Brummel aea3758742 tidy: 21'g — resolve drift after 21'-arc close
Three drift items from ailang-architect, plus one false-positive
surfaced during verification:

  1. DESIGN.md silent on closure-pair 4.14x finding (21'b).
     Decision-10 ratified: "Workload scope of the 1.3x target"
     paragraph scopes the retirement gate to linear/tree/poly-ADT
     workloads; closure-pair carve-out documented as
     representational cost (closure cell + env struct = 2 allocs
     per step) until a slab/pool answer ships.

  2. bench/compile_check.py corpus drift. Three fixtures added
     (bench_compute_intsum, bench_compute_collatz,
     bench_list_sum_explicit), re-baselined. Now 12 fixtures x
     2 ops = 24 compile-time metrics.

  3. baseline.json convention not codified. Note field gains
     "max-of-distribution gets wider band than percentile"
     convention discovered in 21'd.

  4. (verification finding) bench_compute_intsum cross_lang
     tolerances at 15%/12% fire on subprocess-spawn jitter for
     sub-millisecond fixtures. Widened to 35% across all five
     intsum metrics; convention recorded in baseline_cross_lang
     note field (sub-ms fixtures need looser bands).

All three bench gates re-run sequentially after edits:
  bench/check.py        — 63 metrics; 63 stable
  bench/compile_check.py — 24 metrics; 24 stable
  bench/cross_lang.py    — 25 metrics; 25 stable

Total: 112 metrics under regression coverage, all green.

288 tests passing, 3 ignored. No Rust changes.

"note": "Cross-language wall-time baseline. Per-fixture: AILang at --alloc=rc, AILang at --alloc=bump, hand-C at clang -O2. Ratios rc/c and bump/c are the headline answer to CLAUDE.md's LLVM-linkable performance claim. The C reference uses malloc-and-leak to mirror AILang's implicit-mode RC; an explicit-mode + free() variant is queued. Tolerance convention: sub-millisecond fixtures (e.g. bench_compute_intsum at ~0.4 ms; LLVM-folds the loop to a single printf) have wider per-run jitter than dominant-runtime fixtures because subprocess spawn / kernel-page warmup is a larger relative share. The intsum fixture's tolerances are widened to absorb that — codified in 21'g after the false-positive at 15%/12%.",
