Brummel bcd41810f4 design/ + source rustdoc: replace opaque shorthand with content phrases + links

Reader-facing prose and rustdoc carried opaque shorthand like
"Decision 10", "clause-5", "mq.1", "ct.1", "eob.1", "rpe.1",
"post-mq.3", and "Iter 22b.1:" with no in-repo definition the reader
could follow. This commit replaces every such occurrence in the
durable tier the reader is most likely to land on (design/ ledger +
source //! module headers + the central /// public-item rustdoc) with
an inline content phrase plus, where applicable, a Markdown link to
the file that defines the referenced concept.

design/ ledger — 16 files:
  Definition-site headings demoted from "Decision N: <title>" to
  "<title>": authoring-surface, tail-calls, memory-model section in
  rc-uniqueness.md, dual-allocator section, typeclass design,
  effects "pure core + algebraic effects".
  Cross-reference sites: "Decision 1" -> canonical-schema principle
  (data-model); "Decision 3/4" -> effects + scope-boundaries; "Decision
  6" -> authoring-surface; "Decision 8" -> tail-calls; "Decision 9" ->
  rc-uniqueness (dual-allocator); "Decision 10" -> memory-model;
  "Decision 11" -> typeclasses (model). "clause-5" -> body-link
  durability gate. "clause-3" (in language-constraints) ->
  bug-class-reintroduction discriminator. "mq.1/2/3", "ct.1/4",
  "eob.1", "rpe.1" -> the canonical-form rule / the type-driven
  dispatch / the Str carve-out / etc. "post-mq.3" -> "type-driven".

design/contracts/feature-acceptance.md: file-local "clauses 1/2/3"
-> "criteria 1/2/3" (sprachliche Kohärenz mit der File-Überschrift
"Feature-acceptance criterion"); "the clause-3 mechanism" -> "the
bug-class-reintroduction discriminator".

Source //! module headers — 24 files:
  Stripped "Iter X.Y:" prefixes and "(Decision N)" / "(mq.X)" tags
  from spec_drift, uniqueness, reuse_shape, migrate_canonical_types,
  typeclass_22b{2,3,c}, suppress_filter, lift, mono, linearity,
  diagnostic, method_dispatch_pin, method_collision_pin,
  no_per_type_print_ops, mq3_multi_class_e2e, print_mono_body_shape,
  print_no_leak_pin, cli_diag_human_workspace_load_error,
  ct1_check_cli, prose snapshot, unbound_in_instance_method_pin,
  mono_xmod_ctor_pattern, desugar.

Central /// public-item rustdoc:
  ast.rs (full sweep — every "Iter X" + "Decision N" prefix
  reformulated; mode/Type::Fn rustdoc now points at memory-model.md;
  Constraint / SuperclassRef / InstanceDef / ClassDef rustdoc points
  at typeclasses contract).
  diagnostic.rs (all "(Iter X)" / "(mq.X)" tags on diagnostic codes
  removed).
  lib.rs (FORM_A_SPEC rustdoc points at authoring-surface.md
  instead of "Decision 6").
  canonical.rs (type_hash + Float-literal rustdoc).

Still outstanding (for a follow-up commit): ~500 inline `//`
code-body comments with `Iter X.Y` markers across the workspace, and
a handful of `///` rustdoc items in hash_pin / workspace_pin / lift /
mono / suppress_filter test-pin and internal-function bodies. Code
identifiers (test filenames like `mq3_multi_class_e2e.rs`, function
names like `iter18e_drop_iterative_default_preserves_hashes`) stay
verbatim per the user's "code identifiers stay verbatim" rule.

Tests: design_index_pin 5/5 + docs_honesty_pin 5/5; workspace builds
clean; full `cargo test --workspace` previously green (every
`test result: ok` line, no FAILED line).

Method dispatch

The class-method resolution rule that pairs with the typeclasses contract; the Show/Eq/Ord instances the rule dispatches against live in prelude classes.

Dispatch is two-mode:

Polymorphic call sites (inside a fn body with forall + constraint set): the constraint names the class via the qualified Constraint.class field (canonical form: bare for same-module, <module>.<Class> for cross-module; see memory model for the canonical-form rule). Synth's residual carries the class name directly; constraint-discharge at fn-body-end matches against the workspace registry by (class, type_hash) key.

Monomorphic call sites: synth consults the workspace-flat Env.method_to_candidate_classes: BTreeMap<MethodName, BTreeSet<QualifiedClassName>> index, then runs the 5-step dispatch rule:

Parse the Term::Var.name for an optional class qualifier (last-dot-segment is the method name; everything before is the qualified class).
If method_to_candidate_classes has no entry for the method name, fall through to the existing Var-arm branches (free fn lookup, dot-qualified cross-module).
Qualifier present: filter candidates to the named class. Empty result fires UnknownClass. Singleton survivor proceeds.
Qualifier empty (bare-method form): singleton candidate proceeds directly; multiple candidates yield a multi-candidate residual for discharge-time refinement.
At discharge, refinement runs: concrete type_ filters candidates via the workspace registry; rigid-var type_ filters via the active fn's declared constraints (env.active_declared_constraints). Single survivor discharges; multiple survivors fire AmbiguousMethodResolution (concrete) or MissingConstraint (rigid-var); zero survivors fire NoInstance (concrete) or MissingConstraint (rigid-var).

The method_to_candidate_classes index is the load-bearing data structure for this routing — its construction in build_check_env inverts the per-module class_methods maps (themselves tuple-keyed by (qualified-class, method)) to a workspace-flat method-name-to-class-set map.

Class-fn collisions resolve at the call site, not at workspace load time: the fn lookup precedence (locals → caller-module-fn → imported-fn) runs ahead of the class-method branch. When both sides have a match, the fn wins and a class-method-shadowed-by-fn warning surfaces the shadow.

Ratified by: crates/ail/tests/show_no_instance_e2e.rs.
