Brummel 6fdb45d2f2 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:
- 1fb225e bugfix: mono cursor misalignment at poly-free-fn Var
  with class-constrained Forall.
- feb9413 bugfix: print leak — propagate ret_mode through rigid
  substitution + prelude Show.show ret_mode.

Known debt (carried forward for next /audit):
- Emitter.strings field is functionally dead post-iter (orphan
  after intern_string removal); cycles over empty map harmlessly.

; Iter 16d — `__unreachable__` as an explicit user-callable primitive.
; Type: forall a. a (lowered to LLVM `unreachable`).
;
; This fixture exercises `__unreachable__` in a value position that is
; statically unreachable but still type-checks: the impossible branch
; of an if. `safe_div(a, b)` returns `a / b` when `b != 0` and panics
; via `__unreachable__` otherwise. The driver only ever calls it with
; non-zero divisors, so the panic branch is never executed.
;
; The point of the fixture is the type-system + codegen surface:
; `__unreachable__` unifies against `Int` (the fn's return type) at
; the typechecker, and codegen lowers it to `unreachable` followed by
; the rest of the if's join machinery, which is sound because the
; surrounding if's `block_terminated` flag is honoured.
;
; Expected stdout (one per line): 4, 5.
