feat(lang): eliminate the Implicit ownership default — totality + the drop-soundness it demasks (#55)
Deletes `ParamMode::Implicit`. `ParamMode` is now `{Own, Borrow}`:
every fn-type slot on every signature carries an explicit `own` or
`borrow`, no defaulted position survives anywhere (model 0008 §2,
spec 0062). The parser rejects a bare fn-type slot; `borrow-return`
and `borrow-over-value` reject at the signature; the corpus is
migrated to minimal-ownership modes (consumed ⇒ own, read-only-heap
⇒ borrow, value ⇒ trivial-own). The documented `Implicit`-ret-mode
leak is fixed: an owned heap return now drops exactly once (live=0,
acceptance criterion 5).
This was the easy half. Removing the default ACTIVATED a family of
drop paths that `Implicit` had silently skipped — the pre-cutover
language was leaking (and in places mis-dropping) here rather than
crashing, because an Implicit scrutinee turned the drop off. Making
the modes explicit (Own) turned those paths on and exposed two
latent-bug clusters, all fixed RED-first as part of this cutover:
Drop-soundness family (four legs):
A. lit-sub-pattern double-free — the desugar re-matched the same
owned scrutinee in the lit fall-through; fixed by grouping
consecutive same-ctor arms into one match (bind fields once),
in ailang-core desugar.
B. Cons-husk leak on non-tail arm bodies — the lit-sub-pattern
desugar rebound the owned scrutinee via `Let $mp = xs`, which
bumped consume_count and suppressed the existing fn-return
partial_drop. Fixed by not rebinding a bare-Var scrutinee
(one husk-freeing mechanism, not two).
C. polymorphic `drop_<T>` rc_dec'd monomorphised value fields —
the per-ADT drop fn was emitted once from the polymorphic
TypeDef, defaulting type-var fields to ptr and rc_dec'ing
inline Ints (segfault). Fixed with per-monomorph drop
functions (new ailang-codegen::dropmono): the drop set is
collected from the lowered MIR, value-type fields are skipped,
heap fields still freed once; monomorphic-concrete ADTs keep
their byte-identical un-suffixed drop symbol.
D. static Str literal passed to an `(own Str)` param — the
literal lowers to a header-less rodata constant; the callee's
now-active rc_dec read its length field as a refcount and
freed a static address (segfault). Fixed with the missing
fourth StrRep::Static→Heap promotion in lower_to_mir's App arm,
gated on Own mode (borrow args stay static, no regression).
over-strict-mode lint over-fired: it suggested `(borrow V)` for
value-typed params (which `borrow-over-value` rejects — own is the
only legal mode there) and fired on `(intrinsic)` bodies (whose
consumption the linearity walk cannot observe). Tightened to skip
both; contract 0008 updated to the narrowed firing scope.
Irreversible step — canonical-form hash reset (model 0008 §6,
acceptance criterion 6). Every signature now carries explicit modes,
so the hashable canonical JSON changed for every module. RATIFY:
the corpus-wide hash-pin reset (hash_pin, prelude_module_hash_pin,
mono_hash_stability, eq_ord_e2e, embed_export_hash_stable, the
ct4/iter*/loop_recur schema-extension pins) and the list ir_snapshot
golden were regenerated once, deliberately, as the intended one-time
consequence of removing the mode elision from the canonical form —
not a regression. Each regenerated hash verified deterministic across
two runs.
Also fixes a pre-existing latent failure surfaced by the verification
gate, unrelated to this cutover: the `every_contract_names_a_resolvable_
ratifying_test` resolver (design_index_pin) could not resolve the
" + " dual-link ratifying-test form (`uniqueness.rs + linearity.rs`)
that the #57 audit-close (

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.

iter ext-rename: .ailx → .ail across the live toolchain
The surface-form file extension changes from .ailx to .ail. AILang's
authoring surface now uses the same .ail stem as its canonical JSON
form (.ail.json), giving the language a single coherent extension
family: .ail is the LLM-authored Form A, .ail.json is the canonical
JSON-AST Form B.
Scope (touched):
- 61 example renames examples/**/*.ailx → .ail (git mv)
- 1 rename experiments/.../rendered/ailx.md → ail.md
- 35 content-edited live-toolchain files (crates/, docs/DESIGN.md,
docs/roadmap.md, docs/PROSE_ROUNDTRIP.md, skills/, bench/reference/*.c,
experiment crates under experiments/.../{render,harness,master})
- Experiment-crate cohort rename Cohort::Ailx → Cohort::Ail,
Form::Ailx → Form::Ail, per_cohort/ailx → per_cohort/ail,
{form-only: ailx} → {form-only: ail}, ```ailx → ```ail
Out of scope (deliberately untouched, to preserve honest history):
- docs/journal-archive.md (content-frozen per CLAUDE.md)
- docs/journals/, docs/specs/, docs/plans/, bench/orchestrator-stats/
- experiments/.../runs/ (frozen LLM-output artefacts; models actually
saw .ailx — renaming would falsify the experimental record)
Verification: cargo build/test --workspace green; experiment crate
cargo test green; bench/check.py + compile_check.py + cross_lang.py
all 0-regressed; negative grep for ailx|Ailx|AILX outside the
out-of-scope paths returns zero matches.
Opens immediate follow-up: roadmap.md P2 todo `ail check`/build/run
accept .ail extension — after this rename, .ail is canonical
authoring surface but the CLI still produces a misleading JSON-parse
error on `ail check foo.ail`. That's the next iter.
