Adds path-2 from the 16b.2 planning entry. Desugar now defers
LetRecs whose captures include Term::Let-bound names; a new
ailang-check::lift_letrecs pass runs after typecheck and uses the
elaborated env to resolve capture types. ailang-check learns a real
Term::LetRec typing rule in synth and verify_tail_positions.
- desugar: Term::LetRec arm gains a defer-arm; helpers promoted to
pub for reuse by the lift pass; find_non_callee_use moved before
classification.
- ailang-check::synth/verify_tail_positions: real LetRec rules
(effect-subset, locals install, recursive name in body+in_term).
- ailang-check::lift.rs (new, 720 LOC): post-typecheck lift with
post-order traversal, env-walk for capture-type resolution,
fast-path skip when no LetRec is present.
- ail::main.rs: build path now does load → check → desugar →
lift_letrecs → codegen.
- examples/local_rec_let_capture.{ailx,ail.json}: new fixture
capturing a let-bound `threshold` in a recursive helper.
- e2e + check unit tests: 106 → 110 (+4).

Add `(let-rec NAME (params ...) (type ...) (body ...) (in ...))`
as a form-A surface and a `Term::LetRec` AST variant. The 16a
desugar pass lifts each LetRec whose body has no captures from
the enclosing scope to a synthetic top-level fn `<hint>$lr_N`
and substitutes the original name; typecheck and codegen never
see LetRec. Capture detection panics at desugar time, queued
for 16b.2.
Tests: 95 → 99 (+1 e2e local_rec_factorial_demo, +2 desugar
unit, +1 parse unit). The new fixture `examples/local_rec_demo`
runs `fact` at n=1, 3, 5 → prints 1, 6, 120.

Lifts the gate that rejected `(pat-ctor Cons a (pat-ctor Cons b _))`.
Approach: a pure AST → AST pass `ailang_core::desugar::desugar_module`
that flattens nested-Ctor sub-patterns into chains of single-level
matches with let-bound fresh vars and duplicate fall-through. Both
ailang-check and ailang-codegen call the pass at pipeline entry.
Hash-relevant canonical bytes are untouched: the pass runs after
load_module, in memory only. `check`'s returned CheckedModule.symbols
still carries hashes of the original defs so `ail diff` / `ail manifest`
see on-disk identities.
Lit sub-patterns inside a Ctor still rejected — that's the narrower
scope of `nested-ctor-pattern-not-allowed` post-16a; the variant doc
reflects the new meaning.
Fresh-name safety: `$` is a valid ident character in form (A), so
the Desugarer pre-walks every Term::Var / Pattern::Var name into a
BTreeSet and bumps its counter past any user-spelled `$mp_N`.
Already-flat matches go through `is_flat()` and emit identical AST
shapes; every existing fixture produces the same output as before.
New: examples/nested_pat.{ailx,ail.json} prints 30 from
first_two_sum on [10, 20, 30]. e2e test
`nested_ctor_pattern_first_two_sum` guards the path.
Tests: 92/92 (e2e 32→33, ailang-core unit 10→12).

Second stdlib module. Tester wrote std_list.ailx (10 combinators,
164 LOC) and a consumer demo. std_list typechecked standalone;
demo did not, surfacing three compiler bugs:
1. Check-side: Iter 14h's qualify_local_types was applied to
Term::Var cross-module lookup but not to ctor-field types in
Term::Ctor synth or Pattern::Ctor resolution. First recursive
cross-module ADT (List has Cons a (List a) — recursive Con
self-ref) triggers the bug. std_maybe slipped through because
Maybe's ctors have no recursive Con field.
2. Codegen-side: same gap mirrored across 4 sites in codegen
(Term::Ctor synth, lower_ctor, lower_match) plus a tweak to
unify_for_subst (recurse on re-bind instead of strict equality
so sibling-derived List<Int> accepts nullary-ctor's List<$u>
wildcard).
3. Const codegen: emit_const rejected non-literal const bodies.
The demo's xs : List<Int> = Cons 1 (...) requires it. Fix:
per-module const table, Term::Var resolution loads literal
consts from global, inlines non-literal bodies. Bare and
qualified refs both supported.
All three fixes carry an "Iter 15b" code comment at their site.
~349/25 LOC across ailang-check, ailang-codegen, e2e.rs.
Tests 85 -> 87. New e2e std_list_demo asserts 11-line stdout:
length 5, is_empty false/true, head via from_maybe, tail length,
append length, reverse head, map double head, filter is_even
length, fold_left sum, fold_right sum. New ailang-check unit
test cross_module_recursive_adt_term_and_pat_ctor covers both
the original bug and the symmetric pat-ctor latent twin.
Hash invariance: all pre-15b fixtures + std_maybe defs
bit-identical. 14a / 14e / 14h regressions all green.
Cumulative state: 2 stdlib modules (std_maybe, std_list), 14
combinators, cross-module recursive ADT working end-to-end.
Three compiler bugs surfaced + fixed in dogfood since 14a (each
dogfood iter has surfaced ≥1).
Authoring observation: form (A) at 10 combinators is fine; main
friction is paren-counting in nested seq chains, not the form
itself. n-ary seq would help but is sugar.
Plan 15c: 1000-element list stress test for fold_left (tail-call-
marked) vs fold_right (constructor-blocked).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The 15a tester surfaced a real compiler limitation: cross-module
type and ctor references were not implemented. Iter 5b only
carried fns + consts via module_globals; types/ctors stayed
module-local with an explicit DESIGN comment. This iter completes
the cross-module mechanism using the Iter-5b convention:
qualified-only access via module.Name.
Implementation:
- ailang-check: Env.module_types populated by build_module_types.
Qualified resolution in Type::Con, Term::Ctor, with cross-module
fallback for pat-ctor (local wins, multi-import collision -> new
ambiguous-ctor diagnostic). Four new unit tests.
- ailang-codegen: workspace-level module_ctor_index replaces
per-Emitter table. lookup_ctor_by_type / lookup_ctor_in_pattern
thread qualified type names through box-tag and field-type
resolution.
- examples/std_maybe_demo.{ailx,ail.json}: type-name slots now
qualified (std_maybe.Maybe).
- New e2e test cross_module_maybe_demo asserts the demo prints
["7","99","true","true","42"].
Net diff ~550 LOC. Tests 80 -> 85. All Iter 14a regressions
(parameterised_box_round_trip, parameterised_maybe_match,
list_map_poly_inc_then_prints, polymorphic_id_at_int_and_bool)
verified green — the 14h derive_substitution change (default
unpinned forall vars to Unit for monomorphiser) sits on a
different layer than 14a's $u-wildcard fix and they coexist.
Hash invariance: all five std_maybe def hashes unchanged. All
80-test-suite fixtures retain bit-identical hashes — cross-module
support is purely additive at the language level.
Process note: the std_maybe.ailx file landed in the 14g commit
via a sloppy git-add-A; should have spotted it before staging.
Not a correctness issue but a hygiene one.
Implementer flagged Unit-default monomorphisation as wasteful-
but-correct; rethink if stdlib grows toward overload-resolution-
style cases needing distinct unconstrained instantiations.
std_maybe stdlib effectively ships: module + four combinators +
e2e-tested consumer demo. Plan 15b: std_list importing std_maybe,
exercising Maybe-returning head/tail and tail-call-marked
fold_left.

Reconsidered 14d's removal of Term::If. The decision was wrong.
"No redundancies" requires judgment; reducibility (if -> match)
is not redundancy in the strong sense. Term::If is a primitive
control-flow shape; bool branching is the second most common
shape after sequencing, and removing it cost 3x tokens on every
branch site (`(if c a b)` 4 tokens vs the match-on-Bool form
12 tokens).
Meta-pattern fixed: I had been treating user observations as
directives. User said "if is a subset of match"; I jumped to
remove it citing CLAUDE.md, with no independent conviction.
The leak appeared in 14f's JOURNAL prose ("three lines for what
if used to do in one"), which read as regret. Two feedback
memories saved (memory/feedback_user_suggestions_not_directives,
memory/feedback_no_nostalgia_for_removed_features) to head this
off.
Implementation: mechanical reverse-application of 14d's diff at
every site (AST, check including the 14e tail-position arm,
codegen 4 sites, surface parser/printer, pretty, CLI walker,
e2e test mutation). Removed lower_bool_match helper — it existed
only because 14d's migration shape needed codegen for non-ptr
match scrutinees; with Term::If back, match-on-Bool returns to
its pre-14d unsupported state. Three fixtures (sum, sort, max3)
restored to pre-14d shape. gc_stress (added in 14f) also
migrated back to (if ...) since it was authored under the wrong
constraint.
14e (musttail) and 14f (GC_malloc) verified intact in IR.
Hashes restored to pre-14d values:
- sum.sum: db33f57cb329935e
- sort.insert: 697fcb9f30f8633a
- max3.max: 65c45d6a45dd0a72
- max3.max3: 624b14429bf302f5
All other defs across all 18 fixtures keep their post-14f
hashes. Tests 80/80 green; cargo doc 0 warnings. LOC delta
+265/-295 net -30.
DESIGN.md Decision 7 preserved with a "Status: REVERTED" header
for audit trail. Form-(A) `if-term` production restored.
Plan: back to 15a (std_maybe stdlib module).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Decision 8 ships. Term::App and Term::Do gain tail: bool with
serde-default false and skip-when-false serialisation. New
typecheck pass verify_tail_positions enforces tail-position rules
(Scheme-style propagation through match arms, seq.rhs, let body,
lam body). Codegen emits musttail call for marked App calls.
Hash invariance verified: only the two migrated print_list defs
(list_map_poly.print_list, sort.print_list) changed hashes; all
other defs across all 18 fixtures kept bit-identical hashes —
confirms the skip-when-false serialisation rule works.
Tests 76 -> 79: tail_call_in_non_tail_position_is_rejected,
tail_call_in_tail_position_is_accepted, plus an IR-grep e2e test
asserting that print_list's recursive call site emits musttail
in the lowered IR. Existing 25 e2e tests unchanged in behaviour
(map -> [2,3,4], sort -> sorted list).
IR evidence at the recursive site:
%v7 = musttail call i8 @ail_list_map_poly_print_list(ptr %v6)
ret i8 %v7
Two deviations called out in the implementer report and JOURNAL:
1. tail-do uses tail call, not musttail. Cross-type return
(runtime helpers return i32, AILang Unit is i8) would have
LLVM reject musttail. Path is implemented but not exercised
by any current fixture; proper fix is runtime-helper signature
change, punted.
2. block_terminated flag in codegen so tail-call emit
(musttail call + ret) doesn't get a duplicate trailing ret
from surrounding code (match-arm phi, fn-body, lambda thunk).
Internal plumbing; required for IR well-formedness.
Form (A) productions now at ~30, exactly the constraint-1
budget. Future surface additions need to retire something or
explicit-budget-rebalance in DESIGN.md.
GC notes from implementer survey land in JOURNAL:
- Allocations cluster in lower_ctor; every term-ctor does
malloc(8+8n).
- Tail recursion does not reduce alloc pressure, only stack.
For map-style ctor-blocked recursions, allocation IS the
bottleneck.
- Per-fn arena is sound only when fn return type contains no
boxed ADT. Most current fixtures violate this.
Plan 14f: Boehm conservative GC (GC_malloc, -lgc) as a first
cut. Single-iter integration, no AST/schema change. Stress
test: build a 100k Cons list, observe RSS doesn't blow up.
After 14f the language is feature-complete enough for stdlib
work (15a).

Term::If was semantically a subset of Term::Match on Bool. Per
CLAUDE.md the language must contain no redundancies; two AST nodes
for the same operation produces an authoring decision with no
semantic content and a duplicate codegen path. Removed.
Migration shape (applied to sum, sort, max3 fixtures):
(if c a b) -> (match c (case (lit-bool true) a) (case _ b))
No schema version bump (per user direction): no third-party consumes
ailang/v0, so version ceremony is pure overhead. Edited AST and
fixtures in place; pinned hashes in hash.rs updated.
Implementer deviation, called out and justified: a tightly-scoped
lower_bool_match helper (~95 LOC) was needed in codegen because
the existing match path rejects i1 scrutinees and Pattern::Lit.
Helper accepts only the canonical two-arm migration shape, errors
on anything else, emits the same br/phi IR Term::If used to. No
generalisation of the ADT-match codegen.
Diff: 13 files, +286/-221 (net +65 LOC). AST got smaller
(one variant gone), form-(A) got smaller (one production gone),
typecheck got smaller (one branch gone). Codegen got slightly
larger by the bool-match helper.
Hash deltas: sum.sum, sort.insert, max3.max, max3.max3 changed.
All other defs (e.g. sum.main, sort.IntList, sort.sort,
sort.print_list, max3.main) kept bit-identical hashes — confirms
canonical-JSON byte format intact.
Verification: 76/76 tests green; sum->55, max3->17, sort->[1,1,2,
3,3,4,5,5,5,6,9] (identical to pre-migration). cargo doc 0 warnings.
Tail-call survey by implementer (informs 14e): print_list
recursions are already in tail position (rhs of seq inside match
arm); map/sort/insert recursions are NOT (constructor-blocked
inside Cons applications). 14e annotation will benefit terminal
recursions; ctor-blocked ones need accumulator-form rewrites in
source, not a compiler-side transform.
Decision 7 added to DESIGN.md. JOURNAL entry has the language-
completion sequence (14d done, 14e tail-calls, 14f GC, 15a stdlib).

Second docwriter mission. Pure rustdoc additions (no API or
behaviour change) across the typechecker crate:
- builtins.rs: module root expanded; EffectOpSig (struct + 3
fields) and install() got /// strings.
- diagnostic.rs: Severity (+ both variants), Diagnostic (+
severity/code/message fields) and the error/with_def/with_ctx
helpers got /// strings; super:: link rewritten to crate::.
- lib.rs: CheckError + every variant, to_diagnostic, CheckedModule
(+ symbols), check, Env (+ globals/effect_ops/types/
module_globals/current_module), CtorRef (+ type_name) got ///
strings; crate-root prose upgraded with intra-doc link to
check_module.
Verification: cargo doc --no-deps zero warnings; cargo build
--workspace green; cargo test --workspace 64/64 + 3 ignored
doctests green. Diff is 188 LOC, all in /// or //! lines (verified
by filtering).
Findings (not fixed; orchestrator-deferred):
- Env is pub but only privately constructable.
- CheckError::CtorArity and ::ArityMismatch share the public
diagnostic code "arity-mismatch" by design.
- Diagnostic / Severity reachable via two paths because the
diagnostic module is pub.
JOURNAL.md updated with the Iter 13e entry. 13f (ailang-codegen
+ ail) and 14a (List a rewrite) remain queued.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds ailang-docwriter to /agents/ — a recurring role for keeping
crate-, module-, and pub-item-level rustdoc accurate. First mission:
ailang-core. Crate root, every module root, every pub item documented;
intra-doc links throughout; Iter-13a additions (TypeDef.vars, Type::Con.args)
get an explicit backwards-compat note. Two stale broken-link warnings in
ailang-check fixed in passing. cargo doc --no-deps now warning-free across
the workspace; promoted to verification invariant 6 in DESIGN.md.
Adds type parameters to ADTs. `TypeDef` gets a `vars: Vec<String>` and
`Type::Con` gets an `args: Vec<Type>`, both `skip_serializing_if =
"Vec::is_empty"` so canonical-JSON hashes of every pre-13a definition
stay bit-identical (regression test in `hash::tests`).
Checker:
- `check_type_def` installs `td.vars` as rigid vars while validating
ctor field types — `Cons(a, List a)` now resolves both occurrences
of `a` and the recursive `List a` use.
- `check_type_well_formed` accepts `Type::Con { name, args }` only
when the type is in scope and `args.len()` matches its declared
arity; primitives stay zero-arg.
- `Term::Ctor` synth instantiates `td.vars` with fresh metavars, so
`MkBox(42)` synthesises to `Box<$m0>` and unifies field types
through the surrounding context.
- `type_check_pattern` substitutes the scrutinee's concrete type-args
through ctor field types, so a `MkBox(x)` arm against a `Box<Int>`
scrutinee binds `x : Int`.
- `check_fn` validates declared param/return types via
`check_type_well_formed` so arity mismatches on parameterised
ADTs surface before the body is checked.
`unify`, `occurs`, `Subst::apply`, `substitute_rigids`, and codegen's
`unify_for_subst` / `apply_subst_to_type` recurse into `args`.
Pretty-print:
- `type_to_string` renders `Box<Int>` for parameterised cons.
- `def_block`/`manifest` carry the `[a b ...]` vars list.
Three new check unit tests cover ctor instantiation at a concrete
arg, the polymorphic-`unbox` round trip at two distinct
instantiations, and arity mismatch on `Box<Int, Bool>`. All 62 tests
green; clippy clean (two pre-existing warnings untouched). Hashes
db33f57cb329935e (sum) and b082192bd0c99202 (IntList) verified
unchanged.
Codegen still synthesises `Type::Con` with `args: vec![]` from
`Term::Ctor` — full ADT monomorphisation lands in 13b.
Polymorphism is now opt-in via Type::Forall at top-level def types.
Implementation is the textbook ML rule: peel the Forall when checking
the def body, instantiate fresh metavars at every use site, unify.
Mechanics:
- New Subst struct + unify(): standard occurs-check unification, with
effects compared as a set.
- Metavars encoded inside the existing Type::Var as Type::Var{name:
"$m<id>"}. The "$" prefix can't collide with source-level identifiers,
so the AST schema stays untouched and existing module hashes don't
shift (verified: sum.ail.json keeps db33f57cb329935e / d9a916a0ed10a3d3).
- check_fn peels an outer Forall and installs the rigid vars in
Env.rigid_vars, where check_type_well_formed accepts them. Inner
forall vars unify only with themselves.
- Term::Var lookup runs maybe_instantiate on the resolved type, so
polymorphic globals get fresh metavars at each occurrence. Two
use sites of the same `id` get independent ($m0)→$m0 and ($m1)→$m1
shapes — no bleed.
- All expect_eq calls inside synth replaced with unify; expect_eq is
still used for the App-arity / etc. structural checks where no
metavars can appear.
Constraints kept tight on purpose:
- Const types may not be Forall (rejected outright).
- Forall in ADT field positions still rejected.
- No higher-rank polymorphism: App's callee can be Forall (defensive
instantiate) but the body doesn't introduce new quantifiers.
- No let-generalisation of lambdas — all polymorphism is at top-level
defs only.
Codegen still rejects Forall types, so polymorphic programs typecheck
but don't yet compile. Iter 12b adds monomorphisation.
Tests: 14/14 (was 10/10) — added polymorphic_id_def_typechecks,
polymorphic_id_can_be_used_at_int_and_bool,
polymorphic_id_consistency_is_enforced, polymorphic_apply_with_two_vars.

Four small cleanups, no semantic change. Workspace is now clippy-
clean (default lints):
- ailang-check: collapse `if-same-then-else` for primitive vs ADT
type lookup into one branch via a local boolean.
- ailang-codegen: iterate `all_strings.values()` directly instead of
`for (_mname, entries) in &all_strings`.
- ailang-codegen: drop `import_map` parameter from `collect_captures`
— was threaded speculatively through every recursive call but
never read.
- ailang-codegen: `s.len()` instead of `s.as_bytes().len()` in
c_byte_len (the warning predates Iter 6).
Tests: 52 still green.

Adds `Term::Seq { lhs, rhs }` (serde tag "seq") as a first-class
AST node for sequencing effectful expressions. Equivalent in
behaviour to `let _ = lhs in rhs`, but the dedicated node gives the
pretty-printer and diagnostics a cleaner shape and surfaces the
intent ("run for effect, then yield rhs") to future tooling.
Typecheck: lhs must be Unit; rhs's type is the result; effects
accumulate.
Codegen: lower lhs (drop SSA), lower rhs (return).
Capture / deps walkers: recurse into both sides.
Refactored examples/list_map.ail.json's print_list to use seq
instead of `let _ = ...`. Output unchanged (2/4/6).
Hash stability: existing examples without Term::Seq serialise
bit-identical; only list_map.ail.json's hashes changed (deliberate
refactor).
Tests: 51 green (was 50). New unit test
`ailang_check::tests::seq_lhs_must_be_unit` covers the type-error
path; existing list_map e2e covers the happy path.

Adds anonymous functions to AILang. A lambda value is constructed by
malloc'ing an env struct that holds its captured locals, plus a
closure pair `{ thunk_ptr, env_ptr }` (Iter 8a's ABI). The lambda's
body lifts to a top-level thunk `@ail_<m>_<def>_lam<id>(ptr %env,
params...)` that unpacks captures back into named locals before
running.
AST: new Term::Lam { params, paramTypes, retType, effects, body }.
Serde tag is "lam"; existing modules (no Lam) serialize identically,
so all current hashes stay stable.
Pretty-printer: renders `(\\ (x: T ...) -> R . body)`.
Typecheck (ailang-check): a lambda's type is the declared Type::Fn.
Body's effect set must be a subset of declared effects (no row
polymorphism). Constructing a lambda is pure — only calling it picks
up the declared effects, via the existing App branch.
Codegen (ailang-codegen):
- collect_captures: free-var walk; excludes builtins, current-module
top-level fns, and qualified names.
- lower_lambda: per-fn lam counter, save/restore emitter state, emit
thunk into a deferred queue (flushed after the parent fn), pack env
+ closure pair on heap, register the resulting closure-pair SSA in
the sidetable so subsequent indirect calls find it.
- Capture sigs propagate: a fn-typed capture keeps its FnSig in the
thunk's sidetable so `f(args)` inside the body still indirect-calls.
- Env layout: 8 bytes per capture (typed load/store reads only the
needed bytes; padding wasted but uniform).
Tests: 49 green (was 48). New examples/closure.ail.json + e2e
`closure_captures_let_n` exercises `let n = 3 in apply(\\x. x + n, 39)`
end-to-end and asserts the binary prints 42.

- ail deps now filters builtins, fn params, and let/match-pattern
bindings. New value_names() in ailang-check::builtins is the single
source of truth shared with the typechecker install path. walk_term
threads a scope set; qualified `prefix.def` refs pass through.
- check_in_workspace returns Vec<CheckError>; check_workspace
accumulates body diagnostics across defs and modules. Pass-1
(top-level symbol table) and per-module type-def setup stay
fail-fast — corrupt env would taint later diagnostics.
- DESIGN.md "What the MVP is NOT" was lying (ADTs, strings landed
in Iter 2/3). Renamed to "What is not (yet) supported" and split
into "not yet" + supported/smoke-tested. JOURNAL Iter 6 entry
records the architecture self-check.
Tests: 47 green (was 44). +2 deps filter tests in e2e,
+1 multi-diagnose test in ailang-check workspace integration.

Make English the project-wide language: all comments, string literals,
CLI help text, design docs, journal, agent prompts, and README. Only
CLAUDE.md (the user's own instruction file) stays German, and the live
conversation between user and Claude continues in German.
Adds a new "Project language: English" section to docs/DESIGN.md as
the durable convention. No logic changes — translation only. Four
internal error strings in the typechecker were retranslated; no
test asserts on their wording.
Verified: cargo test --workspace passes (44/44).

Neue API check_workspace(&Workspace) -> Vec<Diagnostic>; check_module
hebt das Modul intern in einen Trivial-Workspace. Term::Var mit genau
einem Punkt im Namen ist ein qualifizierter Verweis <prefix>.<def>,
aufgelöst über Import-Map (alias-oder-modulname → echter Modulname).
Drei neue Diagnostic-Codes: unknown-module, unknown-import,
invalid-def-name. ail check lädt jetzt immer via load_workspace;
Loader-Fehler werden im JSON-Modus zu strukturierten Diagnostics

arity-mismatch, non-exhaustive-match, unknown-ctor-in-pattern,
duplicate-def, …). CLI bekommt --json-Flag für maschinenlesbares
Output, Exit 1 bei Errors. Text-Modus unverändert. E2E-Test
check_json_unbound_var sichert das Format ab.
- AST: Def::Type mit Ctors; Term::Ctor (Konstruktion) und Term::Match

Negativ-Tests.
- Codegen: Boxed-Heap-Layout via malloc; Tag in Offset 0, Felder ab
Offset 8 in 8-Byte-Slots. Match lowert zu load tag + switch + Phi
am Join. Default-Block ist unreachable, wenn vom Typchecker geprüft.
- examples/list.ail.json: rekursive Int-Liste mit sum_list via match.

MVP immutable Konstanten. examples/hello.ail.json als zweiter E2E-Test.
- CLI: --json für manifest und builtins; neuer deps-Subcommand listet
statische Symbol-Referenzen pro Definition. Effekt-Ops mit Prefix
effect: markiert.

Erste lauffähige Iteration. examples/sum.ail.json wird zu nativem Binary
kompiliert und druckt 55 (Summe 1..10) als End-to-End-Test.
Architektur:
- ailang-core: hashbares JSON-AST + canonical-form + pretty-printer
- ailang-check: monomorpher HM-Subset + Effekt-Set-Tracking
- ailang-codegen: LLVM-IR-Text-Emitter (kein libllvm-link)
- ail: CLI mit check/manifest/render/describe/emit-ir/build/builtins
Designentscheidungen sind in docs/DESIGN.md dokumentiert; der Verlauf
in docs/JOURNAL.md.
