iter schema-camelcase-fix.1 (DONE 4/4): paramTypes/retType → param-types/ret-type — closes #30
`Term::Lam`'s two camelCase JSON tags become kebab-case, matching
the convention every other compound-key tag in the AST schema
already follows. After this iter the canonical JSON has zero
camelCase outliers.
## Schema swap (atomic, Task 2)
- `crates/ailang-core/src/ast.rs:492,494` — two
`#[serde(rename)]` strings: `"paramTypes" → "param-types"`,
`"retType" → "ret-type"`. Rust field names unchanged.
- `crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs:1925-1926` — in-source
JSON literal in the `ct1_validator_walks_lam_embedded_types`
test.
- `design/contracts/data-model.md:142-147` — fenced JSON block
in the canonical data-model contract. Honesty-Rule touch-point:
the contract document must describe the actual present-state
schema.
- `examples/test_loop_binder_captured_by_lambda.ail.json` and
`experiments/2026-05-12-cross-model-authoring/master/examples/fn_with_lambda.ail.json`
— the two `.ail.json` fixtures whose canonical-JSON embeds
the renamed tags.
The five files moved together within one task because `Term::Lam`
has no `#[serde(default)]` on `param_tys` / `ret_ty` — a
renamed-away key is a hard deserialise error. Splitting the swap
would have left the workspace untestable mid-step.
## RED → GREEN pin (Tasks 1, 2)
`crates/ailang-core/tests/design_schema_drift.rs` gains
`lam_serialises_with_kebab_keys`: pins that `serde_json::to_value(&Term::Lam{...})`
emits `"param-types"` / `"ret-type"` AND does not emit the old
camelCase keys. Companion: the existing
`design_md_anchors_every_term_variant` test now also asserts the
kebab anchors appear inside `data-model.md`'s `lam` fenced block.
Both confirmed RED on entry, GREEN after Task 2.
## Rustdoc honesty pass (Task 3)
Three pure-prose edits keep production rustdoc consistent with
the new schema vocabulary: `crates/ailang-core/src/ast.rs:8` (the
module-level rename enumeration), `crates/ailang-surface/src/parse.rs:81`
(prose mention of `lam`'s carry), `crates/ailang-check/src/lib.rs:1707`
(InstanceMethod routing helper rustdoc). No compile or test
consequence — Honesty-Rule maintenance.
## Plan-pseudo-vs-reality finding: under-audited hash blast radius
The brainstorm spec audited `crates/ailang-core/tests/hash_pin.rs`
exhaustively (5 pinned modules, zero `(lam ...)` occurrences,
"no hash refresh required"). It missed
`crates/ailang-surface/tests/prelude_module_hash_pin.rs` — a
separate hash-pin file in a different crate that pins `prelude.ail`,
which contains 11 `(lam ...)` forms. The prelude module hash
drifted (`6d0577ff0d4e50ac` → `562a03fc57e7e017`); the implementer
refreshed it with a Honesty-Rule provenance comment matching the
precedent set in commit `26fb345`. Form-A is unchanged — only the
canonical-JSON byte stream differs, which is exactly what the
rename targets. The spec-side learning is: schema-rename
brainstorms must walk *every* test crate for hash-pin files, not
just the home crate of the AST.
## Why this shape, and not the alternatives
- *`params-ty` / `ret-ty` (Rust-field-name vibe)* — rejected. The
AST JSON schema follows its own kebab/single-word convention,
not Rust field names. The other multi-word tag (`reuse-as`) is
kebab; abbreviating `params-ty` mixes singular+plural and has
no precedent.
- *Inline typed params as a sub-tag* (e.g. `params: [{name, type}, ...]`)
— rejected. Stronger semantic locality, but it changes schema
topology rather than tag spelling. Out of scope for a camelCase
correction; would have re-pinned far more than this milestone.
- *Bundle with #27 (arith-rename)* — rejected. #27 carries four
open brainstorm questions (mod vs rem, neg vs sub 0, Num class,
deprecation window) and is structurally a separate milestone.
Each gets one re-pin wave with its own rationale; no churn
saving from bundling.
## Honest call on the feature-acceptance gate
Clause 1 (LLM author naturally uses the new form) is the weakest
of the three. Direct empirical evidence is absent — the 2026-05-21
naming-A/B run measured a different axis. The argument is
indirect: a future LLM author generalises from the rest of the
schema ("compound keys are kebab"), and the two camelCase
outliers are precisely the sites where that generalisation
diverged from reality. Clause 2 (redundancy reduction) and
Clause 3 (no semantic surface touched) are direct.
## Forbidden touches verified untouched
`docs/plans/*.md` historic plans (which embed old tag names in
example JSON), `experiments/2026-05-12-cross-model-authoring/master/spec.md`,
`experiments/.../rendered/*.md`, and `experiments/.../runs/**` —
all left as frozen historical artefacts per Honesty-Rule
analogue (describe state at time of writing, not present state).
Verified via `git diff --name-only HEAD` (Task 4 Step 4).
## Verification
- `cargo test --workspace`: all test groups OK, 0 failed,
2 ignored (pre-existing).
- `cargo test -p ailang-surface --test round_trip`: GREEN
(Form-A unchanged invariant).
- New schema-shape pin and the extended data-model anchor walk:
GREEN after Task 2.
- Negative grep across `crates/`, `examples/`, `design/`,
`runtime/`: the only remaining `paramTypes` / `retType`
occurrences in checked-in code are the load-bearing
negative-assertion strings inside the new pin (intentional —
they are what makes the pin RED-able on regression).
- Stats: `bench/orchestrator-stats/2026-05-21-iter-schema-camelcase-fix.json`
— 4/4 tasks DONE, no re-loops, no review-loops.

doc: fix Form-A ctor drift in cross-model-authoring spec — closes #28
The master spec at experiments/2026-05-12-cross-model-authoring/ master/spec.md taught two wrong Form-A keywords: - Term position: `(ctor TYPE-NAME CTOR-NAME ARG*)` — parser rejects this; the canonical keyword is `term-ctor`. The bare `(ctor ...)` is reserved for the inside of `(data ...)` definitions only. - Pattern position: `(ctor CTOR-NAME SUBPAT*)` — the canonical pattern keyword is `pat-ctor`. The JSON section was already correct (canonical schema tag IS "t": "ctor", per ast.rs:471). Only the AIL section had drifted. Empirically caught by the Qwen3-Coder naming-A/B run on 2026-05-21 (experiments/2026-05-21-naming-ab/runs/r1/), where every t4_count_zeros output produced `(ctor List Nil)` in term position and failed `ail check` 100 % across all three cohorts — a constant tax independent of the naming variable under test. Re-rendered rendered/ail.md from the patched master via xmodel-render. rendered/json.md unaffected. closes #28 |

iter ext-rename: .ailx → .ail across the live toolchain
The surface-form file extension changes from .ailx to .ail. AILang's
authoring surface now uses the same .ail stem as its canonical JSON
form (.ail.json), giving the language a single coherent extension
family: .ail is the LLM-authored Form A, .ail.json is the canonical
JSON-AST Form B.
Scope (touched):
- 61 example renames examples/**/*.ailx → .ail (git mv)
- 1 rename experiments/.../rendered/ailx.md → ail.md
- 35 content-edited live-toolchain files (crates/, docs/DESIGN.md,
docs/roadmap.md, docs/PROSE_ROUNDTRIP.md, skills/, bench/reference/*.c,
experiment crates under experiments/.../{render,harness,master})
- Experiment-crate cohort rename Cohort::Ailx → Cohort::Ail,
Form::Ailx → Form::Ail, per_cohort/ailx → per_cohort/ail,
{form-only: ailx} → {form-only: ail}, ```ailx → ```ail
Out of scope (deliberately untouched, to preserve honest history):
- docs/journal-archive.md (content-frozen per CLAUDE.md)
- docs/journals/, docs/specs/, docs/plans/, bench/orchestrator-stats/
- experiments/.../runs/ (frozen LLM-output artefacts; models actually
saw .ailx — renaming would falsify the experimental record)
Verification: cargo build/test --workspace green; experiment crate
cargo test green; bench/check.py + compile_check.py + cross_lang.py
all 0-regressed; negative grep for ailx|Ailx|AILX outside the
out-of-scope paths returns zero matches.
Opens immediate follow-up: roadmap.md P2 todo `ail check`/build/run
accept .ail extension — after this rename, .ail is canonical
authoring surface but the CLI still produces a misleading JSON-parse
error on `ail check foo.ail`. That's the next iter.

iter cma.2: harness binary + 4 tasks + reference solutions + 4 integration tests
Sibling standalone Cargo crate `harness/` under experiments/2026-05-12-cross-model-authoring/ (out-of-workspace idiom carried forward from cma.1 verbatim). Six modules: strip_locations (regex pass for form-asymmetric location info, calibrated against five real `ail check`/`ail parse` stderr captures), pipeline (subprocess wrapper for parse|check|build + 5s-timeout exec; preflight on ail+clang), ionos (blocking reqwest client + retry policy per spec), mock (canned-response loader), scoring (CSV + summary.md), tasks (definition struct + loader). main.rs ties them into the per-(cohort,task) loop with budget accounting and per-turn artefact recording. Four MVP tasks land with reference solutions that compile, build, and execute green through the actual ail+clang pipeline: t1_add_three (chained `+` + io/print_int), t2_length (polymorphic List + recursion), t3_main_prints (minimal IO module), t4_count_zeros (prelude Eq Int + branched if). Reference solutions stay in canonical AILang form — param_modes is omitted when every parameter is the Implicit default, consistent with the existing examples/ corpus. 13/13 tests green: 5 lib unit (strip_locations) + 5 integration (strip_locations against verbatim captured fixtures) + 1 verify_references (drives every reference through the real ail+clang pipeline) + 1 mock_full_run (full eight-row sweep with mixed green-on-turn-2 + turn-limit cycles) + 1 budget_abort (synthetic budget exhaustion with budget_abort rows + run_status). Two implementer-phase repairs beyond the plan, both small and surfaced in the iter journal Concerns: 1. pipeline.rs renames the program file to `<module-name>.ail.json` between parse and check because `ail check` enforces filename stem == module name (compiler contract the plan did not anticipate). 2. main.rs fills synthetic budget_abort rows for tasks the outer loop never reached so scores.csv preserves the expected eight-row shape on budget exhaustion. One plan/text mismatch carried over: README "Total 8 passed" reflects the plan's four-suite count; actual sweep produces 13. Doc-fix candidate for cma.3. cma.3 (live IONOS run + DESIGN.md addendum + roadmap edits) remains out of scope. |

iter cma.1: master mini-spec + render binary for cross-model authoring experiment
New top-level experiments/2026-05-12-cross-model-authoring/ (out of
root Cargo workspace; nested-crate standalone via empty [workspace]
table per Cargo idiom). The renderer projects one canonical
master/spec.md into two form-specific files (rendered/json.md and
rendered/ailx.md) by walking three directive forms ({form-only:
json}, {form-only: ailx}, {example: <id>}) and emitting per-example
fenced blocks sourced from 13 curated .ail.json fixtures.
Four test gates green (10/10 total):
- splitter_unit (7) — directive parser, malformed inputs panic
- spec_completeness (1) — AST-variant visitor lifted verbatim from
schema_coverage.rs; 34/34 variants covered by the curated subset
- example_roundtrip (1) — every fixture roundtrips through
ailang_surface::{print, parse} to identical canonical bytes
- token_balance (1) — form-only block totals balanced to 3.22% under
tiktoken-rs::cl100k_base (gate is ±5%)
Six of the 34 variants did not have a dedicated fixture topic in the
plan and were absorbed into the closest existing fixture per the
plan's Step 4.14 escape hatch (Let/Clone → fn_calls_prelude; LetRec
→ data_with_match; If → match_literal_pattern; ReuseAs →
data_simple; Const → floats). Surfaced as a journal note, not a
plan revision.
Two ancillary additions vs. plan, both structural Cargo necessities,
spec-compatible: render/Cargo.toml carries an empty [workspace] table
so the nested crate refuses parent-workspace discovery, and
render/.gitignore drops /target + Cargo.lock. Both surfaced inline
in the per-iter journal's Concerns section.
cma.2 (harness) and cma.3 (live IONOS run + DESIGN.md addendum +
journal + roadmap edits) remain out of scope per the spec.
