docs(design): ratify the check→codegen boundary (mir.5, typed-MIR close)
mir.5 is the typed-MIR milestone's closing iteration. Its CODE half had
already converged before the iteration began, so mir.5 ships no code —
it ratifies into the design/ ledger the boundary the code already holds.
Verified at iteration entry (empirically, not from the spec sketch):
- all four named re-derivers grep-clean in codegen: synth_with_extras,
synth_arg_type, type_home_module, the second infer_module_with_cross;
- lower_workspace takes &MirWorkspace (codegen consumes MIR);
- MTerm::New is unreachable!() — raw-buf.4 desugars Term::New to
(app T.new …) before codegen, so there is no element-type
re-derivation left to relocate;
- #51 / #53 (the element-type / new-T codegen crashes) are closed;
their residue was fixed by

feat(codegen): StrRep loop-carried Str ⇒ Heap, close the #49 recur leak
mir.4 closes bug #49 (a heap-Str loop binder replaced across `recur`
leaks every superseded slab; the loop result leaks too) structurally,
by making every Str a loop binder holds OR a loop returns an owned heap
slab — then deleting the `!is_str` carve-out from BOTH codegen gates
that carried it. The leg-by-leg `!is_str` patches are gone.
Mechanism (the milestone thesis: representation in MIR, codegen reads
it). lower_to_mir sets rep = StrRep::Heap on every Str literal in a
loop-carried position; codegen's MTerm::Str arm promotes a Heap literal
via ailang_str_clone (a fresh ailang_rc_alloc slab, rc_header refcount
1). Three promotion positions, all in the Loop/Recur lowering:
1. binder seed inits (is_str_ty on the binder type);
2. recur args at Str-binder positions (read off the innermost
loop_stack frame);
3. exit-arm tail result literals (promote_tail_str_literals walks the
loop body's tail positions when the loop returns Str).
With every loop-carried Str now owned-heap, both gates lose !is_str:
the recur superseded-value dec (lib.rs) frees each intermediate slab;
the loop-result trackability gate (drop.rs:493) lets the caller's
scope-close free the final slab.
Why both gates, and the planning-time error this corrects. The original
plan/spec scoped the deletion to the recur dec gate only, reasoning the
#49 loop result is "consumed by print". The implement-orchestrator
landed that scope (Tasks 1-2) clean and correctly BLOCKED: it took #49
from live=3 to live=1, the residual being the loop RESULT. I verified
the diagnosis empirically:
- print BORROWS its arg (prelude: `(let s (show x) (do io/print_str
s))`, the eob.1 heap-Str discipline), so `(print s)` does not free
the loop result; the caller's let-binder does, via drop.rs:493.
"consumed by print" != "freed by print" — that was the error.
- Deleting drop.rs:493's !is_str takes #49 and the recur-literal
fixture to live=0.
- Deleting drop.rs:493 WITHOUT exit-arm promotion SIGSEGVs (exit 139)
on a loop returning a static Str literal — hence the third
promotion position and the static-exit witness.
The agent surfaced a real spec defect via an empirical BLOCK rather
than guessing; I corrected the spec refinement note (both gates, three
positions) and completed the loop-result leg inline, the context
already loaded from verifying the BLOCK (CLAUDE.md "already loaded
context" carve-out). drop.rs:493's Str carve-out is now sound to delete.
Boundary (asserted ill-typed, not constructible): a borrowed static-Str
Var seeded/recur'd into a consumed Str loop binder — rejected upstream
by uniqueness (a consumed binder position is owned).
Verification (orchestrator-run): all four leak fixtures reach live=0
under AILANG_RC_STATS — #49 (xyyy), recur-literal (reset), static-exit
(result), and the

plan(mir.4): StrRep loop-carried Str ⇒ Heap, delete the recur !is_str gate
mir.4 closes bug #49 (a heap-Str loop binder replaced across `recur` leaks every superseded str_concat slab, live=3) structurally rather than with a fourth leg-by-leg patch. Design calls made in planning (folded into the spec as the mir.4 refinement note): - Mechanism: producer-side representation, codegen reads it — the milestone thesis. lower_to_mir sets rep = StrRep::Heap on every MTerm::Str literal that flows into a Str loop-binder alloca (seed inits AND recur args at Str-binder positions); codegen's MTerm::Str arm gains a Heap leg that promotes the static literal via ailang_str_clone (fresh ailang_rc_alloc slab, rc_header refcount 1). No special-casing in the codegen Loop/Recur store arms — the clone is emitted automatically when the Str{Heap} node is lowered. - Recur args are promoted too, not just seeds: `(recur "reset" …)` is well-typed (verified: `ail check` accepts it), and a seed-only promotion would leave a static literal under the now-unconditional dec — a constructible UB hole. Soundness over minimalism on the highest-risk RC/drop surface. - Only the recur dec gate (lib.rs:2231) loses !is_str. The drop.rs loop-RESULT trackability gate (drop.rs:493) STAYS conservative: deleting it needs a broader "every Str a loop can return is owned-heap" guarantee (a static exit-arm literal breaks it) and is not required by the #49 acceptance (the #49 loop result is consumed by print). drop.rs is untouched. - Boundary (out of scope, asserted ill-typed): a borrowed static-Str Var seeded/recur'd into a consumed Str loop binder is rejected upstream by uniqueness (a consumed binder position is owned), so it is not constructible. Plan 0119 carries exact code per step: producer rep promotion + a loop-frame-driven Str-binder mask for recur args (reusing the existing ctx.loop_stack, no new ctx field), the codegen Heap leg, the gate deletion, the #[ignore] lift on the #49 pin, a recur-literal witness fixture + runtime pin proving the recur-arg leg, and the full-suite + ir_snapshot verification. The existing lower_to_mir_ty Static-seed pin flips to assert Heap. |

feat(codegen): fill MArg.mode for App args, read the anon-temp drop gate off it, delete module_def_ail_types (mir.3b)
Second of two iterations delivering spec 0060's mir.3 row (plan docs/plans/0118-mir.3b-marg-mode-and-table-delete.md). lower_to_mir's Term::App arm fills each MArg.mode from the resolved callee's param_modes (the sig = synth_pure(callee) it already holds); codegen's emit_call anon-temp borrow-slot drop gate reads arg.mode instead of re-looking-up the callee's param_modes from the module_def_ail_types table; and — since that gate was the table's only reader — the module_def_ail_types field plus all its construction and threading are deleted. Two refinements to the spec's mir.3b sketch, settled in planning from a focused recon and recorded in spec 0060: 1. module_def_ail_types is deleted in mir.3b, not mir.5. A grep proved self.module_def_ail_types had exactly ONE reader (the anon-temp gate); the own-param drop reads param_modes from the def's own f.ty, not this table. Once the gate moves onto MArg.mode the table is dead, so it is removed now rather than carried as dead code to mir.5. The mir.5 row's "last re-derivation residue" shrinks to the element-type / Term::New (New.elem) work. 2. MArg.mode is filled for App args only; MTerm::Let.mode is not filled. Only App args have a real per-arg mode source (the callee Type::Fn.param_modes). Do args (EffectOpSig has no param modes), Ctor args (no per-field mode), and Recur args (loop binders carry no mode) stay Mode::Owned. Let.mode has no source (ast::Term::Let has no mode field) and no consumer (the let-drop gate reads consume, not Let.mode), so it stays Owned — filling it would invent a value nobody reads. Safety property held: MArg.mode is filled from the same callee fn-type the gate read from the table, so the drop fires identically. For (app RawBuf.get (app RawBuf.set …) 0), RawBuf.get's param 0 is borrow, so args[0].mode = Borrow — exactly the value module_def_ail_types yielded. Confirmed by the anon-temp witness staying green. ParamMode -> Mode conversion: Borrow -> Mode::Borrow; Own and Implicit (the Implicit ≡ Own contract) -> Mode::Owned. The own-param drop keeps reading ParamMode off f.ty (Type/ParamMode imports retained, live readers at lib.rs:1356/1507). Also retires three now-stale doc comments that named the deleted module_def_ail_types field (ailang-check/src/lib.rs, uniqueness.rs, and the codegen_import_map_fallback_pin test doc) — a direct consequence of the deletion, reworded to the current architecture. Verification (orchestrator, post-implement inspect): diff matches the plan (App-arg m_args built before m_callee consumes sig — the benign borrow-order deviation the plan's note flagged); module_def_ail_types grep-clean across all of crates/; cargo build --workspace clean (no unused/dead_code); cargo test --workspace 702 passed / 0 failed / 3 ignored (+1 = the new producer pin app_arg_carries_callee_borrow_mode; no #[ignore] added). The anon-temp drop-correctness witness raw_buf_owned_drop_balances_rc_stats stays live=0, now driven by MArg.mode; the other RC-stats leak pins green; #49 stays #[ignore] (mir.4); #51/#53 build guards green. mir.3 is now complete (3a relocated consume_count + deleted the second uniqueness run; 3b filled the mode annotation + deleted module_def_ail_types). Remaining: mir.4 (#49 StrRep RED->GREEN), mir.5 (element-type/Term::New + ledger). |

feat(codegen): relocate per-binder consume_count into MIR; delete codegen's second uniqueness run (mir.3a)
First of two iterations delivering spec 0060's mir.3 row (plan docs/plans/0117-mir.3a-consume-count-relocation.md). The per-binder consume_count — the only thing codegen read from its second infer_module_with_cross run — now lives on a new binder-keyed MirDef.consume: BTreeMap<String,u32>, filled once by lower_to_mir on the post-mono body. Codegen builds its existing (def,binder)->consume_count lookup from those maps and the three scope-close drop sites (own-param, let-binder, match-arm) read it; the codegen uniqueness run, its UniquenessTable field, and the import are deleted. mir.3 is split into two iterations (recorded in spec 0060): the named deletion depends ONLY on consume_count. All three drop sites read consume_count from self.uniqueness, while the modes they also gate on (param_modes for the own-param dec, scrutinee_is_owned for the match dec) come from the type, not the uniqueness pass (UniquenessInfo carries no mode). So mir.3a relocates consume_count and ships the deletion; mir.3b (next) fills MArg.mode/MTerm::Let.mode and switches emit_call's anon-temp gate onto MArg.mode. The split halves the change at the codebase's highest-risk surface (RC/drop correctness, the raw-buf leak saga) and makes each half independently verifiable against the live=0 leak pins. Design: consume_count lands on MirDef (binder-keyed), NOT on MArg. The drop sites key by (def, binder_name) — a per-binder aggregate — while the spec-sketched MArg.consume_count is per-arg-position and never reaches them; the per-def map matches the UniquenessTable's own keying and all three binder kinds (param/let/pattern) uniformly. MArg.consume_count stays a mir.1 default. Source = run check's infer_module_with_cross inside lower_to_mir post-mono (the synth_pure single-engine-re-walked pattern); retaining a check-time result is blocked (check's uniqueness is pre-mono and runs on-demand-from-codegen, never in check_workspace, so it would miss the mono specialisations). cross_module_types (= codegen's module_def_ail_types) is rebuilt in elaborate_workspace from the post-mono workspace. Safety property held: this is a PURE RELOCATION of an identical computation — infer_module_with_cross ran on the post-mono module in codegen and now runs on the same post-mono module in lower_to_mir, so drop placement is byte-identical. cross_module_types matches module_def_ail_types exactly (both insert f.name->f.ty over post-mono Def::Fn), confirmed by the leak pins staying green. Verification (orchestrator, post-implement inspect): diff matches the plan; codegen grep-clean for infer_module_with_cross + UniquenessTable (now ailang-check-internal); cargo build --workspace clean (no errors, no unused warnings — module_def_ail_types survives for emit_call's anon-temp param_modes gate); cargo test --workspace 701 passed / 0 failed / 3 ignored (+1 = the new producer pin mirdef_consume_is_populated_for_let_binder; no #[ignore] added). The live=0 drop-correctness witnesses all green: alloc_rc_loop_valued_rawbuf_binder_drops_at_scope_close (#43/#47), alloc_rc_heap_loop_binder_replaced_by_recur_does_not_leak, alloc_rc_print_int_does_not_leak_show_result_str. #49 stays #[ignore] (mir.4); #51/#53 build guards green. |

feat(codegen): pre-resolve the App callee in MIR; delete is_static_callee + type_home_module (mir.2)
Second re-deriver removal of the typed-MIR milestone (spec
docs/specs/0060-typed-mir.md, plan docs/plans/0116-mir.2-callee-static.md).
Static-callee resolution moves out of codegen and into lower_to_mir:
every Term::App callee is classified once, mirroring check's own synth
Term::Var ladder (lib.rs:3409-3582), and emitted as a resolved Callee.
Codegen reads the callee identity off MIR and routes each kind to the
right lowering. The codegen re-derivers is_static_callee and
type_home_module are deleted, and the lower_app <-> is_static_callee
lockstep pair is struck from CLAUDE.md.
Callee reshape (beyond the spec's original {module, fn_name} sketch —
spec 0060's Concrete-code-shapes block is updated in this iteration):
pub enum Callee {
Static { module, fn_name, sig: Type }, // user/prelude fn -> emit_call, module pre-resolved
Builtin { name, sig: Type }, // operator/intrinsic -> inline opcode lowering
Indirect(Box<MTerm>), // dynamic: fn-pointer / closure / shadowed name
}
Two forced refinements, both settled in planning:
- sig:Type on each resolved variant. drop::synth_callee_ret_mode reads
the callee ret_mode, today off Callee::Indirect(inner).ty(). A
resolved callee has no sub-term, so the sig (= synth_pure(callee),
mode-preserving) is the lossless replacement. This is NOT a mir.3
pull-forward: the MArg param-mode / consume_count fields stay at their
mir.1 defaults. Without it, every statically-resolved call would lose
its drop signal and the RawBuf / int_to_str RC-stats pins mir.1b fixed
would regress.
- Builtin variant. Operators and the str-num builtins (+, not,
str_concat, ...) are lowered inline by name and have no module/fn_name;
a separate variant is cleaner than a sentinel module. The classifier
decides Builtin vs Static from CHECK'S OWN resolution (a name in
env.globals with no owning module is a builtin), never a copy of
codegen's old is_static_callee allowlist. The recon's divergence audit
confirmed check's builtin set and codegen's inline-arm set match
exactly, so the single-engine rule is mechanically satisfiable with no
env threading gap.
type_home_module is fully deletable: a workspace-wide grep confirmed no
program references a type-scoped T.fn as a value, so its only other
consumer (resolve_top_level_fn) collapses to the module-name fallback
with no behaviour change. (The spec's "x3 mirrors" wording over-counted;
the live surface was the definition plus two call sites.)
Alternatives rejected during planning: sentinel module in Static
(ugly); builtins left as Indirect (breaks — no fn-pointer for an
operator); name-rewrite Static{name,sig} keeping lower_app's by-name
dispatch (blurs builtin/user and still needs sig). The mir.1b
re-synth-strictness trap (post-mono synth_pure re-unify surfacing
mode-strip / bare-vs-qualified / metavar leaks) did NOT fire under the
new producer path — qualify_local_types mode-preservation and the $u
wildcard normalisation from mir.1b held.
Verification (orchestrator, post-implement inspect): diff matches the
plan; grep-clean for is_static_callee + type_home_module across
ailang-codegen and ail; cargo build --workspace green; cargo test
--workspace 700 passed / 0 failed / 3 ignored (no #[ignore] added this
iteration — the 3 are the pre-existing #49 Str-leg pin + two doctests).
Acceptance witnesses green: #53 (mono_new_over_user_adt_builds_and_runs),
#51 (rawbuf_new_int_size_only_builds_and_runs still builds), show_print
cross-module (print_user_adt_runs_end_to_end), the new mir.2 pins
(mir2_resolved_callee_kinds_run_end_to_end, callee_classification_*,
strengthened new_over_user_adt_carries_node_types asserting Callee::Static).
#49 heap-Str loop binder stays #[ignore] (lifts at mir.4).
Two new examples/ fixtures back the new pins (classify_pin.ail for the
producer classification pin, mir2_callee_kinds.ail for the E2E),
ail-parse / round-trip clean.
Forward note (cycle-close architect): crates/ail/tests/codegen_import_map_fallback_pin.rs:14-15
doc prose names lower_app's cross-module arm and synth_with_extras as
failure-mode targets — both now deleted (mir.2 / mir.1b). The pin's
protected invariant is still valid and green; the prose is stale and
wants a doc-honesty reword, left out of this iteration's footprint.

spec: typed-mir — place lower_to_mir post-mono, correct one-engine framing
plan-recon flagged that monomorphise_workspace runs between check and codegen, and codegen lowers the post-mono workspace. The first draft of this spec placed lower_to_mir as the final phase of check_workspace (pre-mono) and claimed "nothing re-walks the AST". That is wrong on both counts: - Built pre-mono, MIR would not carry the monomorphic specialisations monomorphise_workspace appends — exactly the post-mono bodies codegen emits today — reintroducing the check↔codegen gap this milestone exists to close. - synth is a pure `&Term → Type` function and the authoring AST carries no node-ids, so MIR cannot be a side-table read off a check pass; it is built inline by a walk. The honest property is therefore not "no second walk" but "no second *engine*": codegen's synth_with_extras is a hand-copied mirror of synth that drifts (every raw-buf bug is a drift point). The milestone replaces the mirror with a single post-mono call to canonical synth, materialised as MIR. Corrections: architecture diagram and data flow now run check → lift → monomorphise → lower_to_mir; lower_to_mir is wrapped by a new front-end entry elaborate_workspace that subsumes the lift+mono orchestration the CLI does today; check_workspace stays for the diagnostics-only path (`ail check`). Node count fixed 27 → 17 Term variants (ast.rs:436). Re-dispatched grounding-check after the edit (post-PASS edit invalidates the prior report) — PASS, all load-bearing post-mono assumptions ratified against live code (main.rs build order, mono.rs synth use, 17-variant Term, no node-ids). |

spec: typed-mir check→codegen boundary contract
Open a new milestone introducing a typed mid-level IR (`ailang-mir`) as the single artefact crossing the check → codegen boundary, so codegen re-derives nothing. Root cause (architect drift review): the boundary today carries no typed artefact. `crates/ail/src/main.rs:2293` calls `check_workspace`, discards the result, and hands `lower_workspace` the raw `Workspace`. `CheckedModule` (ailang-check/src/lib.rs:1283) carries only top-level (Type, hash). Codegen therefore re-runs four independent derivations of what check already proved — type synthesis (`synth_with_extras`), callee resolution (`type_home_module` ×3 + `is_static_callee`), uniqueness/mode (`infer_module_with_cross`, second run), and Str representation (`!is_str` recur gate). Every raw-buf bug (#43/#46/#47/#49/#51/#53, all "check-clean, build-divergent") is a point where one of those re-derivations disagreed with check and got patched one leg at a time. Honest framing: this is removal of a re-derivation architecture, not a RED→GREEN of crashing programs. #51 and #53 build today (patched by |
