Brummel c9355d7d58 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
invariant untouched. RED-first via two new committed
examples/*.prose.txt byte-equality snapshots + two snapshot_loop_*
tests; full ailang-prose suite 10/0; both ail-prose CLI byte-matches
green. Single-iteration milestone, brainstorm→plan→implement.
