Brummel 26fb3459d8 GREEN: io/print_str byte-faithful via @fputs(@stdout) — closes #29
The runtime print path now writes exactly the bytes of its
argument with no implicit trailing newline. `io/print_str` is
byte-faithful; authors who want a newline emit `(do io/print_str
"\n")` themselves.

## Codegen

`crates/ailang-codegen/src/lib.rs`:
- Module preamble: `@puts(ptr)` → `@fputs(ptr, ptr)` plus
  `@stdout = external global ptr` (libc's `FILE *stdout`).
- Effect-op lowering for `io/print_str`: emit
  `getelementptr +8` then `load ptr, ptr @stdout` then
  `call/tail call i32 @fputs(ptr bytes, ptr fp)`. Identical
  bytes-pointer GEP, distinct sink.
- The pinned IR-shape test renames from
  `print_str_calls_puts_with_bytes_pointer` to
  `print_str_calls_fputs_with_bytes_pointer_and_stdout` and now
  asserts: bytes-GEP present, stdout-load present, both module-
  preamble declarations present, and no `@puts(` call anywhere
  in the emitted IR.

## Why this shape, and not the alternatives

- *Rename `io/print_str` to `io/println_str` (issue #29 option 2)*
  — kept the auto-newline, just relabelled it. AILang's design
  bias is explicit-over-implicit (CLAUDE.md: implicit conversions
  cut). Auto-newline is a hidden runtime augmentation; the rename
  would have preserved it. Rejected.
- *Append `\n` inside the polymorphic `print` (Show-mediated)
  function in `examples/prelude.ail`* — would have been a one-line
  fix. Rejected: `print` is the Show-mediated formatter, not a
  newline emitter; baking a newline into it would have re-imposed
  the same implicit-augmentation problem one layer up, breaking
  callers that legitimately want pure-bytes output.

## Fixture / test sweep

30 `.ail` fixtures whose owning tests asserted line-separated
stdout now emit explicit `(do io/print_str "\n")` after each
print. Tests that asserted on multi-line stdout (`show_print_e2e`,
`floats_e2e`, `str_concat_e2e`, `eq_ord_e2e`, several `print_*`
smoke tests) had their fixtures sweetened the same way; assertions
themselves remain the canonical observable output. Fixtures that
never relied on the newline (no test ever read the absence of one)
were left untouched.

## Migrated metadata

- `crates/ailang-core/tests/hash_pin.rs`: the `ordering_match::main`
  canonical hash is refreshed (`b65a7f834703ffb4` →
  `8ed47b4062ce00f5`). The comment now names both successive
  corpus migrations honestly: the per-type-print-retirement (which
  moved `(do io/print_int x)` to `(app print x)`) AND this
  fputs swap (which wrapped that with `(seq ... (do io/print_str
  "\n"))`).
- `design/contracts/str-abi.md`: the consumer-ABI table now lists
  `@fputs` as the print sink. A prose paragraph documents the
  byte-faithful semantics and references this issue.
- `examples/ordering_match.prose.txt`: regenerated from the
  updated `ordering_match.ail`.
- `crates/ail/tests/snapshots/{hello,sum,max3,list,ws_main}.ll`:
  IR snapshots regenerated via `UPDATE_SNAPSHOTS=1`.
- Stale `@puts` comments in `runtime/str.c`,
  `crates/ail/tests/{e2e,show_print_e2e,print_no_leak_pin}.rs`
  replaced with `@fputs`.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p ail --test print_str_no_auto_newline_e2e` — both
  RED tests from commit c8ecfa3 now pass.
- `cargo test --workspace` — 90 test groups GREEN, 0 failures.
- `cargo build --workspace` — GREEN.
- No new clippy lints (24 warnings pre-existing in
  `crates/ailang-core/src/lib.rs:129`).
- Stats: `bench/orchestrator-stats/2026-05-21-iter-bugfix-print-
  str-fputs.json` — 1/1 tasks, 0 re-loops, 0 review loops.

## Empirical evidence cited

Caught in the 2026-05-21 Qwen3-Coder naming-A/B run
(`experiments/2026-05-21-naming-ab/runs/r1/`): every cohort wrote
`(do io/print_str "...\n")` with explicit `\n` and got doubled
newlines, failing the `t3_main_prints` stdout match across all
three cohorts. The empirical LLM-natural form already assumes the
new (post-this-commit) semantics — confirming the
feature-acceptance test in CLAUDE.md.

Brummel 13946219f5 fix(runtime): mirror surface .0-fallback in ailang_float_to_str
`runtime/str.c::ailang_float_to_str` now applies the `.0`-fallback
already enforced by the surface printer's `write_float_lit`
(crates/ailang-surface/src/print.rs lines 624-637): after the
existing `%g` snprintf, if `x` is finite and the rendered buffer
contains neither `.` nor `e`/`E`, append `.0` so a whole-valued
Float renders with Float-shaped text. The `isfinite(x)` fence
keeps `nan`/`inf`/`-inf` from matching the predicate and turning
into `nan.0`/`inf.0`. The 64-byte stack buffer's truncation guard
is extended by 2 bytes for the fallback path so the defensive
`abort()` discipline holds.

The alternative (document `%g`-without-fallback in the design/
ledger as a deliberate human-friendly contract) was rejected: the
language's stated ethos is machine-readability and round-trip
identity; the surface printer is the reference, runtime drift
from it is a defect not a feature.

Golden updates flow from the contract change. Three fixtures
encoded the old Int-shaped output for Float values:
- `crates/ail/tests/floats_e2e.rs`: `"4\n42\n-1.5\n"` →
  `"4.0\n42.0\n-1.5\n"` (1.5+2.5=4.0, int_to_float(42)=42.0).
- `crates/ail/tests/e2e.rs::mut_sum_floats_prints_55`: `"55"` →
  `"55.0"`. The accompanying doc comment used to canonicalise the
  bug ("`%g` strips the trailing `.0` — so the canonical stdout
  for Float 55.0 is `55`"); rewritten to reflect the new contract.
- `examples/mut_sum_floats.ail` docstring: same correction.

Two doc comments are updated where the post-fix contract differs
from the old text but the fixture golden does not change:
- `examples/float_to_str_smoke.ail` docstring (3.5 still renders
  as `3.5` because `.` is already present — the fallback does not
  fire).
- `crates/ail/tests/e2e.rs::float_to_str_smoke` doc comment (same
  observation, made explicit so the trip-wire's intent is clear).

Verified: `cargo test -p ail --test print_float_whole_e2e` green
(was RED at f19b0dd); `cargo test --workspace` 0 failed across
all crates and integration suites.

Brummel 77b28ad64d iter form-a.1 (Tasks 1-5): additive phase + relocation
First half of the form-a-default-authoring milestone-close iter
(Boss-decided strategy C, big-bang). All five tasks DONE; cargo
test --workspace green at every per-task boundary.

T1 — Add three new tests:
- parse_is_deterministic_over_every_ail_fixture (round_trip.rs)
- cli_parse_then_render_then_parse_is_idempotent (roundtrip_cli.rs)
- carve_out_inventory.rs (new file; #[ignore]'d until T8 deletion)

T2 — Bulk-render the 99 missing examples/<stem>.ail files via
`ail render`. Corpus 58 .ail (pre-iter) -> 157 .ail. Eight .ail.json
carve-outs (7 §C4(a) subject-matter + 1 §C4(b) prelude) preserved.
One re-loop triggered: load_workspace prefers .ail siblings since
ext-cli.1, so the newly-rendered imports broke seven Group-A entries
whose JSON entry-paths now resolved imports to fresh .ail. Repair:
pre-emptive forward-pull of five T3 migrations + 4 transient
#[ignore]s on workspace.rs mod tests (cleanly relocated in T5).

T3 — 14 Group-A test files migrated from ailang_core::load_workspace
to ailang_surface::load_workspace + .ail paths. Carve-out lines
preserved verbatim (7 sites in typeclass_22b2.rs / typeclass_22b3.rs).

T4 — 12 Group-B test files: bulk regex flip on build_and_run /
build_and_run_with_alloc / build_and_run_with_rc_stats call sites
(~70 e2e.rs invocations + 11 subprocess sites). Four files
mis-classified Group-A as Group-B in plan recon (mono_hash_stability,
prelude_free_fns, print_mono_body_shape, show_mono_synthesis); two
files mis-classified Group-B as Group-A (mono_recursive_fn,
mono_xmod_qualified_ref). Migrated per actual shape, not plan label.

T5 — Relocated #[cfg(test)] mod tests from production source to
integration test crates with ailang-surface dev-dependency:
- crates/ailang-core/tests/hash_pin.rs (10 tests from hash.rs)
- crates/ailang-core/tests/workspace_pin.rs (10 non-carve-out tests
  from workspace.rs)
- crates/ailang-codegen/tests/eq_primitives_pin.rs (3 tests from
  codegen/src/lib.rs:3717-3799)
- ailang-prose/tests/snapshot.rs migrated (helper + 8 fixtures) to
  .ail + ailang_surface::load_module
Carve-out tests in workspace.rs mod tests preserved in-place
(3× 22b2 + 3× ct1 = 6 tests). Tempdir-based loader-mechanism tests
(3 sites) also preserved — they don't consume examples/.

Tests: 560 passed, 0 failed, 4 ignored (was 558 + 3 T1 new -
1 transit carve_out_inventory #[ignore] = 560 active).

Tasks 6-12 (bench-driver suffix flips, e2e diff-test rewrite + 4
additional raw-JSON-inspect handlers, .ail.json deletion, retiring
obsolete roundtrip tests + schema_coverage corpus flip, §C3
DESIGN.md restatement, §A4 doctrine edits, WhatsNew + roadmap
strike) ship in the next dispatch on this iter ID.

Known debt inherited to T6-12: 4 raw-JSON-inspect tests in e2e.rs
(borrow_own_demo / reuse_as_demo / render_parse_round_trip_canonical
/ ail_run_accepts_ail_source_with_same_stdout_as_ail_json dual-form
smoke) need rewrite or #[ignore] before T8 deletion; recorded in
journal Concerns + Known debt sections.
