feat(lang): eliminate the Implicit ownership default — totality + the drop-soundness it demasks (#55)
Deletes `ParamMode::Implicit`. `ParamMode` is now `{Own, Borrow}`:
every fn-type slot on every signature carries an explicit `own` or
`borrow`, no defaulted position survives anywhere (model 0008 §2,
spec 0062). The parser rejects a bare fn-type slot; `borrow-return`
and `borrow-over-value` reject at the signature; the corpus is
migrated to minimal-ownership modes (consumed ⇒ own, read-only-heap
⇒ borrow, value ⇒ trivial-own). The documented `Implicit`-ret-mode
leak is fixed: an owned heap return now drops exactly once (live=0,
acceptance criterion 5).
This was the easy half. Removing the default ACTIVATED a family of
drop paths that `Implicit` had silently skipped — the pre-cutover
language was leaking (and in places mis-dropping) here rather than
crashing, because an Implicit scrutinee turned the drop off. Making
the modes explicit (Own) turned those paths on and exposed two
latent-bug clusters, all fixed RED-first as part of this cutover:
Drop-soundness family (four legs):
A. lit-sub-pattern double-free — the desugar re-matched the same
owned scrutinee in the lit fall-through; fixed by grouping
consecutive same-ctor arms into one match (bind fields once),
in ailang-core desugar.
B. Cons-husk leak on non-tail arm bodies — the lit-sub-pattern
desugar rebound the owned scrutinee via `Let $mp = xs`, which
bumped consume_count and suppressed the existing fn-return
partial_drop. Fixed by not rebinding a bare-Var scrutinee
(one husk-freeing mechanism, not two).
C. polymorphic `drop_<T>` rc_dec'd monomorphised value fields —
the per-ADT drop fn was emitted once from the polymorphic
TypeDef, defaulting type-var fields to ptr and rc_dec'ing
inline Ints (segfault). Fixed with per-monomorph drop
functions (new ailang-codegen::dropmono): the drop set is
collected from the lowered MIR, value-type fields are skipped,
heap fields still freed once; monomorphic-concrete ADTs keep
their byte-identical un-suffixed drop symbol.
D. static Str literal passed to an `(own Str)` param — the
literal lowers to a header-less rodata constant; the callee's
now-active rc_dec read its length field as a refcount and
freed a static address (segfault). Fixed with the missing
fourth StrRep::Static→Heap promotion in lower_to_mir's App arm,
gated on Own mode (borrow args stay static, no regression).
over-strict-mode lint over-fired: it suggested `(borrow V)` for
value-typed params (which `borrow-over-value` rejects — own is the
only legal mode there) and fired on `(intrinsic)` bodies (whose
consumption the linearity walk cannot observe). Tightened to skip
both; contract 0008 updated to the narrowed firing scope.
Irreversible step — canonical-form hash reset (model 0008 §6,
acceptance criterion 6). Every signature now carries explicit modes,
so the hashable canonical JSON changed for every module. RATIFY:
the corpus-wide hash-pin reset (hash_pin, prelude_module_hash_pin,
mono_hash_stability, eq_ord_e2e, embed_export_hash_stable, the
ct4/iter*/loop_recur schema-extension pins) and the list ir_snapshot
golden were regenerated once, deliberately, as the intended one-time
consequence of removing the mode elision from the canonical form —
not a regression. Each regenerated hash verified deterministic across
two runs.
Also fixes a pre-existing latent failure surfaced by the verification
gate, unrelated to this cutover: the `every_contract_names_a_resolvable_
ratifying_test` resolver (design_index_pin) could not resolve the
" + " dual-link ratifying-test form (`uniqueness.rs + linearity.rs`)
that the #57 audit-close (

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. |
