Brummel c90926dbba Iter 13d: rustdoc polish for ailang-core + new docwriter agent
Adds ailang-docwriter to /agents/ — a recurring role for keeping
crate-, module-, and pub-item-level rustdoc accurate. First mission:
ailang-core. Crate root, every module root, every pub item documented;
intra-doc links throughout; Iter-13a additions (TypeDef.vars, Type::Con.args)
get an explicit backwards-compat note. Two stale broken-link warnings in
ailang-check fixed in passing. cargo doc --no-deps now warning-free across
the workspace; promoted to verification invariant 6 in DESIGN.md.

# AILang agents
These agent definitions are part of the project toolchain. They bundle the
discipline and context that every task in this repo needs (which design
documents to read first, which tests must run, which output format comes
back). They are versioned, reviewable, and changeable like any other part of
the repo.
## What lives here
| Agent | Role |
|--------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `ailang-implementer.md` | Carries out tightly scoped implementation tasks. |
| `ailang-architect.md` | Read-only reviewer; checks for drift against DESIGN.md after iterations. |
| `ailang-tester.md` | Writes examples and E2E tests. |
| `ailang-debugger.md` | Diagnoses compiler or codegen bugs. |
| `ailang-docwriter.md` | Writes and maintains rustdoc on the Rust crates. |
## Invocation scheme
Each `.md` file consists of YAML frontmatter (`name`, `description`, `tools`)
and a system-prompt body. There are two ways to invoke them:
1. **As a subagent (preferred, when the tooling supports it).** When the file
sits under `~/.claude/agents/` or `.claude/agents/`, Claude Code loads it
as a `subagent_type` and calls it as a native agent. The files here are
deliberately NOT in `.claude/` because they belong to the project
toolchain and should be visible. Anyone who wants to enable subagent
loading can symlink: `ln -s $(pwd)/agents .claude/agents`.
2. **As a prompt prefix (always available).** The body of the `.md` file is
prepended to the concrete task description and handed to a
`general-purpose` agent. Functionally identical to the subagent call,
except the caller has to send the body explicitly.
## Extending or changing agents
- New agent: another `.md` file with frontmatter (`name`, `description`,
`tools`) and system-prompt body.
- Existing agent: edit directly, like any other code file. Changes show up
in git history.
- Convention: the frontmatter `description` field is the one-sentence
description an orchestrator reads to decide whether to call the agent.
Keep it short and specific.
