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

iter rpe.1: retire per-type print effect-ops
Single iter shipping the post-milestone-24 follow-up named in
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:

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.
