Brummel 12e9a9c0cc Iter 14h: cross-module parameterised-ADT import (15a unblocked)
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.

; Iter 15a — first consumer of an stdlib module.
; Imports std_maybe, exercises from_maybe, is_some, is_none, map_maybe.
; First program to import a parameterised ADT (Maybe a) across module
; boundaries. Per the project's qualified-only convention (Iter 5b for
; fns, Iter 15a for types/ctors), every cross-module reference is
; qualified: `std_maybe.from_maybe` for the fn, `std_maybe.Maybe` for
; the type-name slot of `term-ctor`. The bare ctor names (`Just`,
; `Nothing`) stay unqualified — once the type is resolved, the ctor
; lookup is unambiguous within it.
