Brummel 5170b6abd1 iter operator-routing-eq-ord.1 (DONE 13/13): drop comparator builtins, route through Eq/Ord
Closes Gitea #1. Realises the "P2 follow-up" called out in
examples/prelude.ail:9 — removes the surface comparator names
`==` / `!=` / `<` / `<=` / `>` / `>=` from the language entirely,
routes the LLM-author's `(app eq …)` / `(app compare …)` /
`(app ne|lt|le|gt|ge …)` through prelude.Eq / prelude.Ord class-
dispatch, ships six named Float-comparison fns
(`float_eq`/`float_ne`/`float_lt`/`float_le`/`float_gt`/`float_ge`)
so Float keeps comparability without an Eq/Ord instance, and emits
primitive instance bodies with `alwaysinline` so the -O0 IR shape
stays at one instruction per comparison.

Plan-task journal (13 tasks, single atomic iter per Approach A):

  Task 1 — Bootstrap: 4 new fixtures (eq_user_adt_smoke.ail,
    eq_float_must_fail.ail, float_compare_smoke.ail,
    operator_unbound_check.ail) + 5 new E2E/pin tests as RED
    starting state. All 5 confirmed RED at start: north-star
    fixed `NoInstance Eq Unit` (preserved by Unit-eq opening line
    intentionally added in plan-self-review); float_compare unknown
    `float_eq`; operator-name typechecked (== still polymorphic);
    must-fail diagnostic lacked `float_eq`; alwaysinline absent
    from IR.

  Task 2 — Codegen alwaysinline + intercept arms: introduced
    `intercept_emit_wants_alwaysinline` allowlist + appended
    ` alwaysinline` between `)` and `{` of the `define` line in
    `emit_fn`; added 9 new intercept arms to
    `try_emit_primitive_instance_body` — `eq__Int`/`eq__Bool`/
    `eq__Unit` + the six `float_*` arms.

  Task 3 — Prelude reshape: `instance Eq Unit` added; Eq Int/Bool
    bodies become placeholder-`false` (intercept overrides); six
    `float_*` free fns added; line-9 P2-follow-up comment removed.
    Lockstep hash re-pins: prelude_module_hash_pin (3abe0d3fa3c11c99
    → new), mono_hash_stability six body-hash literals
    (eq__Int/Bool/Str + compare__Int/Bool/Str all shifted because
    placeholder body changes the canonical hash). IR-snapshot
    regen (hello/list/max3/sum/ws_main) rolled forward into this
    task at orchestrator's pragmatic call — prelude shift forces
    the snapshots immediately.

  Task 4 — Fixture migration: 58 .ail fixtures rewritten
    (`(app == …)` → `(app eq …)`, etc.; Float-typed operand sites
    to `(app float_eq …)` / `(app float_lt …)`). eq_ord_user_adt.ail:21
    inner `==` → `eq` migration with lockstep eq_ord_e2e.rs:134
    body-hash re-pin (3c4cf040cb4e8bb2 → new). Two prose snapshots
    accepted; deps test + 5 hash_pin literals updated as cascading
    consequences.

  Task 5 — Test-scaffold migration: all 8 in-source
    `#[cfg(test)] mod tests` AST-literal sites threaded
    (desugar.rs:2414, check/lib.rs:5656/6092/6220, codegen/lib.rs
    sites). 7 obsolete in-source tests deleted (5 eq_typechecks +
    2 lower_eq ADT/Fn rejection — coverage moves to E2E
    eq_user_adt_smoke + eq_float_must_fail). 2 additional letrec
    tests deleted (single-module check env can't resolve eq/ge
    without prelude auto-import; covered by workspace E2E).

  Task 6 — Lit-pattern desugar: build_eq emits
    `Term::Var { name: "eq" }` instead of `"=="` at desugar.rs:1109;
    doc-comment rewritten to describe class-dispatch.

  Task 7 — Dead-machinery deletion sweep (compile-gated): typchecker
    builtins (install + list comparator entries deleted); codegen
    builtin_binop_typed (10 comparator arms deleted from synth.rs,
    table reduced to arithmetic core); lower_eq fn entirely
    deleted; `==` short-circuit in lower_app deleted;
    `is_static_callee` `==` clause deleted;
    `is_arithmetic_or_comparison_op` renamed to `is_arithmetic_op`
    + caller-update at codegen/lib.rs:2152 + :2529. Dead
    `poly_a_a_to_bool` helpers also removed. Workspace build green
    after compile gate — every caller of the deleted surface was
    migrated by Tasks 4-6.

  Task 8 — Float-aware NoInstance diagnostic: check/lib.rs:856-880
    addendum extended to name `float_eq` / `float_lt` as the
    explicit alternative for Eq/Ord at Float;
    eq_float_noinstance.rs:32-44 assertion extended.

  Task 9 — IR snapshot regen: subsumed by Task 3 (prelude shift
    forced immediate snapshot regen; deferring to Task 9 would
    have left the workspace red between tasks).

  Task 10 — Prose-projection cleanup: 6 comparator arms deleted
    from binop_info; 3 in-source mod-tests updated/deleted
    (comparator-infix rendering would be dishonest now that the
    operators are no longer language identifiers).

  Task 11 — Contract updates: 5 design files rewritten to the
    class-dispatch present —
      float-semantics.md (arithmetic guarantees retained on
        +/-/*/; comparison guarantees transferred from ==/!=/<
        to float_eq/float_ne/float_lt/etc.);
      prelude-classes.md (Eq Unit added to instance list;
        new paragraph on six float_* fns; Float-no-Eq/Ord clause
        gains `→ use float_eq` cross-reference);
      str-abi.md (clause "REMAIN primitive operators" rewritten
        to describe class-method dispatch);
      scope-boundaries.md (multiple operator-name and
        Pattern::Lit-desugar clauses rewritten);
      authoring-surface.md (==, <= dropped from operator-example
        list).

  Task 12 — Initial acceptance gate: workspace 638/0 GREEN;
    bench/compile_check + cross_lang 0 regressed; bench/check.py
    flagged 4 regressions on bench_closure_chain (+29% bump_s,
    +47% rc_s, +29% bump_rss_kb, +48% rc_rss_kb). Orchestrator
    initially classified as DONE-with-concerns; Boss reclassified
    as PARTIAL-via-acceptance-#8-fail after independent re-run,
    extended iter scope to Task 13.

  Task 13 — Direct icmp intercept arms (Boss-extension):
    try_emit_primitive_instance_body gains direct-icmp arms for
    lt__Int / le__Int / gt__Int / ge__Int / ne__Int, bypassing
    the compare__Int → Ordering → match indirection that allocated
    one Ordering ctor per call in tight loops. Each new arm
    inherits `alwaysinline` via the existing allowlist (extended
    accordingly). New IR pin test `ord_int_intercept_ir_pin.rs`
    + smoke fixture `ord_int_intercept_smoke.ail` ratify the
    optimization — opt -O2 -S confirms zero `call
    @ail_prelude_lt__Int` in optimized IR; the icmp folds directly
    at every use site. Bool variants (lt__Bool/etc.) deliberately
    NOT added — no bench/example calls Ord at Bool; spec-extension
    permits skipping if unreachable at bench level. Family can be
    extended symmetrically when first Bool-ordered perf workload
    appears.

Bench-gate post-Task-13: bench_closure_chain bump_s -6.05%,
rc_s -2.67%, bump_rss_kb -0.77%, rc_rss_kb +0.46% — all four
previously-regressed metrics back inside tolerance. Full bench
corpus: 36 metrics, 0 regressed, 0 improved beyond tolerance,
36 stable. bench/check.py exit 0 ✓; bench/compile_check.py exit
0 ✓; bench/cross_lang.py exit 0 ✓.

Workspace: 640 passed, 0 failed across all binaries (delta vs.
milestone start: +5 new E2E/pin tests added in Task 1 + 1 IR pin
added in Task 13 − 9 in-source mod tests deleted as obsolete net
≈ −3). The eq_user_adt_smoke fixture's Unit-opening line was
the deliberate RED-first device added in planner self-review so
the north-star wouldn't accidentally GREEN at start (user-ADT-Eq
on Point with hand-written instance was already operable today;
the milestone's actual delivery is operator-name death + Eq Unit
+ Float-named-fns + cleanup of the two-pathy primitive
comparator machinery).

Net delta: 96 files changed, 1760 insertions, 1101 deletions;
12 net-new files (6 new fixtures, 5 new E2E/pin tests, 1 stats
file). main passes-test-count: 640 (was 633 pre-iter, accounting
for the deletions).

Spec-vs-acceptance addendum: spec §Testing strategy anticipated
the bench-gate-regression case with two recovery paths
(`alwaysinline` investigation or "spec needs revisiting toward α").
Task 13 is the third path — direct intercept arms for `lt`/etc.
that bypass the compare→match path entirely. The spec's contingency
clause was thus generous enough to absorb Task 13 without spec
revision, but a future iter that hits a class-method primitive
where the body shape introduces a similar codegen cost (Ordering
allocation, RC tax, deferred-init) should expect a parallel
extension. The pattern is "primitive instance whose canonical body
indirects through other class methods that allocate" → add a
direct-emit intercept arm + alwaysinline + IR-shape pin.

Concerns absorbed:
  - Codegen lower_app / resolve_top_level_fn gained a
    prelude-fallback lookup so bare monomorphic prelude fns
    (`float_eq` etc.) resolve from non-prelude modules without
    explicit `prelude.float_eq` qualifier. Mirrors the
    typechecker's implicit prelude import — not in plan but
    necessary infra for the named-fn surface to be callable.
  - Recon's "≈10 fixtures" estimate was 6× too low — 58 actual.
    Mechanical migration; no design impact.
  - Recon caught 4 in-source AST-literal sites the spec missed
    (lib.rs:5656 `>=` site + three codegen/lib.rs sites);
    Task 5 covered all.
  - Recon caught 2 contract files outside the spec's update set
    that directly contradicted the milestone (str-abi.md +
    scope-boundaries.md "REMAIN primitive operators" /
    "Pattern::Lit desugar to ==" clauses); Task 11 covered all 5.

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 07f080256c iter remove-mut-var-assign.1: atomic removal of mut/var/assign
mut/var/assign removed from AILang entirely and atomically. Deleted:
Term::Mut/Term::Assign/struct MutVar; the three Form-A keywords +
parse_mut/parse_assign + grammar EBNF; the 4 mut CheckError variants;
the mut_scope_stack synth threading (param dropped from synth + every
internal/external/test caller); the two lower_term arms; and every
exhaustive no-_ Term::Mut/Term::Assign match arm across 17 source
files — cut in lockstep with DESIGN.md, fixtures, the drift trio,
carve-out and roadmap so the schema is honest at every commit. No
catch-all wildcard introduced (verified). loop/recur + let/if are
the surviving forms.

The shared codegen alloca machinery survives (loop reuses it):
mut_var_allocas renamed binder_allocas (representation-only, loop
codegen byte-identical) and the shared Term::Lam escape guard
simplified to !loop_stack.is_empty() with the loop half
(LoopBinderCapturedByLambda) byte-equivalent. Feature-acceptance
applied inverted: the removed feature fails clause 2 (redundant)
and clause 3 (IS the iterated-mutable-state bug class).

Behaviour preservation is executable: mut_counter/mut_sum_floats
still print 55 after the faithful let/if rewrite. The removal is
made executable by the new mut_removed_pin.rs (4 must-fail pins).
Independent verification: cargo test --workspace 605/0, zero
residual mut symbols in any crate source, loop/recur non-regression
all green (55 / 500000500000 / infinite-compiles / the
lambda_capturing_loop_binder pin), roundtrip_cli PASS.

One DONE_WITH_CONCERNS: a 4th recurrence of the recon-undercount
class (in-source mod tests + a drift-pin fn + 5 orphaned mut
.ail.json carve-outs + a non-enumerated E0599); all resolved within
implementer remit, no behaviour change. Milestone-close audit then
fieldtest remain.

Brummel 03fb633d85 iter mut.3: codegen + e2e — mut-local milestone end-to-end closed
Replaces the iter mut.1 dispatch stubs in lower_term with real LLVM
lowering: mut-vars become alloca slots hoisted to the fn's entry
block, assign lowers to store, mut-var reads lower to load. Two
example fixtures run end-to-end printing 55 (Int via mut_counter,
Float via mut_sum_floats).

Concretely:

- Emitter struct gains three new fields: mut_var_allocas:
  BTreeMap<String, (String, Type)> for per-fn name→(alloca SSA,
  AIL type) tracking; pending_entry_allocas: String as a side
  buffer accumulating alloca instructions during body lowering;
  entry_block_end_marker: Option<usize> recording the byte position
  in self.body immediately after the entry: label.

- start_block(label) captures the marker when label == 'entry'.
  emit_fn resets all three new fields per fn body. At the end of
  emit_fn, String::insert_str splices pending_entry_allocas into
  self.body at the marker — alloca instructions land in the entry
  block regardless of where in the source tree Term::Mut was
  encountered (mem2reg eligibility preserved).

- Term::Mut arm: per var, fresh-name an alloca SSA, push the
  alloca instruction into pending_entry_allocas, lower the init at
  the current body position, emit a store to bind. The mut-var
  binding is NOT visible during init (matches typecheck-side
  ordering at lib.rs:3576). After all vars are bound, lower the
  body in the extended scope. On block exit, restore any prior
  bindings via a per-block save stack — supports nested
  shadowing correctly.

- Term::Assign arm: look up the alloca + type via
  mut_var_allocas.get(name); lower the value; emit store; yield
  the canonical Unit SSA per the existing Term::Lit { lit:
  Literal::Unit } convention.

- Term::Var arm: prepended with a mut-var lookup that emits a
  load <ty>, ptr <alloca> and returns the load SSA. Innermost-wins
  shadowing falls out of the BTreeMap's insert-overwrites
  semantics combined with the per-block save/restore.

- examples/mut_counter.ail + examples/mut_sum_floats.ail:
  recursive sum_helper accumulates 1..10 (Int) or 1.0..10.0 (Float)
  inside a mut block whose single var is assigned the helper's
  result. Both run end-to-end printing 55.

- crates/ail/tests/e2e.rs: mut_counter_prints_55 and
  mut_sum_floats_prints_55 #[test] fns using the existing
  build_and_run helper.

- DESIGN.md 'What is supported' subsection: 'Local mutable state'
  bullet describes the new construct, points at the two example
  fixtures, and reaffirms the seal-by-construction invariant under
  Decision 10.

Beyond-plan adjustments absorbed in this iter:
  - synth_with_extras's parallel Term::Var arm in
    ailang-codegen/src/lib.rs needed the same mut-var lookup as
    lower_term's. Plan only specified lower_term's arm.
  - crates/ailang-codegen/src/lambda.rs needed save/restore of all
    three new Emitter fields across the lambda-body boundary plus
    in-thunk splice of pending_entry_allocas at the lambda's own
    entry marker, so mut-blocks inside a closure body hoist into
    the closure's entry block (not the outer fn's).

mut-local milestone end-to-end status:
  - mut.1 (7b92719): AST + Form A surface.
  - mut.2 (b24718a): typecheck.
  - mut.3 (this commit): codegen + e2e.
  Audit follows.

Tests: 592 → 594 green; cargo build green; both fixtures execute
and print 55.
