` (+13.91% / +15.56%) AND on `bench_hof_pipeline.gc_s` (+10.60% / +10.94%) — not just the bump_s family. Drift correlates with memory pressure: `bench_tree_walk` and `bench_compute_collatz` are clean across both runs. - #16 ("*.max_us structural false-positive") has matured. The "vanishes on rerun" pattern the issue documented from 2026-05-16 / 2026-05-18 audits is gone: today `implicit_at_rc.max_us` reproduces at +47.20% / +49.42%, and `implicit_at_rc.p99_9_us` at +27.79% / +41.92%. Same arm only (`implicit @ rc`); the other two latency arms are clean. The metrics are now drift-elevated AND structurally jitter- prone — both reasons to retire them from the gate. Decision: one cohesive change, all in `bench/baseline.json`. Drop the six unreliable entries (`max_us` + `p99_9_us` × 3 latency arms), then `bench/check.py --update-baseline` from current HEAD to absorb the environmental drift in one honest cut. No code change to `check.py` / `run.sh` / `latency_harness.py` — the harness already iterates only entries present in `baseline.json`, so the schema mechanics work as-is. Alternatives considered and rejected: - Adding a `gated: bool` field per metric to keep `max_us` / `p99_9_us` measured-but-not-gated. Pure speculative infrastructure: today's pathology is drift, not jitter, and the diagnostic value of `max_us` in the `check.py` report is hypothetical (it's already in `run.sh` output upstream). User push-back ("was soll 1?") was correct. - Tolerance widening on the drifted metrics. Hides the drift under a wider band; a real +10% codegen regress would slip through. - `-n` raise for tail metrics. Doesn't address the structural problem (max-of-distribution is OS-jitter-dominated regardless of N); blows up bench wall time ~10x. - cpuset / `isolcpus=` pinning. Sysadmin-layer fix that doesn't survive CI move or a new dev machine. - Histogram-based latency methodology rework (Gitea #19). The proper long-term fix, but a separate brainstorm; this milestone is the stop-gap that buys back the noise floor in the meantime. Grounding-check (Step 7.5): PASS, trivial-spec path — no Rust compiler / checker / codegen / schema / runtime claims (all load-bearing claims are about the out-of-tree Python harness, and are covered by the spec's own replay-pass + synthetic-injection acceptance checks). |

spec: design-ledger-formal-links — corpus-grounded amendment (clause-5 fence-skip + closed enumeration)
Plan-time corpus verification surfaced a third distinct gap the brainstorm-sample missed: data-model.md:38/66/79/206/226 are 'see §"..."' annotations inside fenced jsonc code blocks (verified: fences at 30-87 and 203-228; the 5 refs fall inside), where a Markdown link is literal text — not a navigable link on any renderer. Per the "two+ surfaced ⇒ ground the spec properly once, don't iter-patch" discipline: amendment 2 is the definitive corpus-grounded pass, not a fourth-patch returning later. Every convert-set ref's prose-vs-fence status + exact bytes personally verified before amending. - clause-5 (Concrete a): adds a strip_fences helper toggling on triple-backtick / tilde lines; the per-file scan runs targets(&strip_fences(&raw)); the RED-first synthetic vector gains two fence-skip assertions (identity-stub of strip_fences ⇒ first assert fails ⇒ genuine RED). Contract grows from 3 to 4 predicates (+ fenced-code-not-scanned). - Scope section: third out-of-scope carve-out — a 'see §"..."' inside a fenced code block is schema-example documentation = the inline- annotation analog of the nominal-mention carve-out (a // comment in a code example is code documentation, not a 'go browse there' pointer). Clean extension of the converged navigational-vs-nominal principle. - Acceptance 3: convert-set CLOSED and exhaustive — 8 prose refs (float-semantics:69/100, embedding-abi:45, memory-model:44/105, scope-boundaries:48/88), 2 disposition-(b) homeless removals (pipeline:61, authoring-surface:180), 6 stay-prose (data-model in-fence x5, embedding-abi:51). Iter-provenance suffixes stripped on conversion. scope-boundaries:88 splits into a source link plus a Pipeline cross-file link. grounding-check third dispatch on the amended bytes: PASS, all 8 assumptions ratified (incl. corpus-state-verified A4-A7 per the rolesplit precedent for text-enumeration claims). |

spec: design-ledger-formal-links — formal cross-links in the design/ ledger
Positive completion of the DESIGN.md -> design/ split: informal prose cross-references become formal file-relative Markdown links, gated by a new RED-first design_index_pin.rs clause-5 (every design/ body link resolves into the durable tier or fails the build). INDEX spine stays repo-root-relative (registry tier, clause-1 unchanged). No authoring surface. Eight converged commitments + the user-decided INDEX sub-fork; grounding-check PASS 7/7. roadmap [~] in-flight. |

spec: design-md-rolesplit — Boss-adjudicated relocation appendix (planner recon resolution)
plan-recon surfaced 7 open questions (genuine Boss design judgement, not architectural forks). Adjudicated and folded into the spec as an authoritative placeholder-free Appendix relocation map (every ##/### of DESIGN.md -> exactly one destination): - design_index_pin.rs clause-2 widened to accept crates/**/src/*.rs in-source #[cfg(test)] mod tests as first-class ratifiers. - INDEX ratifier tokens resolved to recon-verified paths; memory-model -> uniqueness.rs (in-source), tail-calls -> lib.rs:5044 tail_call_in_non_tail_position_is_rejected (NOT loop_recur — different construct), env-construction path corrected to ailang-check/tests. - 3 ledger additions the 12-list under-counted: qualified-xref (source-link only), str-abi (prose+source; the one sanctioned sentence-level move, 2802 bold para), scope-boundaries (present-tense honesty-pinned). Net 15 contracts / 5 models / 1 decision-record journal. - OQ7: lib.rs:103 dangling 'Iter 13b' cite is deleted not retargeted (no forward target exists; a pointer would be fiction). grounding-check re-dispatched after the material edit: PASS, all 6 changed/new ratifiers resolve to named currently-green tests. |

spec: design-md-rolesplit — DESIGN.md role-split into design/ contracts+models ledger
Role-split the 3020-line docs/DESIGN.md into design/contracts/ (the hot, test-linked invariant set), design/models/ (one whitepaper per model), and design/INDEX.md as the sole addressable spine; decision- records rehomed to docs/journals/. Clean cut (DESIGN.md deleted, no stub), ###-subsection relocation granularity, build-atomic landing (design_schema_drift.rs include_str! forces one commit), polymorphic INDEX links (code-SoT contracts point at source //!, no prose dup), typed-INDEX anti-regrowth pin (design_index_pin.rs). grounding-check PASS 13/13 after one re-dispatch (commitment-4 pin-status claim corrected: Decision-6 :242 audit-trail sentence is pinned by no test, retired to the decision-record journal, no successor pin by design). roadmap: DESIGN.md->design/ marked [~] in flight (spec landed). |

spec: embedding-abi-m5 — ail-embed adapter + data-server wiring + thread-swarm backtest
User-approved 2026-05-19; grounding-check PASS (all load-bearing
assumptions are already-shipped M3 ABI behaviour, each pinned by a
green non-ignored integration test: embed_tick_e2e own+borrow,
embed/tick_roundtrip.c, embed_staticlib_cli, embed_swarm_tsan,
embed_staticlib_alloc_guard). Terminal embedding milestone, zero
language/compiler/runtime change — ail-embed is a lean reusable
embedding module (Rust port of the audited tick_roundtrip.c) + the
real E2E; in-repo, [workspace]-excluded so the compiler workspace
owes nothing to ../libs/data-server or /mnt (Invariant 1 in the
dependency graph, not just on paper). Real data-server + real
Pepperstone ticks; symbol-fan headline + time-shard
boundary-invisibility proof (per-shard bit-exact; whole-window only
within f64-reassociation tolerance — self-review fix).
roadmap: M5 [ ]->[~] open in-flight, spec pointer added, dangling
"todo above" dependency reconciled to shipped 170464f; M4-retired
and Tick-coverage struck/done entries pruned (their own text
scheduled deletion at next-milestone-start; permanent rationale
survives in 2026-05-18-brainstorm-embedding-abi-m4-retired.md, still
pointed to by M5's context line). Mirrors the M3

iter embedding-abi-m3.1 (PARTIAL 5/7 + Boss spec-defect repair): single-ctor scalar record crosses the C ABI, ownership follows declared mode
Tasks 1-5 GREEN. T1 baseline pins (re-point annotation + @ailang_rc_alloc heap-box byte-pin: size=8+n*8, tag@0, fields@8/16). T2 export gate widened (is_c_scalar -> two-level is_c_abi_type: single-ctor all-Int/Float record; multi-ctor/Str/List/nested still RED; gate suite 10/10; M1 adt-ret must-fail re-pointed to multi-ctor+Str Reading). T3 codegen forwarder widened (llvm_scalar record Type::Con -> ptr; M2 forwarder body byte-unchanged; 3/3 staticlib pins). T4/T5 E2E record round-trip own+borrow, global leak-freedom. Boss spec-consistency repair (M2.1-precedent class): orchestrator correctly BLOCKED Task 5 on a genuine spec defect -- the single-ctx-readback allocs==frees proof model is unsatisfiable for borrow (and only coincidentally passes for own) because M2's TLS-ctx is bound only during the synchronous forwarder call, so host-side decs land on g_rc_*, not ctx. Boss-verified globally leak-free + value-correct both modes. Spec + plan + harness amended to the stronger global model (sum all ailang_rc_stats: lines; the M2-TLS cross-attribution documented as correct behaviour). No fresh grounding-check (removes an over-strong measurement assumption). Tasks 6 (DESIGN.md frozen-layout SSOT + lockstep pointers + freeze wording + enforceability demo) and 7 (workspace-green gate) re-dispatched on the amended plan. Bench/architect milestone-close is audit-owned. iter embedding-abi-m3.1 (PARTIAL); INDEX.md line deferred to the DONE commit |
