spec: raw-buf — re-carve drop ratification to raw-buf.5, retirement to .6 (refs #7)
raw-buf.4 (RawBuf payload + Term::New desugar) implemented and about to
land, but it surfaced that the drop ratification was mis-scoped: the
flat drop FUNCTION is emittable in .4, but the drop CALL needs a codegen
resolution mechanism the .4 plan did not scope. An owned RawBuf binder's
value is a cross-module type-scoped intrinsic call ((app RawBuf.set ..) :
own (RawBuf a)); codegen's is_rc_heap_allocated only marks an App binder
drop-trackable when synth_callee_ret_mode resolves the callee's Own mode,
but codegen synth_arg_type has no TypeDef-first / cross-module-mono
resolution ladder (unlike the checker's lib.rs:3465), so the binder is
non-trackable and no drop call is inserted. A second site
(uniqueness::infer_module's per-module globals) misses the cross-module
borrow mode too.
Re-carve (six iterations; .1-.4 done, .5/.6 remain):
raw-buf.4 — RawBuf payload + Term::New desugar + flat drop FUNCTION
(DONE). Worked program prints 60; Float/Bool/reject ship.
raw-buf.5 — owned cross-module type-scoped drop-call resolution: a
TypeDef-first + cross-module-mono arm in codegen
synth_arg_type feeding is_rc_heap_allocated /
synth_callee_ret_mode / drop_symbol_for_binder, plus
cross-module op visibility in uniqueness::infer_module.
Ratified by raw_buf_no_leak (live == 0).
raw-buf.6 — kernel_stub retirement (was .5).
Also documents the raw-buf.4 diagnostic-behaviour change: because the
Term::New desugar now runs before check, (new T ..) with a missing
new-op surfaces type-scoped-member-not-found (more precise) rather than
the prep.2 new-type-not-constructible it supersedes; new-arg-kind-mismatch
is obsoleted (the desugar drops the type-arg). Same rejection conditions,
preserved. And corrects the @ailang_rc_release spec slip to the real
symbol @ailang_rc_dec.
The drop-call resolution is its own iteration for the same reason
raw-buf.3 became a mechanism prep: it is a codegen-resolution mechanism
(parity with the checker's type-scoped/cross-module ladder), separable
from the RawBuf payload, and isolating it keeps the resolution change
off the .4 payload diff.

spec: raw-buf — re-carve .3/.4/.5, type-scoped polymorphic intrinsic prep (refs #7)
Second re-carve. Planning raw-buf.3 (via plan-recon) surfaced that
RawBuf's ops are a THIRD intrinsic shape the intrinsic-bodies mechanism
never handled: type-scoped polymorphic top-level intrinsics (forall a,
param-in {Int,Float,Bool}, called as RawBuf.get). The existing bijection
+ symbol story covers only monomorphic top-level intrinsics (answer,
float_*) and per-type class-method instances (eq__Int).
The gap (both confirmed in source by recon + grounding-check):
- mono_symbol_n mints <base>__<T> from the bare fn name, so RawBuf.get
@ Int → get__Int — the RawBuf scope never enters the symbol;
new/get/set/size @ Int would collide with any other poly free fn of
those (very common) names.
- the bijection collector's Def::Fn arm records the bare name "get" as
one marker, matching neither the per-type entries nor their symbols;
one polymorphic marker must map to N per-element entries, which the
1-marker-to-1-entry bijection cannot express.
So raw-buf.3 is no longer "add 12 table rows" — it is a new language
mechanism. Re-carve (3 remaining iterations):
raw-buf.3 — type-scoped polymorphic intrinsic mechanism: scope-
qualified mono symbols (RawBuf_get__Int) + bijection-
collector expansion over param-in. Built and ratified
standalone on the stub (a StubT.peek op + its 2 scoped
entries + mono/bijection unit tests), the prep pattern
prep.1/.2/.3 used. No RawBuf, no Term::New dependency.
raw-buf.4 — RawBuf payload (module + 12 scoped entries + drop) +
Term::New desugar ((new RawBuf ...) sugar, removes both
deferral arms). Pure consumer of .3. Worked program → 60.
raw-buf.5 — kernel_stub retirement (peek + answer + stub leave;
RawBuf carries all roles).
Decided design (Option A): scope-qualified symbols, not bare. Rationale
is semantic — the type-scoped call convention RawBuf.get should carry
through to a collision-free, IR-legible symbol; bare get__Int is a
latent collision landmine on the most-reused op names. Removing that
collision class is itself feature-acceptance criterion-3 evidence.
The raw_buf module Form-A in § Concrete code shapes is gate-verified
(ail check → ok, 35 symbols / 3 modules). Grounding-check PASS: all 10
current-behaviour assumptions ratified by named green tests; the
Term::New codegen-deferral (lib.rs ~2096 + ~3298) is the same
about-to-be-deleted prep.2 transient, reported-not-blocked (consistent
with the override logged on

spec: raw-buf — 3-iter base-extension milestone (refs #7)
First new milestone after kernel-extension-mechanics close.
RawBuf is the canonical kernel-tier *base* extension: mutable,
indexed, bounded-size flat buffer of primitive elements
({Int, Float, Bool}, restricted via prep.3's param-in). It
unblocks two downstream needs already in the backlog:
- series milestone #8 — library-tier ring buffer wrapping RawBuf.
- Embedding-ABI batch-FFI (subsumes closed #2) — the M5
friction-harvest measured per-tick FFI at ~206 ns/tick on
real EURUSD volume; RawBuf is the contiguous-slice primitive
that amortises that per-tick cost.
The milestone also fulfils the whitepaper § "Plugin contract"
commitment: the migration of the hardcoded
try_emit_primitive_instance_body into a registry is triggered
by the first real base extension shipping.
Decomposition (R — registry-first refactor, 3 iters):
raw-buf.1 — Intercept registry refactor. Lift the existing
hard-coded match (eq__Str, compare__Int|Bool|Str, float_*) into
a registry table. Zero behavioural change; ratified by the
existing E2E suite (eq_primitives_smoke / compare_primitives_smoke
in e2e.rs, float_compare_smoke, eq_ord_polymorphic). Pure
refactor — the cleanest possible bisection target.
raw-buf.2 — RawBuf kernel-tier manifest + checker side. Rename
crates/ailang-kernel-stub/ → crates/ailang-kernel/ and reshape
as a family-crate (src/{kernel_stub,raw_buf}/{mod.rs,source.ail});
public surface preserved via re-exports. Consumer code with
(con RawBuf (con Int)) passes ail check; ail build fails with
intercept-not-registered — that diagnostic IS the ratification.
raw-buf.3 — RawBuf codegen intercepts + Term::New desugar +
stub retirement. Register 12 element-type-specialised entries
(4 ops × {Int,Float,Bool}); lower via @ailang_rc_alloc +
getelementptr + load/store. Desugar (new T args) →
(app T.new args) so Term::New is eliminated before codegen
(completes the prep.2 deferral). Retire the kernel_stub
submodule + the round-trip test at design_schema_drift.rs:743;
ailang-kernel crate stays as the family-crate for future
series/matrix/… modules.
Ordering rationale: raw-buf.1 ships zero behavioural change so
its failure mode is "existing tests break" — cleanest bisection.
raw-buf.2 ships the checker-visible surface on an unchanged
codegen substrate, so its failure mode is checker-isolated.
raw-buf.3 lands codegen on a registry that has already absorbed
every legacy intercept, so the RawBuf entries do not co-mingle
with a registry move.
Kernel-tier crate organisation: rejected pro-modul-crate
(crates/ailang-series/, crates/ailang-matrix/, ...) for sublinear
scaling and onboarding locality; rejected sub-Cargo-crates under
crates/ailang-kernel/ (C1) for Cargo-boilerplate overhead with no
real consumer benefit at AILang's scale. C2 (one family-crate,
sub-folders per module, lib.rs re-exports) keeps Cargo dep
surface flat (ailang-surface needs one dep, not N) and stub
retirement is a submodule delete + re-export drop.
Out of scope: bounds checks (caller checks via RawBuf.size per
whitepaper — UB-on-overflow is the contract), RawBuf.fill /
.copy / .iter (deferred until series or Embedding-ABI concretely
asks), record element types (SoA — Forward Axis).
Grounding-check PASS on 10 load-bearing assumptions about
current code state (intercept dispatch site, existing E2E
ratifiers, ailang-kernel-stub crate layout, parse_kernel_stub
location).
Brainstorm → planner handoff: first iteration scope is raw-buf.1
(§ Architecture point 1, § Components row 1).
