Brummel 72e54f4fd3 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.

; Iter 16b.3 — LetRec captures of `Term::Let`-bound names.
; `count_below(n)` returns how many integers in 1..=n are strictly
; less than a `threshold` computed locally from `n`. The recursive
; helper `loop` captures the let-bound name `threshold` from the
; enclosing scope; its type is only known after typecheck (the
; let-value is `(app + 5 5)` — an `Int` expression, but the desugar
; pass cannot resolve that without inference).
;
; The 16b.2 desugar pass cannot lift this LetRec (capture is Let-bound,
; not fn-param). Instead the desugar pass leaves the LetRec in place;
; the post-typecheck `lift_letrecs` pass in `ailang-check` resolves
; `threshold`'s type as `Int` from the typechecker's env and produces
; a synthetic top-level fn `loop$lr_0(i: Int, n: Int, threshold: Int)
; -> Int`, rewriting every `(app loop ARGS)` to `(app loop$lr_0 ARGS n
; threshold)`.
;
; Expected stdout (one per line):
; count_below(0) = 0 (empty range; loop's first call has i > n)
; count_below(5) = 5 (1..=5; threshold = 10; all 5 are < 10)
; count_below(15) = 9 (1..=15; threshold = 10; 1..=9 are < 10)
