Compound `OP=` through an index (gs[i]/a[i]) or a bare ident (g) on a
tagged union silently misbehaved: cstage dropped the index compound and
plain-stored, and BOTH stages compiled an ident compound into an add on
the tag word -- byte-identical, so the gate stayed green while the tag
was corrupted. A compound op on a whole union is nonsense.
Gate the index plain-store arm on TK_ASSIGN so a compound falls to the
existing #133 reject (wwstage's byte-id twin); add a dedicated #21 ident
reject in both stages. This closes the compound half of the tagged-payload
write class (deref #18, dot #34 already reject).
#19 (global tagged-array static-init DATA) is a separate emitter, still open.
The indexed tagged-element assign arm computed its base without the
isglobal -> LEAQ name(SB) branch the scalar element arm already has, so
`gs[i] = v` on a global tagged array stored to a junk frame base and was
lost -- cstage rc=0 where wwstage (which has the branch) rc=42. Mirror
the scalar arm's base resolution; cstage aligns up to wwstage. Local
tagged arrays and scalar globals are unchanged.
The global tagged-array static initializer still mis-packs its DATA in
both stages -- a separate emitter path, filed as #19.
The N_UN/TK_STAR plain-deref assign arm fell to a single fldstoreop for
every pointee, so `*p = v` with p:*tagged wrote the rhs into the tag word
and never the payload -- identically in both stages, leaving the byte-id
gate green while the store corrupted the tag (#263-class, gate-blind).
Gate on TY_TAGGED and route through cg_widen_tagged_store into a scratch
slot, then word-copy to the destination -- the proven runtime-index arm.
Scalar pointees keep the single-store path unchanged.
A module-level nullable `(*T | void)` GLOBAL has no storage path in
either stage: let_emit_size / letemitsize returned 0 for the nullable
TY_TAGGED, so let_collect skipped registration and emit_lets skipped
DATA. The three READ paths then miscompiled SILENTLY and identically-
wrong (a #263-class both-wrong gap, not a wwstage align-up): match read
0(BP) = saved BP via the let_islet-gated #87 arm falling to localfind;
`g is *T` / `g as *T` emitted MOVQ name(SB) for a symbol with no DATA →
w6l undefined-reference. cstage's #87 match arm was itself `!is_nullable`-
gated, so both stages were wrong.
This is the silent→loud bridge: die loud at the size/storage layer the
instant a nullable global is declared, so all three read paths hit one
diagnostic instead of a silent miscompile. A silent gap here is exactly
what "stable before CSP" forbids — CSP's process/handle/chan singletons
(`let c: *Chan | void`) are THE canonical nullable-global consumer. The
full storage + read-class arc (real DATA, nil/void/address-of init, let-
registration, the three SB-resolution read arms) is deferred to task #15
(CSP-prereq); the `&`-init sub-problem additionally couples to the #48
static address-of relocation gap (which already bites a plain `*T` global
init the same way).
Diagnostic core text is identical both stages ("nullable-global storage
unimplemented (task #15)"); cstage's fatal() adds the harness-wide "ww: "
err.c prefix err.ww does not, the same per-stage asymmetry every existing
both-stage reject carries. Byte-id-neutral: the corpus declares zero
nullable globals (grep-verified), so the loud path is unreached in self-
compile and the emitted asm is zero-move; the embedded w6c/wwdump
combined.ww amalgamations are regenerated for the cgen.ww source change.
New 989_nullableglobal_reject: 6 reject rows (match/is/as on a &gv init,
plus nil-init and void-init match, plus an inline non-aliased nullable
form) prove rc!=0 + the shared diagnostic on both stages, init- and
form-invariant; 2 controls (non-nullable tagged global, plain nil-init
*T global) prove the reject is keyed on the nullable TY_TAGGED and the
#87 storage path is untouched.
A `x.f = o` copy of a whole struct field emits a MOVQ run for the
8-byte chunks plus a tail. Both stages inlined a tail that handled only
{4,1}: a 4-byte remainder went MOVL, a 1-byte MOVB, but {2,3,5,6,7} fell
through to an 8-byte MOVQ that OVER-READS the source and OVER-WRITES the
field's natural-offset successor. With #44 packing a successor at its
natural offset, that is a live clobber: outer2{i:inner2{u8,u8}, mark:i32}
copies i with `MOVQ -8(BP),AX; MOVQ AX,-16(BP)` and wipes mark@-12; the
correct move is a single MOVW. Same defect in cstage (cgen.c) and the
four wwstage field-copy sites (cgenexpr.ww: via-ptr, direct-BP-local,
global, and the multi-hop dot-chain CX variant).
Fix: replace each inline {4,1} tail with the descending greedy 4/2/1
(MOVL/MOVW/MOVB) the canonical aggregate-copy emitters already use, so
the tail is complete on every natural size. This is path (alpha) of the
#73 brief — a corpus-neutral, no-workaround completion of the inline
tail. Routing field copies through the shared aggcopy/cg_aggcopy choke-
point (beta) is the balloon: those emitters hardcode (SI)->(BX) at offset
k with zero base displacement, but the four field-copy dsts are
heterogeneous (foff(BX), boff+foff(BP) with no base reg, totaloff(CX)),
so routing forces per-site-per-stage LEAQ src->SI + LEAQ dst->BX rewrites
with no mechanical cross-stage mirror at the CX site = a gate-blind
cs!=ww risk. The emitter extraction is filed as a later addressing-
unification arc (#12). The ragged tail is corpus-absent (every corpus
field copy is tail in {0,4}, where greedy 4/2/1 emits exactly what the
old {4,1} tail did), so this is CLASS-N: zero corpus move on both stages,
byte-id holds by construction.
The cstage <=24 N_CALL receive site (cgen.c:5234) is a different copy
family (sret result read from AX/DX/CX, not a mem-to-mem field copy) and
already handles 4/2/1; left untouched. The str/slice/tagged/tuple 4/1
sites (#76) are likewise a separate family, filed not folded.
989_structcopytail_run pins it on both driver twins: tail2 (MOVW), tail6
(MOVL+MOVW), tail7 (the full MOVL+MOVW+MOVB ladder, the MOVB-path row),
plus an 8-aligned ctl8 (tail-0 control). Pre-fix cstage clobbers mark and
exits non-zero -> cs!=ww; post-fix 4/4 ok cs==ww.
wwstage's unguarded loop-label push wrote out of bounds at depth 17
(compiler-heap corruption); cstage guarded but emitted a wrong break
target. Loud cap error at the limit, both stages, agreeing wording.
wwstage capped defers at 16 and SILENTLY DROPPED the 17th; cstage
capped at 32. Align the cap at 32 and make exceeding it a loud
compile error in BOTH stages — the silent 16-vs-32 split was the bug
(a defer that never runs is a leaked resource). Both stages move in
one commit: one cap contract.
The per-binding copy loop moved ONE word of a 24B str/slice binding —
.len and .cap read zero/garbage in BOTH stages (byte-identical, the
deepest both-wrong-identical of the drain: the F7-era stride fix
asserted convergence without re-measuring the absolute). Copy the full
extent for an sz>8 str/slice binding; the rewritten 989_tupfieldsize
pins all three header words with sliced caps so cap!=len has teeth.
The tagged-binding arm remains open as task #53 (wwstage
paramfieldsize). Review-era task #40, recategorized #263 fused.
Both stages move in one commit: one emission contract; splitting
would leave the byte-id gates red between the halves.
cstage dereferenced 0(BP) for the base — a SEGV on every store
through a module-global struct pointer; wwstage was already correct
(the inverse-set member). Mirror ww's global-pointer load. New
989_globptrfield_run pins cs==ww both stages. Task #47.
cstage's N_TYPEASSERT assumed cgexpr filled the registers and spilled
an uninitialized payload (cs=0 for any stored value); mirror the
landed wwstage emission (tag/payload/cap from g(SB)). Flips the
residual row to cs==ww==correct. Task #46.
cstage spilled frame garbage as the box; mirror the landed wwstage
emission (copy from gi(SB)). The F8-era divergence-only rows gain
pinned cs==ww values. Task #44.
cstage zeroed the return scratch; mirror the landed wwstage emission
(copy from the g(SB) base). Flips the F8-era residual row to
cs==ww==correct. Task #42.
cstage silently dropped the store on reassigning a module-global
tagged union; mirror the landed wwstage emission (tag+payload to
g(SB) via the widener). Closes the cs half of the F8 #263 pair; the
repro row flips to cs==ww==correct. Task #41.
Widening a runtime f64 into a tagged slot pushed a stale AX as the
payload while the value sat in X0 — both stages shared the push bug
(float literals dodged it because TK_FLOAT loads AX too); the
divergent pop sides then produced different garbage. Spill the
payload from X0 (MOVSD) with the variant tag. Review item #49.
Both stages move in one commit: one emission contract; splitting
would leave the byte-id gates red between the halves.
A str field reached through a chained dot (o.i.s) emitted two loads
(ptr, len) and stored a stale CX as the cap — both stages, at any
non-zero chain depth. Emit the full header at the chained-dot leaf.
Review item #29.
Both stages move in one commit: one emission contract; splitting
would leave the byte-id gates red between the halves.
Reading a slice-typed tuple element (t.0) loaded only the pointer
word; len and cap took whatever was left in BX/CX — silent garbage in
BOTH stages once anything clobbered the registers between build and
read. Load all three header words at the tuple-element arm. Review
item #28.
Both stages move in one commit: one emission contract; splitting
would leave the byte-id gates red between the halves.
s.f *= v silently became s.f = v (and the other non-+=/-= ops dropped
likewise) in BOTH stages across five lvalue sub-arms: via-ptr field,
direct local field, str/slice pseudo-field, and the two global-field
forms. Funnel all five through a shared combine dispatch
(cgdotfieldcombine / cg_dotfield_combine) emitting the load-OP-store
sequence at field width, hard-erroring the unhandled kinds — close-by-
construction so no arm stays on the old PLUSEQ-only path (the #133
BUS-routing lesson; #227 sites A/B are the closed siblings). The
refactor routes the corpus's existing +=/-= sites through the same
helper output-identically (byte-id held). Review item #34.
Both stages move in one commit: one emission contract; splitting the
halves would leave the byte-id gates red in between.
arr[i].field /= %= <<= >>= silently dropped the op (load-combine-store
emitted plain assignment) in BOTH stages — gate-blind, the #133 class.
Route every compound op through the combine dispatch at the indexed-
field arm and hard-error the unhandled operand kinds (float/str/slice/
tagged), per the #133 template (3986818). The runtime-correct target is
the op's own algebra (a OP= b == a = a OP b). Review item #33.
Both stages move in one commit: the fix is a single emission contract —
splitting cstage cgen.c from selfhost cgenexpr.ww would leave the
byte-id gates red between the halves.
A bare 'let x: T;' with 1 <= size(T) <= 7 matched no zero-fill arm in
either stage (8B and >8B were already zeroed) - 'let c: [3]u8;' read
stack garbage. User-ruled zero-value semantics: cstage gate sz>8 ->
sz>0; wwstage zsz==8 arm hoisted above the fill-run arm (required -
8B would otherwise route into the run and diverge) and run gate
zsz>0. New 840 pin: dirty-frame probe rows, dual-dim (run + cs/ww
byte-id); discriminators fail exit-154 on pre-fix binaries.
Fused with the lib/bytes test conversion (rule 11): either half alone
turns 967 red. The old exit(signalled+10) wrapped a real 1782-count
ltrim failure to exit 0 - green depended on the garbage. Converted to
assert form (completes the 35/35 @test conversion); ltrim rows keep
the bare 'let c: [3]u8;' as the consumer proof of the fix.
@test was parsed then dropped (no consumer); `ww test` needed a hand-written
main listing each test by hand, so adding a @test and forgetting the call
silently skipped it. -T makes the checker collect @test N_FNDECLs in source
order, loud-reject a user main, and append a synthetic
`export fn main() i32 { t0(); ...; return 0; }` at the install->body-check seam;
the existing cgfn emits it (cgen untouched) -> byte-identical by construction.
Mirrors harec's checker-side is_test placement.
Plan-9-lean reduction (user-sanctioned, reinstatable post-CSP): sequential,
abort/nonzero=fail; no setjmp isolation, no fnmatch filter, no file:line.
910/997 rewired from a regex scanner to driving `w6c -T` directly (thin trusted
drivers; the @test content stays ww), with a cross-stage byte-id assert on the
-T output. attest_userman/attest_badsig pin the user-main and bad-signature
rejects.
Passing a module-global struct by value -- let g: pt = pt{...}; take(g)
-- was silently miscompiled, mirror-opposite on the two stages. cstage's
by-value struct-arg arm hit localfind(g)->0 and read 2 words from the
frame (MOVQ (BP)), never main.g(SB) -> returned garbage. wwstage used the
correct main.g(SB) base but fell through to the scalar single-PUSHQ
default, pushing one word for a 2-word struct -> dropped a field.
Both stages now take the off==0 global branch: LEAQ main.NAME(SB) and copy
all struct-size/8 eightbytes (reusing the GAP-A.ptr/#231 global-base
predicate), converging to one byte-identical sequence. The local path
(off!=0) is unchanged; >16B aggregates (#271) already resolved globals.
Commit A of the cluster; the cstage-only inferred-global-type Sym-repoint
(every let g = ... module-global yields <nil> downstream) is Commit B
(#18). Slice/str global-by-value args have the same wwstage field-drop --
filed (#10 G-valglobal-arg; struct closed here). byte-id 990-997 8/8.
test/wcc/822 table-driven, byte-id per stage.
def C:[N]str; C[i] was loud (undefined main.C) both stages. Three folded
fixes, one commit (splitting would ship a bisect point where wwstage
silently returns an element address instead of .len):
P0: the str-array static-init emitter dropped its vestigial directive
=="DATAW" gate so a def table rides the same DATAW-header + DATAR-reloc
path as let. A def str/slice table lives in DATAW by w6a's A_DATAR-holder
constraint -- placement only; def immutability stays checker-enforced.
P1: let_pre_intern / letpreintern walked N_LET only, so a def str-array's
element string-literals were never interned (dangling _S_n). Extracted a
pre_intern_strarray SSoT helper, called for a def str-array arm too, both
stages. Scoped to str fixed arrays; def []T / def [N][]T stay loud (#270).
P2: wwstage cgenexpr lacked a defvartnode fallback in the indexed-element
classify, so a def str-array element load returned the element address
instead of the slice header -- a silent miscompile. One line, aligning
wwstage up to cstage (which was correct). C[1].len now = 3 both stages,
byte-identical.
byte-id 990-997 8/8; w6c/w6c_ww move. test/wcc/819 table-driven. The
def-global scalar str index sibling (def S:str; S[0]) stays task #14.
A global fixed array's .ptr (= &A[0]) must take the SB base, but cstage
emitted frame-relative LEAQ off(BP) for BOTH let- and def-global arrays
-> *A.ptr read frame garbage (0 instead of the element). cstage-SILENT;
wwstage def-global was a loud link-error. The .ptr read arm now gates
off==0 && (let_islet || def_isarraydef) -> LEAQ name(SB), reusing the
def-array index base predicate (cgen.c:4367, the #94/#231/#48 class).
Locals (off != 0) stay BP-relative -- the 14 toolchain backing-ptr sites
unaffected.
wwstage let-global was already correct; this adds the missing def-global
arm (cgenexpr.ww), converging cstage/wwstage byte-identical across all
three flavors (local / let-global / def-global) and closing a latent
cstage-only let-global cs!=ww divergence.
Byte-id 990-997 8/8 (corpus has no global .ptr); w6c/w6c_ww binaries move
(cgen changed). test/wcc/818 table-driven, build+run+byte-id per flavor.
The str==/!= arm of cbinop had an N_IDENT fast-path that assumed the operand
was a local: localfind returns 0 for a module-global str, so it loaded
(BP)/8(BP) — saved-BP/retaddr garbage — into rt_streq. `p == sepstr` silently
compared garbage (returned wrong). Mirror #148's global branch at both sub-sites
(rhs/lhs): off==0 && let_islet -> LEAQ name(SB) base, load ptr/len. Distinct
per-site fast-path, not a shared choke (the by-value-global-arg family
#148/#150/#151 closes separately). cstage-only; the wwstage str== twin is #146
(-> #125 batch).
Pin test/wcc/989_strglobeq (table-driven: const+let globals, rhs+lhs ident,
==/!=, unequal + len>1 rows; teeth-proven). Surfaced by the lib/path c3
buffer-ops gate-1 oracle.
A let's own name was visible during its OWN initializer: cgen prepended the
new local into the name-keyed localfind chain BEFORE emitting the init, so
`let x = f(x)` read the fresh UNINIT slot, not the outer/param x. Both-wrong-
identical silent miscompile (gate-blind byte-id). Surfaced by path
dirname/basename (was the c3-posix path->p rename).
Align to Hare (harec check.c:1439 evals the init, then scope_insert). Fix,
both stages, IDENTICAL asm: reserve the frame slot BEFORE the init emits,
link the binding's name into the localfind chain only AFTER.
- cstage cgen.c: split localoff -> localslot(reserve)+link; N_LET's 12
case-level breaks -> goto letlink (tail links once); the inner-for break
is preserved; the 4 fatal() arms untouched.
- wwstage cgen.ww/cgenstmt.ww: new localreserve (= localalloc minus the
chain-link); cglet -> cgletbody(c,n,off) + a cglet wrapper that
reserves -> calls body -> links after.
Byte-id-safe on existing code: localfind is by-name, so deferring the link
is a no-op on every non-self-shadow let (grep = 0 self-shadow sites) — 990-997
stay green. Because both stages emit identical now-correct asm, byte-id
CANNOT catch this; the pin is a RUNTIME test, teeth-proven (revert -> pin
fails). test/wcc/989_letshadow{.ww,_run.c}: param-shadow, let-in-init shadow,
rename control, arrlit self-ref.
Embedded regen: selfhost/cmd/{w6c,wwdump}/main.combined.ww. Gate: all 325
passed, byte-id 990-997 green, w6c c587f4a1 / w6c_ww 7a69f898 (deterministic).
The slice-IDENT call-arg fast path pushed the header words off off(BP)
where off=localfind(name); for a module-global slice localfind→0, so it
read saved-BP/RIP/caller garbage instead of name(SB). Add the global
branch (LEAQ name(SB) base, push 16/8/0 off it) mirroring the sibling
N_SLICE arm; local path unchanged. cstage-only: wwstage checker-rejects
the shape (#120), so byte-id-safe and the twin defers to #125. Unblocks
path c2-stack (dot/dotdot are faithful module-global []u8). Sibling
structarg fast-path filed #150.
Probe-first find for the path c2 appendlit (buf.buf[lo..hi]=bs): a
slice-copy-assign into a struct-field array sub-range emitted ZERO code —
silent NO-OP, both stages, both-wrong-identical (#263), so runtime is the
only net. N_ASSIGN gains an N_SLICE-LHS arm (cgen.c + cgenexpr.ww
slicebaseesz twin) reusing the N_SLICE-read base/esz cascade and copying
(hi-lo)*esz bytes from rhs.ptr via a runtime loop (len is runtime; no
REP/MOVSB). esz routed through the type table (rule 13; [N]u8->1). Hare
len(bs)==hi-lo assert deferred to #149.
A void (size-0) error-singleton type-name used as a VALUE (return / let-init /
assign / call-arg) all share the N_IDENT non-local global-value load; the load
emitted MOVQ main.<singleton>(SB),AX for a payload symbol that never exists →
w6l undefined reference. Guard TY_VOID && !let && !def at the non-local
fallthrough so nothing is emitted; the enclosing widen arm stamps the variant
tag. wwstage was already tag-only correct — this aligns cstage up to it.
Pin test/wcc/949_void_error_singleton_run.c (6 rows, teeth = link-fail
pre-fix). cgen-first blocker for the path::buffer arc (error.ha is all !void).
append/insert of a struct-LITERAL value evaluated the literal's field
exprs AFTER the grow, so a field reading the destination (e.g. len(xs))
saw the grown length. Both stages, #263 gate-blind (cs==ww byte-identical,
both wrong — runtime is the only net). #50 fixed the scalar/boxing value
arm; the struct-lit arm still post-grew.
Fix (mirror #50, both stages): resolve the struct, fill the literal into a
fresh per-site scratch (@appendstructscr, sized esz, survives rt_ensure +
nested-append clobber) BEFORE the grow, then copy scratch -> post-grow slot.
The copy uses the precise descending 8/4/2/1 ladder (the proven N_IDENT
struct arm directly below), NOT a raw 8B-word block copy: a struct's size
rounds to maxalign (check.c:916), so a sub-8B struct packs at a 4/2/1B
slice stride and an 8B copy over-writes past the slot — at a power-of-2
capacity boundary that clobbers the adjacent allocation (heap corruption,
both stages). The ladder never reads past esz (no uninit high bytes) nor
writes past the slot; esz=8 stays a single MOVQ (byte-id preserved).
insert() rides by construction: both stages desugar it to append and
re-dispatch into this arm. The #49 aplace path already uses the precise
ladder (verified, not exposed). #59 closes the last composite-value
eval-order hole in append/insert.
Pin: 946_append_structlit_evalorder_run — append / insert / narrow-neighbor
(i32-field at the cap boundary with an adjacent-allocation survival assert)
rows, each base-fail at 39432f7 and post-pass with cs==ww byte-id.
A tuple LITERAL with a declared-tagged element reached the cursor-fill
helper (cg_tuple_lit_to_cursor) through the generic cgexpr(N_TUPLE) arm
with no declared type, so the element was stored stamped-keyed at its
constructed scalar width rather than widened into the declared tagged box.
Both consumers ran silent and wrong on both stages (#263 gate-blind:
cs==ww byte-identical, both wrong — runtime is the only net).
#64 massign: N_MASSIGN derives a declared tuple type from the lvalue
binding types and threads it into cg_tuple_lit_to_cursor + the receive
loop (mirror of the #57 N_LET wire); a `_` target falls back to the rhs
literal element type for cursor stride.
#68 call-arg: the send is made param-aware (fill over the PARAM tuple) and
the restage guard graduates a declared-tagged element to a real widen
(reusing cg_widen_tagged_store); nested tuple/struct/array elements and
tagged elements with no param decl stay rule-7 loud. The matching
pop/drain is made param-aware too so push count == pop count: a
param-aware send pushes the box's N words, so the drain must pop N or the
SysV arg sequence skews. This is a push/pop balance requirement of the
send change, not a separate latent under-drain (the standalone trailing-
arg drain is already correct at HEAD).
Closed by construction: the only remaining cg_tuple_lit_to_cursor caller
passing NULL/nil is the generic cgexpr(N_TUPLE) arm, provably non-widening
(constructed type == governing type). The four widening consumers — LET,
RETURN, MASSIGN, call-arg — are all decl-wired. Whole-tuple single-ident
reassign from a tuple literal is rule-7 loud (task #49), not a silent
widening consumer, so the residual NULL arm stays non-widening.
Pin: 945_tuple_lit_declblind_run — massign / call-arg / `_`-control /
call-arg-drain / nested-tuple-ERR rows, each base-fail at abd97e6 and
post-pass with cs==ww byte-id.
A cross-module `&module.fn` in a const emitted no static reloc (the
const was never defined -> w6l undefined-reference, both stages) and
wwstage's checker rejected the const fn-table. #117/#119 wired the
&fn->DATAR const-data reloc for SAME-module &fn only; charclass_map
(fold-6) needs cross-module (12x &ascii.isXXX).
cgen: add the N_DOT arm to the &fn->symbol helper (node_fnptr_sym /
nodefnptr + the two ww emit sites), emitting mafn(leaf, module-ident)
-- exactly the symbol a runtime &mod.fn or a direct cross-module call
already emits. The helper is the SSoT for both the scalar (#119) and
tuple-row (#117) const-data paths, so one arm closes both.
checker: type a cross-module `&mod.fn` as `*fn(...)` in the TK_AMP arm
(the N_DOT twin of #206's N_IDENT fn-ptr synthesis, gated on a resolved
SK_FN/N_FNDECL leaf), so isassignable affirmatively accepts the const
table -- aligning wwstage UP to cstage's actual acceptance reason
rather than by abdication. The SK_FN gate keeps a non-fn `&mod.var`
from synthesizing a fn type (the one pre-existing nonfn-scalar cs!=ww
slip is N_IDENT-base, untouched and reproduces same-module).
One consumer-coupled commit (the checker accept gates wwstage cgen, so
neither half is independently testable). Narrow: slice-row + scalar
only; fixed-array (#118) and struct-field (#129) stay separate. Both
stages emit the correct cross-module symbols at the right tuple-slot
offsets -> byte-identical (990-997 green). Pin 949_xmod_fnptr_const_run
(distinct fns so a wrong reloc is caught + the SK_FN-gate axis). This
was the last fold-6 cgen blocker; charclass_map is now unblocked.
Reading or storing a tuple element of an indexed array element was
broken across the board (the fold-6 read-path). One fused commit,
both stages, four faces of indexed tuple-element access:
- FIELD read `tbl[i].N`: was loud ("unsupported field-read shape" --
the field-read dispatch keyed on an N_IDENT base; an INDEX base fell
to a fatal). Now resolves &tbl[i] via the place-spine and reads the
field at addr+foff through the existing per-kind arms (str-triple /
scalar / fn-ptr).
- WHOLE read `let e = tbl[i]`: was a silent word0-only truncation
(plain-tuple kin of #37/#58, which covered only tagged). Now a full
cursor fill from &tbl[i].
- STORE `a[i] = (3,4)` (N_TUPLE-literal rhs): was a silent word0-only
store -- the write face of the read. The aggregate-store-into-index
site handled ident/dot/deref tuple rhs but not the literal; now it
materializes the literal and word-copies. Narrow: N_IDENT base only
(N_DOT/chained stay deferred, #270).
- for-range over a const-slice-of-tuple: was a divergent SEGV; now a
symmetric loud-stop on both stages (filed #122).
The store and read were a round-trip that passed test 809 only by luck
(broken store XOR broken read canceled). Fixing the read alone exposed
the silent store; rule-7 obliges fixing both, so 809 is now genuinely
correct, not luck-correct. Both faces are byte-id-blind (#263) -- the
net is a runtime round-trip pin with distinct-per-word values and a
real call clobbering the cursor registers between store and read, so a
word0-only store or read is caught. Both stages byte-identical
(990-997 green). Pin 947_tuple_index_read_run.
The #117 emit_slice_data TY_TUPLE arm fires for any foldable tuple row,
but wwstage's checker admits only the (str,*fn) shape and loud-rejects
the rest before cgen. Document the retained acceptance divergence at the
site (rule 7/8) with the #120 pointer. Comment-only, asm-neutral.
cg_widen_tagged_store only handled a tuple LITERAL (N_TUPLE / cast-of-
N_TUPLE) widened into a tagged box; any addressable non-literal tuple
source -- IDENT var, INDEX tbl[i], DEREF *p -- hit the `else fatal`
("tuple-typed source shape unwired"). Both stages loud-identical
(honest, no silent miscompile). This blocked indexing a const tuple
table into a union (regex charclass_map[i] -> charset union).
Add an addressable-tuple-source arm, both stages (cgen.c +
cgenutil.ww twin). It resolves the source address via the cgplaceaddr
place-spine (covering ident/index/deref -- one mechanism, so the trio
is family-closed) and block-copies the tuple's type-table ->size bytes
into the box payload (after the 8B tag), then stamps the variant tag.
No re-slotting: a tuple's in-memory layout uses the same eslot strides
(str=24B header, *fn=8B, ...) as the box payload the literal loop
fills, so source-layout == dest-layout. The existing narrow-pack and
tag-unresolved guards stay as the honest boundary; CALL/sret tuple
sources (different receive, #68-kin) stay loud.
align-BOTH: both stages were loud (no runtime reference), and byte-id
is structurally blind to an identical-wrong emission -- so correctness
is proven by a RUNTIME read-back pin (944_nonlit_tuple_widen_run, per
shape: match-extract + assert str header + call the fn-ptr elem with
distinct fns so a stale pointer is caught). 936's old reject row
graduates to a run row. Both stages byte-identical (990-997 green).
A tuple containing a tagged-union element, used as a union member
(e.g. ((void|size),(void|size),size) | error), loud-stopped in the
cgen return-store: the tuple-in-union store walk had scalar/float/
str/slice element arms but no TY_TAGGED-element arm. A PLAIN
tuple-in-union already worked -- the blocker was the tagged element.
Add the recursive two-level widen arm at both stages
(cg_widen_tagged_store / cgwidentaggedstorebp): for each tagged
element, re-enter the tagged-box store (inner tag@slot+0,
payload@slot+8) at the element's tuple-payload offset, then stamp the
outer tuple tag. Slot strides come from the type table
(roundup8(eu->size)) -- the checker already sizes the shape correctly
(tuple->size measured 40, union box 48; check.c:715-720). The
recursion descends a finite type tree (a tagged element is never a
tuple literal, so it can't re-enter the tuple arm); unsupported
deeper nesting still louds via the existing size/tag guards.
Both stages get the same arm -> byte-id (990-997 green; additive,
bootstrap-neutral). cstage runs the full b1c shape
(construct+return+match-extract) as the runtime reference; wwstage's
store rides on byte-id until gap-B. gap-B (wwstage checker
match-acceptance of the tuple-with-tagged case pattern) is a separate
commit -- wwstage still louds the match honestly at the checker.
Pin 944_tuple_tagged_union_run.
Reading or writing a tagged field of an indexed array element
(xs[i].field) was broken on BOTH stages, byte-identically and
silently (#263 gate-blind): the arr[i].field branches had arms for
array/str/slice/float but no TY_TAGGED arm, so the tagged field fell
to the single-word scalar path. READ loaded only the tag word (stale
payload -> `xs[i].min as T` read garbage); ASSIGN stored the raw
unboxed scalar into the tag slot, corrupting the box.
Insert a TY_TAGGED cursor arm before each scalar fallback, both
sites both stages (cgen.c read + assign; cgenexpr.ww cgdot N_INDEX-lhs
read + cgassign indexed-field). READ mirrors cg_tagged_memread
(payload -> DX/CX/R8, tag -> AX last). ASSIGN synthesizes the tag for
the concrete variant (taggedvariantindext) and stores tag+payload via
the str/slice 3-word store spine -- not the source-remap widener
(concrete rhs has no source tag to remap).
>32B / multi-word / float payloads are loud-stopped at all four arms
(emission not yet wired; see #114). That shape is reachable today via
a narrow-variant ctor, so it louds rather than silently miscompiling.
Both stages get the same arm -> byte-id preserved (990-997 green; the
runtime is the net for this #263 class). Pin 944_idx_tagged_field_run
(read/assign runtime rows + >32B expect-loud rows).
Drop the `!TY_ARRAY` exclusion in the bare-let no-rhs zero-fill (cgen.c
N_LET else + cgenstmt.ww cglet, both gated `sz>8 && !TY_ARRAY`) so an
uninit `[N]T` array local zero-fills like every other composite (Go-zero
per user ruling). The zero-fill extent is the array's chased ABI size
(lu->size / chased tinfo.size, rule-13 — never a hardcoded count*esz),
NOT the slot-padded letslotsize, so a non-8-multiple array ([20]u8 = 20)
zeroes its exact bytes instead of over-zeroing to the 24B slot. The
unrolled MOVQ/MOVL/MOVB run mirrors the existing composite path; the
largest real local array ([256]u8) is 32 MOVQs (pathbuf[4096] is a
module GLOBAL, BSS-filled — never on this stack path, so no large-fill
case exists).
Closes a gate-blind #263-class bug: `let a: [3]int;` (no init) read
whatever the stack held — a clean frame masked it (fresh stack = 0), a
dirtied frame exposed it (d_array=165 garbage). BOTH stages emitted no
fill, both-wrong-IDENTICAL, so the cs==ww byte-id net could not see it.
The load-bearing net is therefore a RUNTIME dirtied-stack zero-read
(944_array_zeroinit_run: array-elem / narrow [4]u32 / non-8-mult [20]u8
/ 2D + an initialized control), not asm presence.
Deliberate byte-id EVENT: every uninit-array source site gains zero-fill
insns, so the 990-997 .s MOVE vs the prior tree; cs==ww HOLDS (both add
the identical insns). The 990-997 byte-id + 995 self-rebuild staying
GREEN is the fixpoint proof — it proves every uninit compiler-array is
write-before-read, so the zero-fill is purely additive and the
ww1->ww2->ww3 self-rebuild fixpoint holds by construction. w6c/wwdump
main.combined.ww regenerated (cgenstmt.ww embeds there).
#84 is ARRAY-ONLY; the no-default reject-set (uninit tagged / plain-*T)
is split to #113, parked behind a ruling — selfhost relies on the
current (void|T) zero-fill (the "not-set-yet" idiom).
`&D[i]` over a module-level DEF array SEGV'd on BOTH stages: the
TK_AMP N_INDEX N_IDENT base classify checked only the local and let
legs, so a def-array base fell to a wrong else — cstage zero-based
the addend (XORQ BX,BX -> wild pointer, cgen.c) while wwstage
value-loaded the symbol (MOVQ name(SB) = D[0], not its address,
cgenexpr.ww complex-base fallback). Divergent asm, both wild.
Add one def-array leg per stage, mirroring the working let leg:
- cs: `def_isarraydef(base) -> LEAQ name(SB),BX` alongside let_islet.
- ww: the `defvartnode` fallback the read-side cgindex already takes
(cgenexpr.ww:1762) -> N_TARRAY classifies isglobalarr -> LEAQ
name(SB).
The def DATA symbol already exists (plain &D + D[i]-read work), so
once the base is the address the existing i*esz scale + ADDQ
round-trips. cs and ww now emit BYTE-IDENTICAL LEAQ-SB asm — the
both-broken -> both-correct convergence is the point (#263 class).
Rows (944_def_amp_idx_run, all 0/0 byte-id): amp_int [3]int,
amp_u32 [3]u32 esz=4 (narrow scale), amp_arg &D[2] as a func-arg;
controls ctrl_plain (&D), ctrl_read (D[i]), ctrl_2d (&M[1][1]) keep
working. *p spelled `let v: T = *p` — `*p: T` parses as `*(p: T)`.
OUT (filed #112): &D[..] slicing a def-array is a distinct parse
reject needing a Hare-fidelity ruling — not this leg.
A PLAIN (non-alias) module-level tagged-union global SEGV'd on BOTH
stages: no static DATA was emitted (let_emit_size/letemitsize returned 0
for TY_TAGGED) so the global was never registered, and the match
scrutinee resolved it as a frame-local at offset 0 — reading saved BP as
the tag. Two sub-sites, one route (neither half ships alone — DATA
without SB-resolution still SEGVs; SB-resolution without DATA reads
nothing):
(a) DATA-emitter — a non-nullable TY_TAGGED arm emits the box that
byte-MIRRORS a runtime LOCAL of the same type: tag word at +0 (the
const-selected variant index via cg_tag_for_variant / taggedvariant-
index), payload at +8, zero-padded to the union box size. int and
str/slice literal variants are wired (str carries a DATAR ptr patch
at +8); any other variant payload loud-stops (rule 7). emit_tagged_
data + emittaggeddata are the per-stage twins; let_pre_intern/
letpreintern gain the matching str-variant intern. Nullable stays 0
so the (*T|void) one-word fold keeps the 8B scalar arm.
(b) match-scrutinee global resolution — the PLAIN-tagged twin of #78:
a global tagged ident scrutinee LEAQs name(SB) and copies the box
into an @match_spill slot the dispatch indexes off BP.
DATA target (mirror of the local box, verified byte-for-byte): for
(i32|str)=42 the 32B box is tag0 | 42@8 | zero-pad; for ="x" it is
tag1 | ptr0@8(DATAR _S_n) | len@16 | cap@24. cs and ww emit byte-
identical asm.
Pins (rob §3, dual-stage 910 cstage + 997 wwstage, attest_pass.ww): the
tagged global-vs-local byte-identity pin (match over the GLOBAL gives the
same arm/value as over a LOCAL — was SEGV both stages) and the str-
variant tag-1 pin, plus the #86 tuple global-vs-local lock-pin guarding
the already-correct emitter path.
929 fail_global_src graduates: a >48B tagged GLOBAL by-value arg now
resolves through the cgplaceaddr MEMORY-class arm (LEAQ g(SB) + blit)
instead of the #38b loud-stop, and runs correctly (uninit zero box ->
first variant); the row becomes a positive run pin. The struct-variant
>48B init still loud-stops via the data emitter.
The first-class-VALUE copy of a tagged ident (`let q = g`) stays a
pre-existing silent #49/#46 sibling (local and global identically),
filed separately — out of this fold's two sub-sites.
A nominally-unrelated, structurally-equal NAMED source into a NAMED
variant (kb95_unrel: ta/tb same-layout structs, src ta -> (void|tb))
was LIVE both-wrong-identical byte-id silent: both checkers accept,
both cgens tagged 0. After c1's chain arm finds no shared chain
node, match the variant whose CHASED type type_eq's/typeeq's the
source's chased bottom — chased type EQUALITY only, no
type_is_assignable scalar import, no int widening (ken's binding
scalar warning). Same NAMED-source branch, both stages
(cg_tag_for_variant / flatvariantidxt), forced fuse.
Correctness reference, cite 1 — harec tagged_select_subtype P2+P3
(ref/harec/src/types.c:702-739), verbatim:
if (t->id == subtype->id) {
return t;
}
if (type_is_assignable(ctx, t, subtype)) {
selected = t;
++nassign;
}
...
if (nassign == 1) {
return selected;
}
return NULL;
with type_is_assignable's non-tagged path dealiasing both sides and
accepting composites only via interned pointer equality
(types.c:988-1002), verbatim:
if (type_dealias(ctx, to)->storage != STORAGE_TAGGED) {
to = type_dealias(ctx, to);
from = type_dealias(ctx, from);
}
...
if (to == from && to->storage != STORAGE_VOID) {
return true;
}
Cite 2 — type_hash interns bare composites STRUCTURALLY (banked as
types.c:72-81; verified in the vendored copy at types.c:444 +
struct/union arm :514-525), verbatim:
case STORAGE_UNION:
hash = fnv1a_size(hash, type->struct_union.packed);
for (const struct struct_field *field = type->struct_union.fields;
field; field = field->next) {
if (field->name) {
hash = fnv1a_s(hash, field->name);
}
hash = fnv1a_u32(hash, type_hash(field->type));
hash = fnv1a_size(hash, field->offset);
}
— no decl ident in the hash, so harec's two decls dealias to ONE
interned node and `to == from` holds: acceptance is DEFINITIONAL
under interning, not an arm whose text could be misread. Our store
does not intern; chased type equality is the non-interned rendering
of the same rule.
Honest divergence (the >=2-structural-match hard-error STAYS): under
harec's interning two structurally-identical variants are ONE type —
a union cannot contain it twice — so the ambiguity case is
unrepresentable there; our hard-error (twin texts, shared tail
"source structurally matches >=2 variants — ambiguous without
nominal layout (#95)") is the correct nominal-lossy-model rendering,
not a harec deviation.

A NAMED struct source that was not pointer-identical to a NAMED
variant fell through every pass of cg_tag_for_variant (cmd/w6c/
cgen.c) / flatvariantidxt (selfhost/cmd/wcc/cgenutil.ww) and the
widen stored tag 0 — both stages, byte-identical, gate-blind: wrong
tag on VALID code at any alias depth, in both chain directions
(.ai/ken-95-oracle.md §2: kb5_v2s1i, kb95_2lvl_i, kb95_deep_src,
kb95_deep_var all both-wrong-identical at base).
New pass 1b, identical both stages (the same route — forced fuse):
after pass-1 exact (unchanged, FIRST — the (str|linerr) protection,
harec's P1 short-circuit), a NAMED source matches the variant whose
NAMED chain shares a pointer-identical node with the source's chain
(an alias IS-A its base through the chain). Two linear NAMED chains
intersect iff they share their chased bottom node (ken §1), so the
walk is implemented as pointer identity of the chased ends through
type_chase_named/tichase — the blessed chase choke-point. NO raw
.under/->under hops were added, so the anticipated `peel-ok: nominal
chain walk (#95)` annotations are unnecessary and the peellint
whitelist is UNCHANGED (continues the B6/B7 fold-peels-into-chase
arc; peellint green).
Variants are counted UNGATED (bare prims are type-table singletons,
so a bare variant node can BE the source's chased bottom): the >=2
guard stays equivalent to harec's nassign>=2 -> NULL
(ref/harec/src/types.c:734-738, tagged_select_subtype P2/P3). >=2
chain hits hard-error with twin texts (prefix convention, shared
tail "source alias chain reaches >=2 variants — ambiguous without
nominal layout (#95)") — drew's ambiguity proviso extended to the
chained set; was a SILENT member-0 tag. Pass-2 bare-source fallback
unchanged. Chased type EQUALITY only — no type_is_assignable scalar
import, no int widening (ken's binding scalar warning).
Pin table (new suite test/wcc/944_variant_chain_b95_run.c, 45
checks, Makefile-wired):
GRADUATIONS exit 1->0 both stages: chain_1lvl_i (kb5_v2s1i

chain_deep_var (byte-id held), chain_call_bound81 (kb5_v2s1),
chain_call2_bound81 (kb4_v2_struct2, #95's original) — the two

(NO at base too).

both stages.

(cgenutil.ww embeds).
The last four raw `->under` reads outside the whitelist were the
static-DATA emitters' ELEMENT-type single peels (the outer type already
chased): emit_array_lit_bytes:14356, emit_strarray_data:14574,
emit_slice_data:14788, let_pre_intern:15088 -> type_chase_named.
:15088 is the :14574 row's label-order leg and must flip in the same
commit or _S_ labels intern in emit order, not decl order (the in-tree
comment at the site); the strarr row's byte-id is the coupling proof.
Behavior moves (ken B7 first-position oracle + impl pre-state, all
pre-observed at 05f7af7):
- [N]alias-struct + [N]alias-str globals graduate cs link-ERR
("undefined reference") -> 0/0 BYTE-ID (cs emits ww's DATAW).
- zero-consumer latent silence closed: a never-referenced
2-level-elem-alias global silently lacked DATA (no reference, no
link error); now emits, pinned by the byte-id cell.
- []alias-str diagnostic routing: the alias escaped the 3-way
slice-of-{str,slice,tagged} fatal onto the downstream "not a
foldable constant" text — now the intended 3-way text (== control).
- []alias-tagged DESIGNED NARROWING: the alias dodged the 3-way fatal
ENTIRELY — cs silently accepted + RAN WRONG for reachable consumer
shapes (review-verified at base: a len+payload-read probe exits 1;
the len-only row was luck-correct). Now loud with the 3-way text;
widen what the gate SEES, never what it ACCEPTS (B6-c2 precedent).
- kb7_slc/slc0 scalar legs byte-NEUTRAL (the synthesized-array
choke-point already handled them); full kb corpus sweep: movers are
exactly the two graduation shapes, nothing else.
tools/peellint (sizelint clone, dep of test/test-unit): character-scan
strips comments and string/char literals, then matches the under-token
accessor-spelling-wide — `->under`/`.under` in C (deref-dot is the
same peel), `.under` in ww, optional whitespace after the operator,
and the line-split continuation (operator at EOL, `under` next line).
Scope cmd/wcc + cmd/w6c + selfhost/cmd/wcc + lib/ww (lib/ww/typ.ww
ruled IN — it is type.c's ww mirror, the accessor layer itself);
`peel-ok`/`peellint-ok` annotations exempt a 10-line window. Green at
this tip = zero unwhitelisted raw peels survive; the gate lands in the
commit that deletes the last raw read (the-funnel-completing-commit-

Negative validation wired into 944_peellint_gate (B4 precedent):
re-introduced raw peel (C and ww spellings) REDS the lint; corrupted
annotation (peel-okk-…, token-bounded matcher) REDS the lint; the
check.ww:3683 "io.underread" prose, a code read of a longer field, and
comment-quoted tokens are pinned green regression rows; real tree must
lint clean. 944_alias_emit_b7_run pins all four emit paths
table-driven (14 rows / 36 checks) incl. ken's ww observation cells
(ww checker rejects slice-literal globals, "let: not assignable" —
unmoved; plain []str louds at ww's own emitslicedata 3-way, pinned by
the shared needle).
REVIEW AMENDMENT (reviewer-B7, fix-what-you-find): the frozen tip's
regex matcher passed five compiling evasion spellings green — `t ->
under` spacing, `t->`/EOL + `under` next-line (both stages; ww parses
`t.`/EOL too), C deref-dot `(*t).under`, ww `t. under`, and a string
literal containing a block-comment opener that blinded the regex
comment-strip for the rest of the file. The matcher is now a
character scan (comments + string/char literals stripped before
matching) with the widened token rule above; all six spellings are
pinned RED rows in 944_peellint_gate (checks 10 -> 16). The 10-line
annotation window stays as designed (a peel within an annotation's
window is exempt by construction — the window IS the exemption
mechanism). Lint + test bytes only; zero compiler-source bytes moved
in review.
What this does NOT close, said out loud (f2-ruling): a consumer that
never spells `under` at all — a switch on t->kind that simply never
peels — has no token for the lint to see. The accessor+lint closes the
WRONG-PEEL class (single-peel where chase was needed) by construction;
the NO-PEEL class is closed only at sites where classification routes
through the internalized chasing helpers, and contained elsewhere by
the acceptance-commit-carries-tripwires doctrine, which stays standing
for every future acceptance widening. The gate does not make alias
bugs impossible; it makes the four-times-burned shape unwritable.
Rule-11 note: forced fuse — the four conversions ARE the last raw-read
deletions; peellint cannot be green one commit earlier (consumer-graph
-forces-the-fuse precedent, #61).

kb6_try loud held both stages with the pinned #38b text (try_loud_38b
row); idcast/is/succ byte-id held; zero other movers.
TRAIN INVARIANT: cs-only; w6c_ww/ww_ww bit-identical to the 4cac1cb
baselines (b6bddc8e…/4e9ca874…). cs movers c3→c4 bounded to exactly
{kb6_strcast}; rest of corpus + five mains byte-NEUTRAL; detectors
unmoved; 989 ratchet zero flips.
944_alias_cgen_b6_run grows 14→18 rows, 38→49 checks: strcast_2lvl
flip + idcast_2lvl/is_2lvl controls + try_loud_38b both-loud pin.
All 944-family suites green; sizelint 0.
The exact B6-c3 set (rob b6 spec §2, numbering at 4cac1cb): :3949
(&ident classify ou), :4006 (&mod.G leaf lu), :4124/:4128 (&p.f
ptr-field fallback bu/inner), :5029/:5035/:5052 (indexed-elem
struct-field STORE elemu/inner/bu), :5937 (assign-region esub peel),
:10953/:10956 (chained N_DOT ptr lu/inner), :11046/:11052/:11067
(indexed-elem struct-field READ twin), :11285 (index-region esub peel
— gates key the chased esubu exactly as the ident arm, per the EYES
condition). Raw `->under` in cgen.c 41→27.
RE-ATTRIBUTION (ken c3-STOP addendum, adjudicated on his independent
scratch build): kb6_idxf and kb6_ampf did NOT land on the oracle's
predicted post-states — and the train direction is CORRECT anyway.
Bit-proven mechanism: post-chase cs_alias asm == ww_PLAIN (the
byte-id-gate-proven canonical dedicated shape) for BOTH rows; it is
WWSTAGE that is alias-blind at these two sites (ww_alias != ww_plain
— its indexed-elem struct-field store/read gates and the &p.f
ptr-field fallback don't fire on alias bases and fall to generic-but-
runtime-correct routes). Converging cs onto ww_alias would re-blind
cs — canonical is the convergence target. ampf's pre-c3 byte-id was
both-stages-on-the-generic-route identity (gate-blind, #263-class),
NOT M5 latency — oracle self-correction banked. Both rows pinned
K_RUN_NOID (cs-0 + ww-0, byte-id waived) + plain-control rows pin the
convergence target; they graduate to full byte-id when the filed
ww-side W2 fold (task #102) lands (ww gate chase; kw1/#100/W1 precedent; zero
metric-1 content). chdot/esub byte-NEUTRAL bound held.
TRAIN INVARIANT: cs-only; w6c_ww/ww_ww bit-identical to the 4cac1cb
baselines (b6bddc8e…/4e9ca874…). cs movers c2→c3 bounded to exactly
{kb6_idxf, kb6_ampf} — the named c3 family; both run-cells ok/0 held;
rest of corpus + five mains byte-NEUTRAL; detectors unmoved; 989
ratchet zero flips.
944_alias_cgen_b6_run grows 8→14 rows, 22→38 checks: idxf_2lvl/
ampf_2lvl NOID pins + idxf_plain_ctl/ampf_plain_ctl canonical-shape
pins + chdot_2lvl/esub_2lvl controls. All 944-family suites green;
sizelint 0.
The exact B6-c2 set (rob b6 spec §2): :8402 (callee fn-type resolve cu),
:8435 (variadic slice param vsu), :8561/:8563 + :8577/:8579 (tagged
widen-detect pu/au pairs, arg-class + #38b MEMORY-class) + the two
LOUD-PRESERVING chases :8829 (float-struct rule-7 fatal st) and :8934
(#32 tuple-arg rule-7 fatal targ). Raw `->under` in cgen.c 49→41.
LOUD-PRESERVING discipline: the :8829/:8934 chases widen what the gate
SEES, never what it ACCEPTS. DESIGNED ACCEPTANCE NARROWING (ken b6
oracle c2): kb6_fsarg2 — a 1-level-alias float-struct from a non-ident
source previously DODGED the #271/#165 fatal via the single peel; cs
accepted and GP-passed it runtime-correct by self-consistent luck
(caller+callee agreed on the wrong transport, no SSE eightbyte). Post-
c2 cs louds with the pinned #271/#165 text. ww's cell was already loud
at its own alias-return bound (#272/#276/#277 class) — fsarg2_bound
pins BOTH texts per-stage (experr_ww). fsarg0 plain control stays loud
both stages. :8934 is WATCH-ONLY (alias tuple-args are checker-blocked
upstream, #86/#99): kb5_tuparg_c two-key cells verified unmoved
(cs ok/0 + ww ok/1).
TRAIN INVARIANT: cs-only; w6c_ww/ww_ww bit-identical to the 4cac1cb
baselines (b6bddc8e…/4e9ca874…). cs movers bounded to exactly
kb6_fsarg2 (run-cell ok/0→ERR, no asm emitted — zero run-row movers);
rest of the corpus + five mains byte-NEUTRAL; kw1_101/fill2/tuparg_c/
xampdef/amplen1 detectors unmoved; 989 ratchet zero flips. kb6_sarg /
kb6_strarg / kb6_fsarg (ident twin) latent byte-NEUTRAL per ken's
structural bound.
944_alias_cgen_b6_run grows 3→8 rows, 9→22 checks: fsarg0_loud_ctl +
fsarg2_bound (per-stage experr pins; row struct gains experr_ww for
two-site loud pairs) + fsarg_ident_ctl/sarg_2lvl/strarg_2lvl controls.
All 944-family suites green; sizelint 0.
