iter prep.1-type-scoped-namespacing (DONE 5/5): TypeDef-first resolution + workspace pre-pass — closes #31
First iteration of the kernel-extension-mechanics milestone. Ships
the type-scoped `<TypeName>.<member>` resolution path as the
canonical form for type-associated operations, narrows the
`BareCrossModuleTypeRef` / `BadCrossModuleTypeRef` diagnostics from
"bare = strictly local" to "bare = in-scope by any path", migrates
12 std-library example fixtures, and introduces a workspace-wide
normalisation pre-pass `prepare_workspace_for_check` shared between
`check_workspace` and `monomorphise_workspace`.
Architectural discovery during implementation: the plan covered the
`Term::Var` dot-qualified resolver layer plus the workspace
validator's bare-name acceptance, but the migration of bare-form
fixtures exposed five sites where bare vs. qualified type-names
needed symmetric treatment — `Term::Ctor` resolution, `Type::Con`
well-formedness, mono's poly-free-fn name/constraint-count
enumeration, codegen's `lookup_ctor_by_type` bare-name path, and
the upstream desugar-then-qualify composition. Rather than
scattering TypeDef-first ladders across each site, the implementer
centralised the work into one pre-pass that walks every consumer
module's `Type::Con.name` and `Term::Ctor.type_name`, rewriting
bare cross-module references to their qualified `<home>.<Type>`
form. This is symmetric to the pre-existing `qualify_local_types`
(owner-side); the new pre-pass is the consumer-side mirror.
Downstream passes see qualified Types regardless of authoring form.
The TypeDef-first ladder still lives in `synth`'s `Term::Var` arm
because `<TypeName>.<member>` is term-position-only — `Maybe.from_maybe`
is a Var, not a Type expression, and the pre-pass does not rewrite
Var names.
Alternatives considered:
(a) Add TypeDef-first ladder at every resolution site separately
(the plan's implicit assumption). Rejected: O(N) extension
sites, each carrying the same workspace-walking logic; the
pre-pass version is O(1) — one pass, every downstream consumer
benefits.
(b) BLOCKED + spec re-brainstorm. Rejected: the architecture
extension is consistent with prep.1's thesis (bare type-name
resolves to the workspace-wide TypeDef) and forward-compatible
with prep.2 (Term::New.type_name falls under the same rewrite)
and prep.3 (kernel-tier TypeDefs enter the workspace map
automatically). No design regression to bounce back over.
Spec updated to document the realisation mechanism honestly: the
"Realisation mechanism — workspace pre-pass" subsection clarifies
that the resolver-level semantics described in "Implementation
shape" are the user-facing contract, and the actual code path is
the pre-pass.
Verification:
- `cargo test --workspace`: ALL GREEN. 87 e2e + every crate's unit
+ integration tests pass with no regressions.
- Three NEW in-source tests pin Task 1's resolver paths:
`type_scoped_member_resolves`, `type_scoped_member_not_found`,
`type_scoped_receiver_not_a_type`.
- One NEW workspace test pins the narrowed validator:
`ct1_validator_accepts_bare_with_explicit_import`.
- One renamed-and-flipped existing test:
`ct1_validator_rejects_bare_xmod_with_import_candidate` →
`ct1_validator_accepts_bare_xmod_with_import_candidate` (the
bare-with-import path is now ACCEPTED).
- One NEW companion test for the workspace-wide ctor lookup:
`ct2_term_ctor_bare_cross_module_via_workspace_resolves`.
- Two pre-existing tests' assertions updated for the new error
wording: `ct1_check_cli::check_human_mode_emits_actionable_message_to_stderr`
and `crates/ailang-check/tests/workspace.rs::unknown_module_prefix_is_reported`.
- 12 migrated `.ail` fixtures verified via the existing e2e
suite (each fixture is the test runner's target for an existing
`build_and_run` assertion).
- Negative fixture `ct_2_bare_cross_module.ail` semantically
preserved: dropped its `(import std_maybe)` so bare `Maybe` is
out-of-scope under the narrowed rule and still fires
`BareCrossModuleTypeRef`.
Concerns:
- The pre-pass introduces a new architectural layer (consumer-side
qualification) that the spec did not originally anticipate. Spec
amendment in this commit documents the layer. Future iterations
reference `prepare_workspace_for_check` as established
infrastructure.
- `examples/test_ct1_bare_xmod_rejected.ail.json` switched its
offending name from bare `Ordering` (which under the prep.1
semantics may now resolve via implicit prelude) to a still-
unresolvable `Mystery_Type`. The CLI test's intent (assert that
a human-mode `ail check` exits non-zero on a still-RED case) is
preserved.
Milestone status: kernel-extension-mechanics (Gitea #6) advances
1/3 iters. Next: prep.2 (`Term::New` construct) issue #32.

convention: counter-prefix file naming across docs/specs/, docs/plans/, design/contracts/, design/models/
All 176 files in the four accumulating directories now use a zero-padded 4-digit counter prefix that reflects creation order (`NNNN-slug.md`). The counter is assigned per directory in strict git-log creation order; ties broken alphabetically by original name. The old `YYYY-MM-DD-` prefix on docs/specs/ and docs/plans/ files is dropped — the date is recoverable from git log and the counter carries the ordering. A file's counter is stable for the life of the file: never reassigned, never reused, never compacted. Deleted files retire their counter; subsequent files do not fill the gap. This is the property that lets cross-references stay literal — refs use the full filename including the counter (`design/contracts/0007-honesty-rule.md`) so they grep cleanly and resolve directly without a glob step. 313 cross-references updated across .md/.rs/.toml/.c/.json files (test pins, include_str! paths, design-INDEX entries, baseline notes, runtime C comments, inter-contract markdown links incl. bare basename and `../models/foo.md` forms). CLAUDE.md gets a new "File-naming convention" section spelling out the rule and rationale. skills/brainstorm/SKILL.md and skills/planner/SKILL.md updated so new spec/plan creation produces counter-prefixed names from the start. The full test suite (cargo test --workspace) passes. |

iter schema-camelcase-fix.1 (DONE 4/4): paramTypes/retType → param-types/ret-type — closes #30
`Term::Lam`'s two camelCase JSON tags become kebab-case, matching
the convention every other compound-key tag in the AST schema
already follows. After this iter the canonical JSON has zero
camelCase outliers.
## Schema swap (atomic, Task 2)
- `crates/ailang-core/src/ast.rs:492,494` — two
`#[serde(rename)]` strings: `"paramTypes" → "param-types"`,
`"retType" → "ret-type"`. Rust field names unchanged.
- `crates/ailang-core/src/workspace.rs:1925-1926` — in-source
JSON literal in the `ct1_validator_walks_lam_embedded_types`
test.
- `design/contracts/data-model.md:142-147` — fenced JSON block
in the canonical data-model contract. Honesty-Rule touch-point:
the contract document must describe the actual present-state
schema.
- `examples/test_loop_binder_captured_by_lambda.ail.json` and
`experiments/2026-05-12-cross-model-authoring/master/examples/fn_with_lambda.ail.json`
— the two `.ail.json` fixtures whose canonical-JSON embeds
the renamed tags.
The five files moved together within one task because `Term::Lam`
has no `#[serde(default)]` on `param_tys` / `ret_ty` — a
renamed-away key is a hard deserialise error. Splitting the swap
would have left the workspace untestable mid-step.
## RED → GREEN pin (Tasks 1, 2)
`crates/ailang-core/tests/design_schema_drift.rs` gains
`lam_serialises_with_kebab_keys`: pins that `serde_json::to_value(&Term::Lam{...})`
emits `"param-types"` / `"ret-type"` AND does not emit the old
camelCase keys. Companion: the existing
`design_md_anchors_every_term_variant` test now also asserts the
kebab anchors appear inside `data-model.md`'s `lam` fenced block.
Both confirmed RED on entry, GREEN after Task 2.
## Rustdoc honesty pass (Task 3)
Three pure-prose edits keep production rustdoc consistent with
the new schema vocabulary: `crates/ailang-core/src/ast.rs:8` (the
module-level rename enumeration), `crates/ailang-surface/src/parse.rs:81`
(prose mention of `lam`'s carry), `crates/ailang-check/src/lib.rs:1707`
(InstanceMethod routing helper rustdoc). No compile or test
consequence — Honesty-Rule maintenance.
## Plan-pseudo-vs-reality finding: under-audited hash blast radius
The brainstorm spec audited `crates/ailang-core/tests/hash_pin.rs`
exhaustively (5 pinned modules, zero `(lam ...)` occurrences,
"no hash refresh required"). It missed
`crates/ailang-surface/tests/prelude_module_hash_pin.rs` — a
separate hash-pin file in a different crate that pins `prelude.ail`,
which contains 11 `(lam ...)` forms. The prelude module hash
drifted (`6d0577ff0d4e50ac` → `562a03fc57e7e017`); the implementer
refreshed it with a Honesty-Rule provenance comment matching the
precedent set in commit `26fb345`. Form-A is unchanged — only the
canonical-JSON byte stream differs, which is exactly what the
rename targets. The spec-side learning is: schema-rename
brainstorms must walk *every* test crate for hash-pin files, not
just the home crate of the AST.
## Why this shape, and not the alternatives
- *`params-ty` / `ret-ty` (Rust-field-name vibe)* — rejected. The
AST JSON schema follows its own kebab/single-word convention,
not Rust field names. The other multi-word tag (`reuse-as`) is
kebab; abbreviating `params-ty` mixes singular+plural and has
no precedent.
- *Inline typed params as a sub-tag* (e.g. `params: [{name, type}, ...]`)
— rejected. Stronger semantic locality, but it changes schema
topology rather than tag spelling. Out of scope for a camelCase
correction; would have re-pinned far more than this milestone.
- *Bundle with #27 (arith-rename)* — rejected. #27 carries four
open brainstorm questions (mod vs rem, neg vs sub 0, Num class,
deprecation window) and is structurally a separate milestone.
Each gets one re-pin wave with its own rationale; no churn
saving from bundling.
## Honest call on the feature-acceptance gate
Clause 1 (LLM author naturally uses the new form) is the weakest
of the three. Direct empirical evidence is absent — the 2026-05-21
naming-A/B run measured a different axis. The argument is
indirect: a future LLM author generalises from the rest of the
schema ("compound keys are kebab"), and the two camelCase
outliers are precisely the sites where that generalisation
diverged from reality. Clause 2 (redundancy reduction) and
Clause 3 (no semantic surface touched) are direct.
## Forbidden touches verified untouched
`docs/plans/*.md` historic plans (which embed old tag names in
example JSON), `experiments/2026-05-12-cross-model-authoring/master/spec.md`,
`experiments/.../rendered/*.md`, and `experiments/.../runs/**` —
all left as frozen historical artefacts per Honesty-Rule
analogue (describe state at time of writing, not present state).
Verified via `git diff --name-only HEAD` (Task 4 Step 4).
## Verification
- `cargo test --workspace`: all test groups OK, 0 failed,
2 ignored (pre-existing).
- `cargo test -p ailang-surface --test round_trip`: GREEN
(Form-A unchanged invariant).
- New schema-shape pin and the extended data-model anchor walk:
GREEN after Task 2.
- Negative grep across `crates/`, `examples/`, `design/`,
`runtime/`: the only remaining `paramTypes` / `retType`
occurrences in checked-in code are the load-bearing
negative-assertion strings inside the new pin (intentional —
they are what makes the pin RED-able on regression).
- Stats: `bench/orchestrator-stats/2026-05-21-iter-schema-camelcase-fix.json`
— 4/4 tasks DONE, no re-loops, no review-loops.

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

RED: io/print_str must print exactly the bytes of its argument — refs #29
Two RED E2E tests that pin the byte-faithful-print property of io/print_str. Both fail today because the codegen at crates/ailang-codegen/src/lib.rs:2754 lowers the op to a C `@puts` call, which writes the string plus a trailing newline. - io_print_str_does_not_append_auto_newline: (seq (do io/print_str "a") (do io/print_str "b")) → stdout "ab" current: "a\nb\n" - io_print_str_does_not_double_embedded_newline: (do io/print_str "x\n") → stdout "x\n" current: "x\n\n" Assertions compare RAW stdout (no .trim()) — the byte-level property IS the assertion target. Empirically caught in the cross-model-authoring naming-A/B run on 2026-05-21 (experiments/2026-05-21-naming-ab/runs/r1/): Qwen3- Coder repeatedly wrote `(do io/print_str "text\n")` with explicit \n, expecting byte-faithful output, and got doubled newlines — failing every t3_main_prints stdout match across all three cohorts. GREEN side (codegen swap @puts → fputs(s, @stdout) + sweep of existing fixtures that implicitly relied on the auto-newline) is the next commit, via implement mini-mode. refs #29 |

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.

iter boehm-retirement.1 (DONE 10/10): retire the transitional Boehm GC backend
Closes Gitea #4. Removes the Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative GC backend wholesale across six layers in one atomic iteration. After this iter, `AllocStrategy` has two variants (`Rc`, `Bump`), `--alloc=gc` is rejected at CLI parse with `unknown --alloc value`, the libgc link arm is gone, and the design ledger describes RC (canonical) + bump (raw-alloc bench-floor) as the only allocators. Layer-by-layer summary: CLI surface — `crates/ail/src/main.rs`: `parse_alloc_strategy` arm `"gc" => Ok(AllocStrategy::Gc)` removed; error wording updated to `(expected `rc` or `bump`)`; clap-derive `value_parser = ["gc","bump","rc"]` allowlist on BOTH `Build` and `Run` subcommands DROPPED so that `parse_alloc_strategy` remains the sole gatekeeper for the unknown-value diagnostic (otherwise clap shadows the runtime diagnostic with `invalid value 'gc' for '--alloc'`, which would miss the milestone-pin's stderr substring check). The `default_value = "rc"` stays. Codegen — `crates/ailang-codegen/src/lib.rs`: `AllocStrategy::Gc` variant + `Default` derive removed (no caller of `AllocStrategy::default()` existed in the workspace, so the trait derivation was dead). `fn_name` (spec called it `runtime_alloc_fn` loosely; actual identifier is `fn_name`) drops the `Gc => "GC_malloc"` arm. `lower_workspace` and `lower_workspace_staticlib` defaults flip from `Gc` to `Rc`. In-source negative-complement codegen test (mod tests, lib.rs:3571ff) retargets from `AllocStrategy::Gc` to `AllocStrategy::Bump` (bump also doesn't emit per-type drop fns; the test's semantic "no drop fns under non-RC" is preserved). Link branch — `crates/ail/src/main.rs:2389ff`: The `match strategy { AllocStrategy::Gc => { ... cmd.arg("-lgc"); ... } }` arm and its libgc-link block are entirely gone. The surviving match exhausts on `Bump` and `Rc` (Rust's exhaustiveness check confirms; no `error[E0004]`). Staticlib-guard diagnostic rewritten to drop the "shared Boehm collector" phrasing while preserving the prefix `staticlib (swarm) artefact is RC-only` verbatim (the surviving `staticlib_bump_is_rejected` test depends on that substring). Test suite — 3 pure-differential e2e tests deleted (`gc_handles_recursive_list_construction`, `alloc_rc_produces_same_stdout_as_gc`, `alloc_rc_matches_gc_on_std_list_demo`); 9 RC-feature tests stripped of their `stdout_gc` build call and differential `assert_eq!(stdout_gc, stdout_rc, ...)` (absolute `assert_eq!(stdout_rc.trim(), "<n>")` pin retained as correctness oracle); `staticlib_gc_is_rejected` deleted; new milestone-pin `crates/ail/tests/boehm_retirement_pin.rs` asserts `ail build --alloc=gc` exits ≠ 0 with stderr containing `unknown --alloc value` and `\`gc\``; `examples/gc_stress.ail` fixture deleted (no remaining references). Implementer expansion (not in plan): `iter17a_local_box_alloca` (in `e2e.rs`) carried an IR-shape assertion against `@GC_malloc`-absence as the witness for non-escaping allocation. After the Task-2 codegen default flip, the witness shifts to `@ailang_rc_alloc`-absence in escape-targeted positions; assertion + doc-comment updated. Property protected ("no heap allocation in non-escaping contexts") is unchanged; only the named allocator shifts. Bench harness — `bench/run.sh` 9→6 column compaction (workload + bump(s) + rc(s) + rc/bump + bump RSS + rc RSS); gc-arm `bench_latency_implicit_gc` build call + harness invocation dropped from latency block; header comment reframed from "GC-overhead bench harness" to "RC-overhead bench harness"; "Decision 10's Boehm-retirement target (1.3x)" rewording to "RC-overhead-vs-bump bench-health regression gate". `bench/check.py:62` header-sentinel changes from `"gc(s)" in line` to `"bump(s)" in line`; column-count check at `:72` flips from `!= 9` to `!= 6`; per-workload field set drops `gc_s`/`gc_over_bump`/`gc_rss_kb`; `ARM_LABEL_TO_KEY` drops the `"implicit @ gc": "implicit_at_gc"` entry. `bench/baseline.json` regenerated via `--update-baseline`. Implementer note (planner-defect): `write_new_baseline` iterated over the *existing* baseline's metric list when emitting the regenerated file, so even after parser-level `gc_*` removal, the fallback emitted them back into the JSON. Scrubbed post-update; the cleaner fix (have `write_new_baseline` emit only keys present in `parsed_throughput[workload]`) is a follow-up if the script becomes load-bearing for further allocator changes. Design ledger — `design/models/rc-uniqueness.md` excises the `## Dual allocator — RC canonical, Boehm parity oracle` section and the `Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative GC` choice block + rationale + trade-offs; the per-fn-alloca section generalises Boehm-specific language to allocator-agnostic; the memory-model section's `## Choice.` paragraph reframes the 1.3× target from "Boehm-retirement gate" to "bench-health regression gate". `design/models/pipeline.md` drops the `--alloc=gc → links libgc` arm of the pipeline diagram and replaces it with `--alloc=bump → links bump-floor`; the accompanying prose rewrites accordingly. `design/contracts/scope-boundaries.md` rewrites the "Memory management via Boehm conservative GC" bullet to describe RC + per-fn-arena present-tense; the dead reference to `examples/gc_stress.ail.json` (file never existed; the fixture only ever had a `.ail` form, deleted by this iter) is dropped along with the `examples/std_list_stress.ail.json` reference whose purpose was Boehm-only soak testing. `:67`'s `@printf` / `@GC_malloc` parenthetical updated. `design/contracts/memory-model.md:232` drops the "leaks like the pre-Boehm era" phrase; the RC inc/dec instrumentation is wired up, so the "until then" conditional that referenced pre-Boehm is closed. `design/contracts/embedding-abi.md:42-44` rewrites the staticlib-guard prose to drop the `--alloc=gc` clause (gc is now a CLI-parser-level unknown-value, not a staticlib-guard rejection) and reframe the swarm-safety justification around `--alloc=bump` (leak-only bench instrument) rather than the historical Boehm collector. Honesty pin — `crates/ailang-core/tests/docs_honesty_pin.rs` inverts the polarity: the present-tense Boehm-anchor assertion on `pipeline.md` (`:116-117`) is deleted, and four absence-pins are added to `design_md_has_no_wunschdenken` against the Boehm-zombie strings `transitional Boehm`, `parity oracle`, `GC_malloc`, `libgc`. The `design_corpus()` already includes `rc-uniqueness.md` so no path-list change was needed for the new pins to scan. `crates/ailang-core/tests/design_index_pin.rs:166` drops the `"pre-Boehm"` token from the protected-exception comment list (the phrase no longer appears in `memory-model.md` after this iter, so the exception is dead). Runtime docs — `runtime/bump.c`, `runtime/rc.c`, `runtime/str.c` header comments scrubbed of Boehm/`GC_malloc`/`libgc` references. `bump.c`'s function signature description still documents `void *bump_malloc(size_t)` as the bench-floor allocator interface, but no longer cross-references libgc. Example fixtures — `examples/bench_latency_implicit.ail`, `bench_latency_explicit.ail`, `escape_local_demo.ail`, `reuse_as_demo.ail`, `rc_pin_recurse_implicit.ail` doc-comment headers scrubbed of `--alloc=gc` / Boehm references. The `.ail` surface (AST) is untouched in every case; round-trip invariant holds (`cargo test -p ailang-surface --test round_trip` green). Skill / agent prompts — `skills/audit/agents/ailang-bencher.md` rewritten to use an RC-vs-bump worked example pattern for the hypothesis-driven bench tutorial, replacing the recurring "RC vs Boehm under heap pressure" example. `skills/implement/agents/ailang-implementer.md` Decision-10 / Boehm references replaced with present-tense RC-commitment framing. IR snapshots — the 5 checked-in snapshots (`crates/ail/tests/snapshots/{hello,list,max3,sum,ws_main}.ll`) regenerated via `UPDATE_SNAPSHOTS=1 cargo test -p ail --test ir_snapshot`. Each previously contained `declare ptr @GC_malloc(i64)` and (for `list.ll`) a `call ptr @GC_malloc(...)` invocation; post-flip the snapshots contain `declare ptr @ailang_rc_alloc(i64)` plus the rc inc/dec runtime declarations. Spec-vs-acceptance addendum (caught at orchestrator end-report, absorbed here rather than in a follow-up spec edit): spec §6 acceptance criteria said "Boehm-grep returns matches ONLY in docs_honesty_pin.rs". The plan itself prescribed historical Boehm references in 3 additional files: (a) the new milestone-pin `boehm_retirement_pin.rs` (must literally invoke `--alloc=gc` to assert its rejection), (b) `embed_staticlib_alloc_guard.rs` file doc-comment historical note ("`--alloc=gc` no longer exists as a CLI value"), (c) `embedding-abi.md:44-45` contract historical clause ("see the Boehm-retirement iter"). All three are prescribed; the spec's grep wording was too narrow. The four absence-pins in `docs_honesty_pin.rs` catch the actual zombies (Boehm-narrative re-emerging in the design ledger), which is the substantive intent the spec was aiming at — the four extra documented-by-design exceptions are the cost of having an explicit milestone-pin and contract-level historical anchors. Net delta: - 32 files modified, 2 new (boehm_retirement_pin.rs + stats), 1 deleted (gc_stress.ail); - workspace tests: every binary `0 failed`. Pass-count delta: -3 net (4 e2e tests deleted, 1 new milestone-pin test added); - boehm-grep state: hits only in the four by-design exceptions documented above; - `bench/check.py` exit 0 against regenerated baseline; - CLI must-fail fixture: `ail build --alloc=gc examples/hello.ail` exits non-zero with stderr containing `unknown --alloc value` and `\`gc\``; - design ledger present-tense honest (Boehm-narrative gone from `rc-uniqueness.md` + `pipeline.md`; the few historical references in `embedding-abi.md` / `boehm_retirement_pin.rs` / `embed_staticlib_alloc_guard.rs` are explicit milestone-pins or contract anchors, not silent ledger residue). Bench measurement variance noted: closure-chain and hof-pipeline are ±1-5% jittery between runs; one regeneration flagged 2 metrics as `regressed` before a second run returned 0. The captured baseline is within self-comparison range. Existing per-metric tolerances absorb the jitter. Stats file: `bench/orchestrator-stats/2026-05-20-iter-boehm-retirement.1.json`. closes #4 |

iter nullary-app.1 (DONE 5/5): accept (app f) as canonical zero-arg call
Resolves Gitea #12 — the design fork from the 2026-05-20 /boss session, surfaced independently by two prior fieldtests (mut-local F3 + loop-recur `run_forever`). Mechanics, layer by layer: Parser — `crates/ailang-surface/src/parse.rs:1322-1331` drops the 4-line `expected at least one argument` guard in `parse_app_body`. Grammar comments at file top change `term+` to `term*` on both `app-term` and `tail-app-term`; doc comment on `parse_app_body` changes `1+ args` to `0+ args`. Inline comment cites #12 and notes which layers below already accept empty args. Serde — `crates/ailang-core/src/ast.rs:419-425` annotates `Term::App.args` with `#[serde(default)]`, mirroring `Term::Ctor.args`'s *actual* attrs verbatim (no `skip_serializing_if`). Write behaviour unchanged — canonical JSON still emits `"args":[]` for nullary calls; only read behaviour gains tolerance for the `args` key being absent. Verified hash-impact-free at plan time: `grep -rn '"args":\[\]' examples/*.ail.json` returns zero matches, so no existing fixture's canonical bytes shift. Doc-honesty — `design/contracts/data-model.md`: (a) the `app` jsonc shape gains an explicit "args may be empty / read-tolerant" note; (b) the existing `ctor` comment claiming "args omitted when empty" was factually false (Ctor.args has no `skip_serializing_if`; a serde probe at plan time confirmed writes always emit `"args":[]`). Rewritten to describe the actual write/read asymmetry, with a cross-reference to the new `app` note. E2E pin — `crates/ail/tests/nullary_app_e2e.rs` + `examples/nullary_app_smoke.ail`. Defines `greet : fn() -> Unit !IO` and calls it as `(app greet)`; asserts stdout `"hello\n"`. RED→GREEN pin for the parser change AND the milestone-protecting E2E for nullary call surface going forward. Fixture literal is `"hello"` (no `\n`) because `io/print_str` lowers via `puts` which appends a newline — the plan body had a `"hello\n"` literal which would have yielded `"hello\n\n"`; the implementer caught and aligned to the canonical pattern in `examples/hello.ail` while writing the fixture, fix scoped to that single file. Layers below parser untouched: typechecker's arity check at `crates/ailang-check/src/lib.rs:3300` is `args.len() != params.len()` which is `0 != 0 → false` for nullary; codegen's `args.iter().zip(sig.params.iter())` at `crates/ailang-codegen/src/lib.rs:2410` is an empty loop; LLVM `call @ail_<mod>_<name>()` with empty arglist is valid; surface printer's arg-emit loop at `crates/ailang-surface/src/print.rs:430-434` writes nothing for empty args, producing exactly `(app f)`. Verification: full workspace `cargo test --workspace --quiet` green (0 failed across all crates); drift pins `design_index_pin 5/5` + `design_schema_drift 8/8`; round-trip `2/2`; new `nullary_app_e2e 1/1`.

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

test(runtime): RED — whole-valued Float must render with .0 suffix
Adds `examples/print_float_whole_smoke.ail` (single `(app print
2.0)`) and `crates/ail/tests/print_float_whole_e2e.rs`. The test
builds and runs the fixture through the public `ail build` CLI
and asserts stdout is `"2.0\n"`.
Currently FAILS with `left: "2\n"`, `right: "2.0\n"` — runtime
`ailang_float_to_str` uses libc `snprintf("%g", x)` which strips
trailing zeros, so a whole-valued Float prints as Int-shaped
text. The surface printer at
`crates/ailang-surface/src/print.rs::write_float_lit` (lines
624-637) already enforces the `.0`-fallback property; the runtime
drifts. This RED pins the desired symmetry.
The GREEN side will mirror the surface fallback in
`runtime/str.c::ailang_float_to_str` and update the
`floats_e2e.rs` golden (`"4\n42\n-1.5\n"` → `"4.0\n42.0\n-1.5\n"`)
plus the doc comments at `crates/ail/tests/e2e.rs` and in the
runtime/example files that documented the previous `%g`-without-
fallback contract.
The alternative (document `%g`-behaviour in design/ ledger §Float
semantics as a deliberate human-friendly contract) was rejected:
the language's stated ethos is machine-readability + round-trip
identity (CLAUDE.md §"AILang — a language for LLM authors"); the
surface printer is the reference, runtime drift from it is a
defect not a feature.

iter design-md-rolesplit.1 (DONE 9/9): DESIGN.md -> design/ ledger role-split
The 3020-line docs/DESIGN.md is replaced by the design/ ledger:
design/INDEX.md (sole addressable spine, typed Contracts+Models tables,
polymorphic links — prose file OR authoritative source //!), 14
design/contracts/*.md test-linked invariants + 3 source-link-only

test(embed): pin two-record-param per-tick (State, Tick) -> State on the shipped M3 ABI
Coverage backfill for an already-shipped capability — NO language / checker / codegen / schema / runtime change (4 new files, all under examples/ and crates/ail/tests/). Property protected: the M3 export gate is_c_abi_type runs as a per-parameter loop, accepting a single-ctor all-scalar record independently per param; the staticlib forwarder maps every non-scalar Type::Con to a bare ptr (M3-frozen). So a kernel (State, Tick) -> State with BOTH params single-ctor all-scalar records is callable from C today — a record Tick pushed per call, not just a scalar sample. Every shipped M3 fixture pushes a scalar Float; none pinned the two-record-param shape (the actual minimal data-server binding). This is the residual of the retired M4. Added: - examples/embed_backtest_step_tick.ail (own Tick) - examples/embed_backtest_step_tick_borrow.ail (borrow Tick) - crates/ail/tests/embed/tick_roundtrip.c (C host, -DBORROW) - crates/ail/tests/embed_tick_e2e.rs (2 E2E tests) Both E2E tests pass on HEAD (Boss-verified, not just agent-claimed): own + borrow, globally leak-free (Sigma allocs == Sigma frees across the ctx readback + g_rc atexit lines, the M3 dual-stat-line model), acc/n value-correct, exit 0. Independently re-confirms the M4 retirement reasoning: the capability is genuinely present in M3. Honest, deliberately NOT silenced: the new fixtures emit an advisory [over-strict-mode] warning (ail check still exits 0, non-gating) that the M3 scalar-sample original does not. Root cause characterized: a conservative over-strict-mode false-positive whose discriminator is the nested second (match tick ...) — structurally identical `st` handling warns when its term-ctor rebuild is nested inside an inner match. It is advisory only and does not affect codegen, the ABI, or the proven property. The fixture is kept in its LLM-natural form (dont-adapt-tests-to-bugs); the lint precision wart is surfaced as a separate finding, not papered over. |

Tasks 1-5 GREEN. T1 baseline pins (re-point annotation + @ailang_rc_alloc heap-box byte-pin: size=8+n*8, tag@0, fields@8/16). T2 export gate widened (is_c_scalar -> two-level is_c_abi_type: single-ctor all-Int/Float record; multi-ctor/Str/List/nested still RED; gate suite 10/10; M1 adt-ret must-fail re-pointed to multi-ctor+Str Reading). T3 codegen forwarder widened (llvm_scalar record Type::Con -> ptr; M2 forwarder body byte-unchanged; 3/3 staticlib pins). T4/T5 E2E record round-trip own+borrow, global leak-freedom. Boss spec-consistency repair (M2.1-precedent class): orchestrator correctly BLOCKED Task 5 on a genuine spec defect -- the single-ctx-readback allocs==frees proof model is unsatisfiable for borrow (and only coincidentally passes for own) because M2's TLS-ctx is bound only during the synchronous forwarder call, so host-side decs land on g_rc_*, not ctx. Boss-verified globally leak-free + value-correct both modes. Spec + plan + harness amended to the stronger global model (sum all ailang_rc_stats: lines; the M2-TLS cross-attribution documented as correct behaviour).

fieldtest: embedding-abi-m1 — 4 examples, 4 findings (0 bug, 1 friction, 2 spec_gap, 3 working)
Surface-touch fieldtest of M1's (export "<sym>") + --emit=staticlib + scalar/effect-free gate. DESIGN.md + public examples only (no compiler source). The M1 thesis is empirically substantiated: - [working] Int EMA + Float leaky-integrator both first-try clean end-to-end (author -> --emit=staticlib -> C link -> typed scalar return; s==67 / s==1.875, exit 0). Clause-1 confirmed. - [working] Both clause-3 rejections precise + self-correcting (export-non-scalar-signature on IntList param; export-has-effects on !IO). Clause-3 confirmed. - [working] (export) orthogonality + zero-export staticlib guard match spec. - [friction] form_a.md 'wrap every param in own/borrow' misdirects the headline scalar export -> body-pointing use-after-consume / consume-while-borrowed; only bare (con Int) checks. Pre-existing form_a.md defect M1 made acute (not introduced). - [spec_gap] form_a.md item 1 unconditional; scalar params take no mode (shares root with the friction). - [spec_gap] no public emit-ir --emit=staticlib though Decision 5 makes kernel-IR readability load-bearing. Boss verified independently via the public CLI (positive E2E builds both archives; both rejections fire the documented codes). 0 bugs: M1 capability + gate sound. Findings route to the roadmap as follow-up (not M1-blocking, no debug). |

Boss resolution (Option 2, overriding the orchestrator's Option 1, rationale in the journal + plan Design-decision 6): keep descriptive embed_* filenames, rename fixture MODULES to their stems — the C symbol backtest_step stays via (export ...), demonstrating spec Decision 2's mangling- decoupling rather than violating it; archive becomes libembed_backtest_step.a, internal symbol @ail_embed_backtest_step_step, host.c unchanged. Plan fixed (Design-decision 6 + Task-4 module==stem + Task-5/6/7 dependent strings + the no-*. Float-head + content_hash_fn concerns folded). Headline fixture corrected; blocked-Task-4 WIP discarded (recreated by the [4,7] re-dispatch from the fixed plan). PARTIAL commit (not the iter's final commit): the implement Repair path mandates committing the known-good subset so the [4,7] re-dispatch starts from a clean tree that includes Tasks 1-3 (Tasks 4-7 structurally depend on the schema field + surface). INDEX line added when the full iter lands post-re-dispatch. |

fieldtest: remove-mut-var-assign — 4 examples, all working; milestone CLOSED
Post-audit downstream-LLM-author field test of the post-removal Form-A surface. 4 fresh real-world programs written from DESIGN.md + form_a.md + public examples only (no compiler source): running sum-of-squares accumulator (loop/recur → 385), grade cascade (let-threaded if → 4/2/0), Horner polynomial straight-line build-up (let-shadow chain → 73), multi-state bracket scanner threading (rest,depth,ok) by tail recursion → true/false. 0 bugs, 0 friction, 0 spec_gap, 4 working — every task clean and correct on the first try with only let/if/loop/recur; all parse|render|parse byte-identical; zero mut/var/assign tokens produced (a doc-faithful author did not reach for the removed construct). The closest-to-friction case (multi-state machine restates the full state tuple per tail-call) is correctly classified working, not a spec_gap: that explicit-dataflow cost is the local-reasoning pillar working as designed; mut's implicit cross-iteration persistence is exactly the failure class the removal eliminates. mut-keyword rejection is fail-closed with a diagnostic that enumerates the surviving forms (no tombstone, no-nostalgia, as spec'd). Removal thesis empirically CONFIRMED — mut was redundant with let/if/loop/recur in 100% of the fresh tasks. The remove-mut-var-assign milestone is fully ratified and CLOSED: spec+plan+iter, audit clean (architect [high] form_a.md fixed in .tidy, bench causally exonerated), fieldtest clean. Roadmap P0 flipped [~]→[x]; WhatsNew user-facing entry appended. |

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.

iter prose-loop-binders.1: Form-B loop binders as parenthesised init-list
The Term::Loop arm of write_term rendered binders as bare
`name = init;` statements inside the `loop { … }` body block, which
reads as C/Rust re-init-every-iteration semantics — a projection
lying about a body the prose surface exists to let the reader trust.
Rewrite to a parenthesised init-list on the keyword line,
`loop(acc = 0, i = 1) { … }`, positionally isomorphic to the
unchanged Term::Recur arm. Projection-only: loop/recur AST, Form-A,
JSON-AST, typecheck, codegen, and the Form-A↔JSON round-trip

fieldtest: loop-recur — 10 examples, 6 findings (milestone CLOSE, clean on all axes)
Post-audit downstream-LLM-author field test of the shipped loop/recur surface (DESIGN.md + public examples only). 3 real iterative programs (Newton isqrt, Collatz, Euclidean gcd) + 5 plausible-mistake negatives + 2 no-termination probes, all run through the public ail CLI. 0 bugs. 4 working findings on the milestone's own axes: rejection diagnostics point-exact AND self-fixing; recur tail-position threads through match/let/outer-if (spec only showed if); loop composes as a value sub-expression + byte-stable round-trip; no-termination boundary exact. This empirically substantiates the "LLM author can now write iterative programs" claim. Two orthogonal non-blocking findings, neither in loop/recur scope, both routed to P2 todos (refused the scope creep into a loop/recur tidy): niladic (app f) spec_gap independently re-confirms the existing mut-local-F3 roadmap item (the design-fork decision deliberately NOT auto-ratified under /boss — parked, priority-strengthened); module-level (doc) diagnostic-hint friction (one-line tidy). Boss-verified independently (gcd->27; recur-outside-loop fires exact). The standalone loop/recur milestone is fully ratified and CLOSED: 3 iterations + tidy shipped, audit clean (drift resolved, bench pristine carry-on), fieldtest clean on every axis.

fieldtest: mut-local — 6 examples (4 positive + 2 negative probes), 0 bugs / 3 friction / 1 spec_gap
Boss-dispatched fieldtest after audit-mut-local closed. Six AIL
Surface (.ail) fixtures under examples/fieldtest/ exercise the
shipped mut-local surface from a downstream-LLM-author's perspective
(no compiler-source access; DESIGN.md + public examples only).
Positive fixtures all run end-to-end first-try:
- mut-local_1_factorial.ail: straight-line Int accumulator
unroll (5!), prints 120.
- mut-local_2_classify_temp.ail: nested-if assigns into a Unit-
typed mut block, prints classification code.
- mut-local_3_horner.ail: Float mut accumulator for polynomial
evaluation, prints 18.
- mut-local_4_has_small_factor.ail: Bool mut flag via four
if-then-assign checks, prints true.
Negative probes confirm diagnostics fire as documented:
- mut-local_5_lambda_capture_probe.ail: [mut-var-captured-by-lambda].
- mut-local_6_diag_probe.ail: [mut-var-unsupported-type].
Findings:
[friction] F1 — mut without iteration: the accumulator-over-an-
iteration shape never materializes. Without while/for, the LLM-
author still writes a tail-recursive helper (the very pattern
the milestone Goal said mut would replace). examples/mut_counter.ail
illustrates the degeneration. Routing: planner for a while/for
iteration OR tighten DESIGN.md to name the gap honestly.
[friction] F2 — all four mut-related diagnostics emit their
bracketed [code] twice ('error: [code] fn-name: [code] message').
Mechanical bug: the #[error('[code] ...')] Display attributes I
authored in mut.2/mut.4-tidy include the bracketed prefix in the
message body, and the cli-diag-human formatter adds another from
CheckError::code(). Routing: debug (mechanical message-body
cleanup).
[friction] F3 — no surface form to call a zero-arg fn ('(app f)'
rejected at parse with 'expected at least one argument').
Orthogonal to mut-local but surfaced building the closure-factory
probe. Routing: planner for a small tidy iter.
[spec_gap] F4 — DESIGN.md does not name the 'use a tail-rec
helper instead' workaround for the iteration-over-accumulator
shape that mut alone cannot express. Routing: ratify in DESIGN.md
alongside F1's resolution.
[working] W1/W2/W3 — surface reachable on first read; diagnostics
pinpoint cause (mut-assign-out-of-scope even lists available
vars); composes cleanly with if + lambda-without-capture +
final-expression position.

iter mut.4-tidy + audit close — mut-local milestone closed
Tidy iter addressing the audit-mut-local drift. Plus paired baseline
update on bench/baseline_compile.json (audit-skill discipline).
Architect [high] items closed:
1. CheckError::MutVarCapturedByLambda rejects lambdas whose body
free vars include a mut-var of the enclosing mut_scope_stack.
Uses the existing ailang_core::desugar::free_vars_in_term walker
(which honours Term::Match pattern bindings). The scan runs only
when mut_scope_stack is non-empty.
2. crates/ailang-codegen/src/lambda.rs: the capture-not-in-locals
path that previously raised CodegenError::Internal blaming the
typechecker now uses unreachable!. The companion comment block
was rewritten to state the current reality.
Architect [medium] items closed (stale mut.1-stub history comments):
3. docs/DESIGN.md §'Term (expression)' mut/assign block: the
trailing paragraph describing the iter mut.1 stub state was
replaced with one describing the current mut.3-end-state. The
inline jsonc comment on {'t': 'assign'} was updated to drop the
'deferred to mut.2/mut.3' language.
4. crates/ailang-codegen/src/lib.rs: the stale comment block above
the real Term::Mut arm describing the mut.1 stub was removed
entirely.
Other:
- Short-circuit on empty mut_scope_stack in synth's Term::Var arm:
the iter mut.2 prepend now skips the iter-and-find walk when
the stack is empty, eliminating any per-Var-resolution overhead
for the common case (programs with no mut blocks). The
short-circuit did NOT close the check_ms regression — see ratify
below.
- Spec docs/specs/2026-05-15-mut-local.md §'Out of scope' amended
with the lambda-capture rejection bullet.
- Negative fixture examples/test_mut_var_captured_by_lambda.ail.json
+ driver test extension in crates/ailang-check/tests/
mut_typecheck_pin.rs (6th test) +
crates/ailang-core/tests/carve_out_inventory.rs EXPECTED bumped
12 → 13.
Bench-regression ratify:
bench/compile_check.py check_ms showed a uniform ~30-50% relative
shift across the entire 11-fixture suite (~0.5ms absolute on a
1.4-1.5ms baseline). The uniformity across fixtures of very
different Var counts argues for a fixed-cost-per-invocation tax,
not a Var-proportional hot path. The Term::Var short-circuit
falsified the hot-path hypothesis. The plausible remaining causes
(synth-parameter-passing through ~19 recursive sites, and binary-
size startup tax from mut-* adding ~1400 LOC to typecheck/codegen)
are both feature-cost, not pathological. Ratified by paired
journal entry; bench/baseline_compile.json updated to the post-
mut-local numbers via 'bench/compile_check.py --update-baseline'.
bench/check.py continues to show the established tail-latency-noise
envelope from audit-pd (2026-05-14) — no separate ratify needed.
bench/cross_lang.py clean.
Tests: 594 → 598 green (4 new lib.rs mod tests + 1 driver test +
1 fixture-corpus uptake).

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).

iter mut.2: typecheck for Term::Mut + Term::Assign
Replaces the iter mut.1 dispatch stubs in synth with real typecheck
logic. Codegen stubs stay (deferred to mut.3); examples/mut.ail now
typechecks clean but still cannot run end-to-end.
Concretely:
- crates/ailang-check/src/lib.rs: three new CheckError variants
(MutAssignOutOfScope, AssignTypeMismatch, UnsupportedMutVarType)
with #[error('[code]: msg')] Display attrs matching the cli-diag-
human bracketed-code convention; code() + ctx() arms emit
kebab-case codes and structured JSON payloads.
- synth signature: new parameter mut_scope_stack: &mut Vec<IndexMap<
String, Type>> after locals, threaded through every recursive call
site (synth's 18 internal calls + mono.rs:712/1337 re-synth +
lift.rs:723 + builtins.rs test helpers + the mq.3 in-test helper
at lib.rs:6663). Stack is per-walk and lexically scoped — push on
Term::Mut entry, pop on exit. Each frame is an IndexMap so
declaration order is preserved for the diagnostic 'available' list.
- Term::Var resolution: prepended with innermost-first mut-scope
lookup. Mut-vars are monomorphic — no Forall instantiation, no
free_fn_owner recording. Innermost-wins shadowing falls out of
the iteration order.
- Term::Mut arm: gate var types to Int/Float/Bool/Unit only via
a small is_supported_mut_var_type helper; each var's init is
synth'd in the in-progress scope (the var itself is not yet
bound, so it does not self-shadow during init); push completed
frame, synth body, pop. Block's type is body's type.
- Term::Assign arm: walk mut_scope_stack innermost-first looking for
name. On miss: MutAssignOutOfScope with available flattened
across all frames (innermost-first, deduplicated, preserving
order). On hit: synth value, unify against declared type — on
mismatch emit AssignTypeMismatch with rendered types; on success
produce Type::unit().
- Five .ail.json fixtures under examples/ exercising each
diagnostic plus a positive nested-shadow sanity case, driven by
the new pin test crates/ailang-check/tests/mut_typecheck_pin.rs
(load_workspace + check_workspace + assert exact codes).
- carve_out_inventory.rs EXPECTED extended 7 → 12 to cover the new
negative-fixture set (consistent with the form-a-default-authoring
spec §C4(b) precedent for type-rejection fixtures staying as
.ail.json-only).
Plan deviations from recon: three additional synth() call sites
beyond the four enumerated (lift.rs:723, builtins.rs x2,
lib.rs:6663) surfaced via the build-red structural signal; each
threaded with a fresh empty stack. carve_out_inventory.rs extension
was required by the existing pin but not named in the recon — a
documentary concern for the next planner pass.
Tests: 579 → 592 green; examples/mut.ail typechecks clean
('ok (26 symbols across 2 modules)') via cargo run --bin ail --
check examples/mut.ail; cargo build green; full workspace test

iter mut.1: AST extension + Form A surface for local mutable state
First iteration of the mut-local milestone (foundation step on the
Stateful-islands roadmap path). Lands the schema + surface tier:
Term::Mut, Term::Assign, and the nested MutVar struct become
first-class AST nodes that round-trip cleanly through Form A.
Typecheck and codegen recognition are deferred to mut.2 and mut.3
per the spec's out-of-iteration boundary; reaching either dispatch
entry point with these variants produces CheckError::Internal /
CodegenError::Internal with a 'deferred to iter mut.{2,3}' message.
Concretely:
- crates/ailang-core/src/ast.rs: two new Term variants behind
#[serde(tag = 't')]; pub struct MutVar { name, ty, init } adjacent
to Arm. Two canonical-bytes pin tests for the explicit-empty-vars
serialisation and the assign round-trip.
- ~25 substantive Term-walker arms across ailang-core/desugar,
ailang-core/workspace, ailang-check (lib + lift + linearity + mono
+ pre_desugar_validation + reuse_shape + uniqueness),
ailang-codegen (escape + lambda + lib), ailang-prose, and
crates/ail/src/main.rs. Universal policy: substantive recurse-into-
children at every site; only the two dispatch entry points
(synth in ailang-check, lower_term in ailang-codegen) stub with
Internal-error. One test-side walker arm in
crates/ail/tests/codegen_import_map_fallback_pin.rs not
enumerated by the plan was added as well (defensive recursion).
- ailang-surface: parse_mut + parse_assign helpers; Term::Mut
body desugared from a flat statement sequence into a right-folded
Term::Seq chain inside the JSON-AST. Print arms in print.rs match
the parser convention. EBNF prologue + crates/ailang-core/specs/
form_a.md productions updated. Four new parser pin tests cover
the empty-mut, single-var, body-required, and vars-only-no-body
cases.
- Drift + coverage tests extended: design_schema_drift.rs adds two
exemplars + match arms; schema_coverage.rs adds two VariantTag
entries + EXPECTED_VARIANTS + visit_term arms; spec_drift.rs adds
two exemplars + match arms. DESIGN.md §'Term (expression)' gets
jsonc-blocked schemas for the two new variants.
- examples/mut.ail: six-fn round-trip fixture exercising empty mut,
single-var, two-var, nested-shadow, and the four supported scalar
return types (Int, Float, Bool, Unit). The round_trip auto-glob
and schema_coverage corpus walker both pick it up.
Plan deviation: the plan named lib.rs:2572 as the typecheck
dispatch stub site, but that line is actually verify_tail_positions
(substantive walker). The real dispatch is synth (3403-area, stub
at 3489); the orchestrator routed correctly.
Tests: 564 → 579 green; cargo build green; round-trip green for
the new fixture; all drift + coverage tests green.

iter pd.3: prelude.ail.json retired — milestone prelude-decouple closed
Deleted examples/prelude.ail.json (-559 lines). The cross-form-identity preflight test that ratified pd.3's load-bearing assumption at module hash 3abe0d3fa3c11c99 has discharged its purpose and was removed along with its supporting bytes; the long-term prelude_parse_yields_canonical_hash anchor stays. The ail-CLI migrate-bare-cross-module-refs subcommand's defensive include + lockstep skip-branch removed; the rewrite logic's prelude-fallback capability silently retired with the synthetic insert (known debt, doc-comment updated to reflect). One in-mod core test relocated to crates/ailang-core/tests/workspace_pin.rs (pd.2.4 dev-dep cycle precedent — in-mod call to ailang_surface still structurally impossible). carve_out_inventory.rs: 8 → 7 carve-outs, §C4(b) row dropped, header sentence updated. form-a-default-authoring.md §C4(b) gets a "RETIRED 2026-05-14 by milestone prelude-decouple" status marker; original historical text preserved. New prelude_decouple_carve_out_pin.rs asserts examples/prelude.ail.json does NOT exist. Milestone prelude-decouple closed: prelude exists on disk only as examples/prelude.ail; ailang-core embeds zero prelude bytes; CLAUDE.md "authors write .ail" doctrine holds without exception. cargo test --workspace 573 green; bench/cross_lang.py + bench/compile_check.py exit 0; bench/check.py exit 1 with the established noise envelope (14th observation of bench_list_sum.bump_s since audit-cma; pd.3 is filesystem + spec text + test deletion only, no codegen / runtime / typecheck path edited — baseline pristine).

docs/specs/2026-05-14-retire-per-type-print-effects.md. After this
iter the only surviving direct-output effect-op is `io/print_str`;
all per-type print primitives are replaced by the polymorphic
`print` helper (prelude, iter 24.3).
Components:
- 92 examples/*.ail fixtures migrated (do io/print_<T> x) →
(app print x); 6 .prose.txt snapshots regenerated via `ail prose`.
- Four-site lockstep compiler deletion: crates/ailang-check/src/builtins.rs
(3 effect_ops.insert blocks + 3 list() rows + the
install_io_print_float_signature test + module + EffectOpSig
doc-comments); crates/ailang-codegen/src/lib.rs lower_app
(3 arms + lowers_io_print_float test); crates/ailang-codegen/src/synth.rs
builtin_effect_op_ret match-arm pattern. Dead `intern_string`
helper removed as a follow-up.
- Five incidental test-body migrations (ailang-check x2, ailang-core
spec_drift + design_schema_drift, ailang-surface/src/lex.rs,
ailang-prose/src/lib.rs round-trip test).
- Cat B test-harness patch: six IR-shape tests in
crates/ail/tests/e2e.rs gained a monomorphise_workspace call
before lower_workspace_with_alloc so they follow the same
pipeline as `ail build` (the home-rolled desugar+lift loop
stayed because mono's precondition is "already lifted"; mono
inserts after lift).
- Six doc-comment touch-ups (lex.rs module doc, parse.rs
diagnostic example, ail/src/main.rs x2, runtime/str.c %g anchor,
crates/ailang-core/specs/form_a.md surface-spec example).
- DESIGN.md seven-site sweep (Decision 11 example, Polymorphic
print past-tense, Heap-Str output sentence, effect-op
invocation comment, Float NaN paragraph re-anchored on
float_to_str, two "What is supported" lists).
- Three E2E test-comment polish + four IR-snapshot refresh + one
canonical-hash pin update (plan-unanticipated downstream
consequences of the corpus migration).
- bench/{check,compile_check,cross_lang}.py: all exit 0; no
ratification needed.
- Roadmap entry struck through; per-iter journal at
docs/journals/2026-05-14-iter-rpe.1.md.
Tests 564/0/3. cargo clippy and cargo doc: zero warnings.
Two upstream codegen bugs surfaced during the first BLOCKED
attempt and were fixed in separate iters before this retry:

bugfix: print leak — propagate ret_mode through rigid substitution
`(app print x)` under --alloc=rc leaked the heap-Str allocated by
`show x` in print's body: the let-binder `s` in
`(let s (app show x) (do io/print_str s))` was never flagged
trackable, so the drop site at scope-close emitted no
`ailang_rc_dec(s)`. Minimal repro `(body (app print 42))` produced
`allocs=1 frees=0 live=1`.
Root cause is two-layer:
1. examples/prelude.ail.json declared the Show class method `show`
without an explicit `ret_mode` on the return type, so serde
defaulted to ParamMode::Implicit. Fix: add `"ret_mode": "own"`
on the Show.show method, parallel to how the heap-Str-producing
builtins (int_to_str, bool_to_str, float_to_str, str_clone,
str_concat) declare it. examples/prelude.ail regenerated via
`ail render` to stay parse-isomorphic with the JSON.
2. crates/ailang-check/src/lib.rs `substitute_rigids` was silently
stripping `param_modes` and `ret_mode` whenever it rebuilt a
`Type::Fn`, so even after the prelude fix, the mono-synthesised
`show__Int / Bool / Str / Float` lost the `Own` annotation
during rigid substitution. Fix: preserve both fields through
the substitution.
RED pin: crates/ail/tests/print_no_leak_pin.rs (test
`alloc_rc_print_int_does_not_leak_show_result_str`) + fixture
examples/print_int_no_leak_pin.ail asserts allocs == frees and
live == 0 for `(body (app print 42))` under --alloc=rc.
Ten mono-body hash pins re-recorded (eq__Int/Bool/Str,
compare__Int/Bool/Str, show__Int/Bool/Str/Float, eq__IntBox) —
the bodies are semantically identical; the canonical JSON now
carries the previously-stripped mode metadata, so the body hash
moves. Re-pinning is bookkeeping for the intentional drift, not
a workaround.
Surfaced 2026-05-14 during the rpe.1 BLOCKED orchestrator run
(Cat A). Existed in latent form since iter 24.3 (when Show + print
shipped); only became user-observable when `(app print ...)` joined
the corpus. cargo test --workspace: 565 / 0 / 3.
Open follow-up flagged for next /audit: grep for `Type::Fn { ..., .. }`
field-spread sites — any other shape that drops modes during
rebuild is a latent instance of the same bug class. Out of scope
for this minimal fix.

bugfix: mono cursor misalignment at poly-free-fn Var with class-constrained Forall
When `synth` visits a `Term::Var v` where v is a polymorphic free fn whose `Type::Forall` carries class constraints (e.g. `print : forall a. Show a => ...`, `lt`/`le`/`gt`/`ge : forall a. Ord a => ...`), it pushes BOTH a class `ResidualConstraint` for each constraint AND a `FreeFnCall` observation at the same Var site. The mono walkers (`interleave_slots` collection-side and `rewrite_mono_calls` rewrite-side) consumed only ONE slot per such Var, leaving the class-residual cursor misaligned for every subsequent class-method call in the same body. The next `eq`/`compare` Var in the body then consumed the leftover `Show T` / `Ord T` slot and was mis-rewritten — codegen reported `call prelude.show__Bool arg type mismatch: expected i1, got i64` (or the Int dual). Fix: new `poly_free_fn_constraint_counts_for_module` registry in mono.rs (sibling to `poly_free_fn_names_for_module`) maps each synth-visible poly-free-fn name to its declared constraint count. Threaded into `collect_residuals_ordered`, `interleave_slots`, and `rewrite_mono_calls`. Both walkers now advance the cursor by 1 + N (FreeFn slot + N class-residual fillers) at every poly-free-fn Var. RED test `print_with_class_method_arg_does_not_misalign_mono_cursor` (crates/ail/tests/show_print_e2e.rs) + fixture examples/print_eq_arg_repro.ail pin the bug — body `(app print (app eq 1 2))` previously crashed at codegen, now prints "false". Bug surfaced 2026-05-14 during the rpe.1 BLOCKED orchestrator run; existed in latent form since iter 24.3 (the poly-free-fn-with-class- constraint synth shape was new there). No schema / codegen / DESIGN.md changes. cargo test --workspace: 564 / 0 / 3. |

iter str-concat: heap-Str concatenation primitive in four-site lockstep
Closes fieldtest-form-a friction finding #4. `str_concat : (borrow Str, borrow Str) -> Str` ships in the four-site-lockstep pattern established by `str_clone` / `int_to_str` / `bool_to_str` (iter 24.1). The LLM-natural Show-MyType body `(app str_concat "label=" (app int_to_str x))` now parses, checks, builds, and runs end-to-end. Sites touched (lockstep): - runtime/str.c — `ailang_str_concat(a, b)` slab-allocates and memcpys both source payloads into a new heap-Str. - ailang-check/src/builtins.rs — `env.globals.insert("str_concat", Fn { 2x Str borrow, ret Str own, effects [] })` + `list()` row + `install_str_concat_signature` unit test. - ailang-codegen/src/lib.rs — `declare ptr @ailang_str_concat(ptr, ptr)` extern + `lower_app` arm after str_clone + `is_builtin_callable` extension + IR-pin unit test `str_concat_emits_call_to_ailang_str_concat`. - examples/show_user_adt_with_label.ail (new) + crates/ail/tests/ str_concat_e2e.rs (new) — corpus fixture exercising the LLM-natural Show body shape + E2E pin asserting check + build + run produce `Item 42\n`. Lockstep collision repaired: examples/bug_unbound_in_instance_method.ail used `str_concat` as its UNBOUND name (because that was the literal fieldtester repro). Renamed to `format_label` (LLM-author-realistic helper name that will never become a builtin) and updated the pin test `crates/ail/tests/unbound_in_instance_method_pin.rs` accordingly, preserving the regression guard's intent (instance-method-body walked through unbound-var check). DESIGN.md amended: new §"Heap-Str primitives" subsection between the milestone-24 Show-backer enumeration and the existing `Primitive output goes through ...` paragraph, cataloguing all five heap-Str primitives (`int_to_str`, `bool_to_str`, `float_to_str`, `str_clone`, `str_concat`) with signatures, iter origins, and the user-visible-vs-prelude-internal distinction. Show-backer block unchanged. IR snapshots regenerated (hello, list, max3, sum, ws_main) to absorb the new `declare ptr @ailang_str_concat(ptr, ptr)` line in the unconditional extern header — same upkeep pattern as hs.4 which regenerated the same 5 snapshots for the same reason (unconditional declares dead-stripped by clang -O2 when unused). Tests: 559 + 3 = 562 green (E2E pin + builtin-signature test + IR-pin test). Zero re-loops across all 7 tasks. |

debug: RED-pin for instance-body unbound-var bug
ail check returns ok for a program that references an unbound identifier inside an instance method's lambda body. The error surfaces later at ail build as a degraded mono-pass diagnostic (monomorphise_workspace: unknown identifier) without source location, symbol kind, or "did you mean" candidates. Cause: check_def at crates/ailang-check/src/lib.rs:1593 early- returns Ok(()) for Def::Instance without walking method bodies. The arm's comment promises instance-body typechecking from iter 22b.2; that wiring was never implemented. Only the workspace- load coherence checks (Orphan/Duplicate/MissingMethod) touch instance defs, and they inspect schema only, not the method- body identifier graph. This commit lands RED only. GREEN follows via implement mini- mode. Fixture: examples/bug_unbound_in_instance_method.ail RED test: crates/ail/tests/unbound_in_instance_method_pin.rs - check_fires_unbound_var_for_str_concat_in_instance_method_body - check_json_unbound_var_in_instance_method_body |

fieldtest-form-a: 4 fixtures + spec report; agent doctrine update
Boss-dispatched fieldtest at milestone close. Agent authored 4 .ail fixtures (factorial smoke + Show user-ADT + user-class Describe with two instances + two-module workspace) from DESIGN.md + form_a.md only (no compiler-source reads, no spec-of-milestone reads). All four fixtures `ail check` ok and `ail run` produces expected stdout. Findings (1 bug, 1 friction, 2 spec_gaps, 3 working): - [bug] instance-method-body unbound-var bypasses `ail check` — forma_3 first attempt called `str_concat` inside the instance method body; `ail check` returned ok, `ail build` died with the monomorphise_workspace "unknown identifier" diagnostic. Same shape at fn-body level correctly fires `[unbound-var]` at check time. Next: debug skill, RED-first against `ail check`. - [friction] no `str_concat` primitive. Every realistic Show MyType body wants string concatenation; the absence forced the agent to shape examples around bare int_to_str / ctor-arity-1 patterns. Next: small planner tidy iter wiring `str_concat` symmetric to `str_clone` and `int_to_str`. - [spec_gap] form_a.md has zero references to class, instance, constraint, or method productions — pre-22 surface only. The form-a-default-authoring milestone made .ail the authoring form, but the form_a spec doc remains pre-typeclass. - [spec_gap] form_a.md leaves the class-qualifier ambiguity in `(instance (class X))` unspecified — bare-class-name vs canonical- form rule from mq.1 is not documented at the surface level. The agent picked the bare-name reading from the corpus; the canonical- form reading is equally plausible from the schema. Boss-side cleanup at commit time: - Deleted 8 stale .ail.json sidecars in examples/fieldtest/ (4 forma_* derived by the fieldtester per old dual-form workflow + 4 pre-existing floats_* from the prior fieldtest milestone that iter form-a.1 T8 missed because the bash deletion loop globbed only examples/*.ail.json direct children). - Updated skills/fieldtest/agents/ailang-fieldtester.md to remove the now-obsolete "generate canonical JSON sidecar" step (Phase 3 rewritten + Iron Law + Reading list + Common Rationalisations + Red Flags all aligned to the post-form-a single-form doctrine). cargo test --workspace: 557 passed, 0 failed, 3 ignored (unchanged from audit-form-a — the fieldtest fixtures are standalone, not referenced by any test). Findings deferred to follow-up iters; the milestone close itself is still clean. |

iter form-a.1 (Tasks 6-12): milestone close
Second half of the form-a-default-authoring milestone-close iter
(Boss-decided strategy C, big-bang). All seven tasks DONE; cargo
test --workspace green at every per-task boundary.
T6 — Bench-driver suffix flip from .ail.json to .ail across 4
Python scripts + run.sh. compile_check.py + cross_lang.py exit 0.
T7 — Re-author e2e.rs raw-JSON-inspect tests:
- diff_detects_changed_def — derive sum.ail.json on-the-fly via
`ail parse examples/sum.ail` into tempdir, then mutate + diff.
- borrow_own_demo_modes_are_metadata_only — same pattern.
- reuse_as_demo_under_rc_uses_inplace_rewrite — same pattern.
- render_parse_round_trip_canonical — RETIRED (subsumed by T1's
cli_parse_then_render_then_parse_is_idempotent over whole corpus).
- ail_run_accepts_ail_source_with_same_stdout_as_ail_json —
re-authored to derive hello.ail.json in a per-process tempdir
from hello.ail via `ail parse`, then assert dual-form stdout.
T8 — Bulk-delete 156 non-carve-out .ail.json. Inventory:
8 .ail.json (carve-outs, alphabetical: broken_unbound + prelude
+ 3× test_22b2_* + 3× test_ct1_*) + 157 .ail. carve_out_inventory
test un-#[ignore]'d and green. Forward-pulled 20 repairs that the
T1-5 dispatch's recon missed (12 Group-B suffix + 5 Group-A
load_workspace + 3 ail_run sites). Also forward-pulled T9 Step 5
(schema_coverage corpus flip from .ail.json to .ail) to satisfy
T8's green-gate.
T9 — Retire obsolete roundtrip tests:
- print_then_parse_round_trips_every_fixture (round_trip.rs)
- every_ail_fixture_matches_its_json_counterpart (round_trip.rs)
- cli_render_then_parse_preserves_canonical_bytes_on_every_fixture
- Dead helpers: list_json_fixtures ×2, round_trip_one,
strip_trailing_newlines.
Schema-coverage corpus already flipped in T8 (forward-pull).
T10 — DESIGN.md §"Roundtrip Invariant" (lines 2027-2109) restated
with parse-determinism + idempotency + CLI-pipeline-idempotency +
carve-out-anchor framing. Five surviving enforcement tests named.
§"Float literals" and §"Why anchored at top level" preserved.
T11 — §A4 doctrine edits: CLAUDE.md:5-6 + DESIGN.md:465-466.
Canonical form remains JSON-AST; authoring projection is .ail;
build derives JSON-AST in-process via ailang_surface::parse.
T12 — Milestone close:
- WhatsNew entry: user-facing language, lead with the change.
- Roadmap: [milestone] form-a struck [x] with closing note.
- Final inventory verified: 8 .ail.json + 157 .ail.
- Final cargo test --workspace: 557 passed, 0 failed, 3 ignored.
- bench/compile_check.py + bench/cross_lang.py: exit 0.
Test math: pre-iter 558 baseline + 3 new T1 tests = 561, − 1

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. |

iter form-a.0: prelude pilot — examples/prelude.ail rendered
First iteration of the form-a-default-authoring milestone. Mechanical: one `ail render examples/prelude.ail.json > examples/prelude.ail` captures the canonical Form-A projection (116 lines / 6386 bytes). No source-code edits, no test edits. The two auto-discovering roundtrip tests in crates/ailang-surface/tests/round_trip.rs pick up the new fixture via read_dir without test changes and both pass: - every_ail_fixture_matches_its_json_counterpart — the .ail parses to canonical bytes byte-equal to prelude.ail.json (gate test). - parse_then_print_then_parse_is_idempotent_on_every_ail_fixture — the Form-A printer is idempotent over prelude. cargo test --workspace green at 558 tests (identical to pre-iter baseline; audit-24 / iter-24.tidy lineage). prelude.ail.json retained per spec §A2 — this is the singular dual-form iter; iter 1 deletes it alongside the bulk test-infra refactor. Zero re-loops, zero review-phase repairs. Recon predictions matched reality exactly (116 lines, 6386 bytes, `(module prelude` header, 558-test baseline). Strong signal that the iter-1+ bulk migration mechanism is sound. |

iter 24.3: fn print + E2E + 3 compiler-path repairs; milestone 24 close
Ships fn print : forall a. Show a => (a borrow) -> () !IO in the
prelude with explicit-let body \\x -> let s = show x in do
io/print_str s. Three new E2E fixtures + tests verify the full
path:
- show_print_smoke: 4 primitives smoke (print 42 / true / 'hello' /
3.14) — compile, run, expected stdout
- show_user_adt: data IntBox + instance prelude.Show IntBox +
print (MkIntBox 7) — stdout '7'
- show_no_instance: let f : Int -> Int = \\x -> x in do print f —
fires Show-aware NoInstance with DESIGN.md §Prelude(built-in)
classes cross-reference
IR-shape pin in print_mono_body_shape.rs asserts post-mono
print__Int.body is structurally Term::Let → App(show__Int) →
Do(io/print_str). Protects the explicit let-binder for the heap-Str
RC discipline per eob.1 Str carve-out.
Three plan-defects-fixed-inline surfaced during user-ADT E2E,
necessary repairs to make the spec's stated user-ADT trajectory
work end-to-end:
(a) mono.rs (2 sites): MonoTarget::FreeFn::type_args were carrying
bare type-cons references; normalised to canonical
<owner>.<bare> form via workspace_registry.normalize_type_for_lookup
so synthesised cross-module bodies' post-mono walks reach the
registry-keyed instance entries. Symmetric to the existing
class-method-arm normalisation.
(b) codegen/lib.rs (3 sites: resolve_top_level_fn, lower_app
cross-module arm, synth_with_extras Var arm): post-mono
synthesised bodies may carry cross-module references to modules
their source template didn't import (prelude.print__<UserType>
references show_user_adt.show__<UserType> even though prelude
does not import user modules). Fall back to direct
module_user_fns lookup when prefix not in import_map. Both
ends were independently typechecked before mono ran; the
cross-module ref is created by mono not by source.
(c) lib.rs synth FreeFnCall arm: walked Type::Forall.constraints,
substituted rigid vars with fresh metavars, pushed one
ResidualConstraint per declared constraint. Without this,
print f at Int -> Int would silently typecheck and fail with
a confusing 'unknown variable: show' at codegen rather than
fire the right typecheck-time NoInstance diagnostic.
NoInstance Float-aware arm in check/lib.rs:770-779 extended with
a parallel class == 'prelude.Show' branch that cross-references
DESIGN.md §Prelude(built-in) classes verbatim. Negative-fixture
test asserts code 'no-instance' + Show substring + Prelude-(built-in)-
classes substring.
DESIGN.md §Prelude(built-in) classes milestone-24 paragraph flips
fn print from 'ships in 24.3' to 'shipped in iter 24.3' with body
shape + pin file reference. §Float semantics gains a Show-Float
NaN-spelling cross-reference paragraph linking show 1.5 / show nan /
show inf to instance Show Float via float_to_str.
Roadmap P1 'Post-22 Prelude — Show + print rewire' flipped to [x]
with closing summary naming all three shipped iters (24.1 / 24.2 /
24.3). New P2 entry 'Retire io/print_int|bool|float effect-ops +
migrate example corpus to print' inserted at top of P2.
Tests: 556 passed (was 552 + 4 new). bench/cross_lang exit 0;
bench/compile_check + bench/check exit 1 on documented noise-class
metrics per the audit-cma lineage envelope (8th consecutive
audit-grade observation, baseline pristine per conservative-call).
Milestone 24 closes structurally with this iter. Standard audit
pipeline next.

iter 24.2: class Show + 4 primitive instances + 22b TShow migration
Ships class Show a where show : (a borrow) -> Str in the prelude
plus primitive Show Int / Bool / Str / Float instances. Each
instance body is a single-application lambda invoking the
corresponding runtime primitive (int_to_str, bool_to_str,
str_clone, float_to_str) — first prelude instance bodies to call
runtime primitives directly. Float is included in Show (unlike
Eq/Ord) because textual representation is well-defined modulo the
NaN-spelling caveat at DESIGN.md §Float semantics.
The 22b typeclass test corpus is migrated preemptively: 21 fixture
files and 6 consumer files (typeclass_22b{2,3}.rs +
hash.rs ct4 pin + workspace.rs iter22b1 tests + the
instance_present.prose.txt snapshot) rename class Show / show
to class TShow / tshow, analogous to the existing TEq/TOrd
convention. Migration runs before the prelude additions so the
workspace stays green throughout.
Three new tests pin the post-mono shape: show_mono_synthesis.rs
(existence of show__Int/Bool/Str/Float as Def::Fn entries in the
prelude post-mono module), show_dispatch_pin.rs (bare show and
tshow both Step-2 singletons workspace-globally),
mono_hash_stability.rs::primitive_show_mono_symbol_hashes_stay_bit_identical
(body hashes pinned for the 4 new mono symbols).
DESIGN.md §Prelude (built-in) classes drops Show from the
deferred-features list and appends a milestone-24 paragraph
naming the class signature + the 4 instances + the body shape.
print rewire stays deferred to iter 24.3.
Tests: 552 passed (was 548 + 4 new). bench/compile_check +
bench/cross_lang exit 0. bench/check exits 1 on the recurring
noise envelope per the conservative-call lineage.

iter mq.3: retire MethodNameCollision + multi-class E2E + DESIGN.md sync
Closes the module-qualified-class-names milestone. Deletes the workspace-load workaround; the two-libraries case now resolves via type-driven dispatch at the call site with explicit qualifier as the LLM-author's disambiguation tool. Resolves both mq.2 known-debt items (active_declared_constraints plumbing, (class,method) re-key). New synth warnings channel emits class-method-shadowed-by-fn at all three fn-precedence branches per spec section Class-fn collisions. Three new E2E fixtures + integration tests cover the ambiguous, qualified, and class-fn-shadow trajectories. DESIGN.md class-names paragraph rewritten, new section Method dispatch added. Roadmap P2 marked done, milestone-24 unblocked for re-brainstorm. 9/9 tasks. 545 tests green. bench/compile_check.py + cross_lang.py exit 0; bench/check.py exit 1 (2 noise-class regressions, runtime uncoupled to typecheck iter). |

iter mq.1: class-ref canonical-form extension + workspace-internal class-name qualification

Type::Con.name rule. ClassDef.name stays bare.
validate_canonical_type_names gains three field-walks via new

ClassMethodEntry.class_name, class_superclasses, mono's
class_index, Origin::Class.class_name. New qualify_class_ref
helper at workspace.rs scope plus sibling
qualify_class_ref_in_check in ailang-check.
Two new positive on-disk fixtures (mq1_xmod_constraint_class{,_dep})
exercise the qualified Constraint.class shape.
Recon claim that all existing fixtures' class-refs are intra-module
was empirically wrong — 10 fixtures required minimal canonical-form
migration. Duplicate-instance test architecturally restructured:
post-mq.1 orphan-freedom makes two-modules-on-same-(class,type)
structurally impossible; new test_22b1_dup_same_module fixture
lands both instances in the class's module.
Plan defects fixed inline: Origin::Class.class_name single
construction site (plan recon off-by-one); build_class_index in
mono.rs needed qualifying; build_module_globals needed Def::Instance
carve-out; check_fn declared-constraint matching needed inline
canonical-form lifting; NoInstance Float-aware message arm needed
prelude.Eq/prelude.Ord match; coherence type-leg needed qualified-
head split-and-lookup. Tasks 3-6 ran as one coherent fix.
7/7 tasks, 520 tests green. bench/compile_check.py + cross_lang.py
exit 0; bench/check.py exit 1 (4 improvements-beyond-tolerance,
audit-ratifiable, not a regression).
MethodNameCollision + dispatch path unchanged; iters mq.2 + mq.3
land them.

iter 24.1: bool_to_str + str_clone runtime + codegen wiring
First iter of milestone 24 (Show + print rewire). Wires two new heap-Str-producing primitives parallel to hs.4's int_to_str / float_to_str: - runtime/str.c gains ailang_bool_to_str(bool) → heap-Str "true" / "false" and ailang_str_clone(const char *) → memcpy'd heap-Str copy. Both use the existing str_alloc slab helper. - builtins.rs + synth.rs install the two signatures lockstep with ret_mode: Own; str_clone carries param_modes: [Borrow]. - IR-header preamble gains two unconditional `declare ptr @...` lines; Emitter::lower_app gets two new arms; is_static_callee whitelist extends with the two names. - Five IR snapshots regenerate for the two new declares. - Pre-existing-drift fix: int_to_str row added to builtins.rs::list() (hs.4 installed env.globals entry but missed the list() row). Substantive deviation flagged by orchestrator (DONE_WITH_CONCERNS): builtin signatures registered in uniqueness.rs::infer_module and linearity.rs::check_module_with_visible (8 LOC × 2 files), symmetric to iter 23.4-prep's class-method registration in the same globals maps. Without this fix str_clone's param_modes: [Borrow] is invisible to the App-arg walker, src_heap walks as Position::Consume, the scope-close ailang_rc_dec is gated off, and the str_clone_cross_realisation_uniform_abi test's plan-literal `frees == 3` assertion does not hold. The fix is the substantively correct repair, not a design departure. 9 new tests: 2 builtins-install unit, 2 IR-shape unit pins, 5 E2E (2 RC-stats, 2 stdout-smoke for both Bool branches, 1 cross- realisation). 4 new .ail.json fixtures. Full cargo test --workspace: 513 passed, 0 failed. bench/compile_check.py: 24/24 stable. bench/cross_lang.py: 25/25 stable. |

iter eob.1: effect-op args walk as Borrow; heap-Str RC discipline closes
Language rule: Term::Do.args[*] are walked in Position::Borrow by
the uniqueness + linearity passes, symmetric to Term::Ctor.args[*]
being walked in Position::Consume. The kind itself carries the
ownership default — no per-op field on EffectOpSig. Three
analyser sites flip in lockstep: uniqueness.rs:289, linearity.rs:506,
and the shared doc-comment at linearity.rs:42.
Heap-Str-specific consequences (closing hs.4's leak):
- int_to_str / float_to_str ret_mode: Implicit → Own at four lockstep
sites (builtins.rs:200,210 + synth.rs:172,179). The codegen
trackability gate (drop.rs:464-475, iter 18g.2) now fires on these
callees, so the let-binder receives a scope-close drop.
- drop_symbol_for_binder's App arm gets a Type::Con{name:"Str"} →
"ailang_rc_dec" carve-out, symmetric to field_drop_call's existing
Str arm. Without it, the new Own-trackable App binder would emit
drop_<m>_Str (undefined).
