Five polymorphic prelude free fns (ne/lt/le/gt/ge) plus three E2E
fixtures: positive composition over Int/Bool/Str, user-ADT with
user-written Eq/Ord on IntBox, and Float-NoInstance with a
Float-aware diagnostic addendum cross-referencing DESIGN.md §"Float
semantics".
Two checker-side fixes were needed alongside the prelude additions,
both symmetric to the iter 23.4-prep visibility fix:
- linearity::check_module_with_visible — workspace-aware callee-mode
resolution so a Borrow-mode user fn forwarding into a prelude poly
fn (e.g. `at_most x y = not (gt x y)`) doesn't false-fire
consume-while-borrowed.
- mono::collect_mono_targets — distinguish rigid forall vars from
unbound metavars; rigid-bearing free-fn targets skip (they get
re-collected with concrete subst when the enclosing fn itself
monomorphises). Without this, a polymorphic body calling another
polymorphic free fn produced a spurious __Unit specialisation
whose body referenced compare at Unit.
Roadmap split: shipped Eq/Ord half checked, Show + print-rewire half
remains pending behind the heap-Str ABI prerequisite. DESIGN.md
§"Prelude classes" amended.
One pre-existing fixture (test_22b1_missing_method) renamed its
class method ne → tne to avoid collision with the new prelude `ne`.
Bench: check.py + cross_lang.py exit 0; compile_check.py exits 1
with one sub-ms check_ms.local_rec_capture at +26% (tolerance 25%) —
prelude-growth-related noise-band fluctuation, ratifiable per spec
§248-249 and journal Concerns.
The auto-loaded prelude (iter 23.2 work-in-progress) injects
`class Eq` plus three primitive instances (Eq Int, Eq Bool, Eq Str)
into every workspace. Five workspace::tests assertions broke against
this new baseline:
- iter22b1_missing_method_fires_diagnostic
- instance_without_superclass_instance_fires
- instance_overriding_nonexistent_method_fires
Their fixtures redeclare `class Eq` (and `class Ord` in one case),
which now collides with the prelude. Renamed each fixture's
`Eq`/`eq` -> `TEq`/`teq` and `Ord`/`lt` -> `TOrd`/`tlt`, matching
the scheme already used in the two earlier-renamed test_22b2
fixtures. Method `ne` stays (does not collide). Assertion strings
in workspace.rs updated to match.
- iter22b1_workspace_with_no_classes_has_empty_registry
- iter22b1_instance_in_class_module_loads_clean
Their asserted registry counts assumed an otherwise-empty registry.
Rewritten to filter by `defining_module != "prelude"`: the property
is "no NON-prelude entries" / "exactly one fixture-owned entry",
not raw count.
Doc comments updated alongside each assertion change so the rationale
for TEq/TOrd (collision avoidance) is local. No production code
touched.
Adds seven fixtures under examples/test_22b1_* exercising the
workspace-load coherence checks plus four positive/negative tests in
ailang-core/src/workspace.rs:
- iter22b1_instance_in_class_module_loads_clean: positive case;
test_22b1_orphan_class.ail.json declares Show + instance Show Int
in the same module (the class's). Registry has one entry.
- iter22b1_orphan_instance_fires_diagnostic: declares Show in
test_22b1_orphan_third_classmod, declares instance Show Int in
test_22b1_orphan_third (a third module). Fires OrphanInstance.
- iter22b1_duplicate_instance_fires_diagnostic: per the JOURNAL hint,
module A defines class Show + instance Show MyInt (legal, A is
class's module), module B defines type MyInt + instance Show MyInt
(legal, B is type's module). Entry imports both. Fires
DuplicateInstance with first/second_module distinct.
- iter22b1_missing_method_fires_diagnostic: class Eq with two
non-default methods (eq, ne), instance Eq Int specifies only ne.
Fires MissingMethod { method: "eq" }.
The surface round-trip gate (ailang-surface/tests/round_trip.rs)
filters out test_22b1_* fixtures because the Form-B parser arms for
ClassDef/InstanceDef are deferred to 22b.4. Without the filter, every
fixture's printed text would re-parse-fail on the unknown `class` /
`instance` head.
Test count: 291 → 295 (4 new workspace tests, all green).
