Comprehensive usability re-test of the RawBuf kernel extension in
natural LLM-author decompositions the prior field test (0058) did not
exercise: a Float RawBuf in a user ADT read through two borrow helpers,
a Bool flag buffer filled with a computed value, an Int fib buffer whose
fill reads its own writes plus two composed borrow summaries, and a
forbidden core-primitive element. All three working fixtures build, run
to expected values, and report live=0 across Float/Bool/Int widths —
the core RawBuf surface (borrow-helper composition, fill loops,
RawBuf-in-ADT, element widths) genuinely holds together.
Orchestrator triage corrected the fieldtester's run, which executed a
stale target/release/ail (built before the #50 fix). Every outcome was
re-verified against a fresh build:
- F2 (bare RawBuf ADT field unresolved) — RETRACTED: a stale-binary
false positive. On a fresh build the bare name resolves in every
configuration (ctor name == or != type name; builds/runs live=0). The
#50 fix is correct and general.
- F7 (NEW, issue #51) — a `check`-clean program crashes `build`: a
buffer whose element type is never observed by a later get/set
defaults its element to Unit in monomorphisation and hits an
unregistered `RawBuf_new__Unit` intercept. Affects a legitimate
`RawBuf<Int>` used only for its size AND a forbidden locally-
constructed element. Root: the `(new T ...)` desugar drops the
explicit element annotation; honouring it reverses the milestone's
§ Term::New desugar decision, so it routes through brainstorm.
- F8 (process) — the field test ran stale; the fieldtester agent now
builds from the current tree before running (plugin fix).
F1 (spec_gap) resolved here: the design ledger's §Series substrate ctor
wrote the storage field `(own (RawBuf a))`, which does not parse (`own`
is fn-param/ret only). Rewritten to the verified-authorable `(con RawBuf
a)`. The rest of the §Series listing is illustrative and its element-
less `(new RawBuf lookback)` construction is entangled with #51; a full
compile-verification of that listing belongs with the Series-substrate
work.
F5 (param-in rejects a forbidden core primitive, message names the set)
and F4/F3 (borrow composition; substrate composite) carry on. F6
(param-in set rendered as a Rust-debug list) filed as #52.
