In cmd/wcc/check.c the pass-1.5 SK_USE→SK_DEF/SK_FN/SK_VAR promotion
sites forgot to set prev->use_alias = 1 when the imported module's
top-level decl shadowed the SK_USE leaf in flat scope. Downstream
dot-prefixed lookups (resolve_typename L77, N_DOT L709) gate the
module-head walk on (SK_USE || use_alias), so `mod.flag` resolution
fell through to "unknown type". The SK_TYPE precedent at L1660 had
the line; the three sister sites at L1709/L1722/L1736 now do too,
in the same one-line shape and field-set order.
The wwstage selfhost/cmd/wcc/check.ww uses coexistence rather than
in-place promotion: SK_USE and same-leaf SK_TYPE/FN/DEF/VAR live as
separate entries differentiated by sym.mod, and scopelookupinmodule's
mod-filter already disambiguates dotted lookups — no use_alias flag
needed, so the cstage bug is structurally non-reachable there. An
architectural note at installdecl documents this divergence-by-design
and warns against porting the flag (adding a field to `sym` changes
its size and risks the wwstage cgen amalloc-undersize trap).
Audit covered every SK_USE→SK_X promotion path in check.c (4 sites:
SK_TYPE already-correct as precedent, SK_DEF/SK_FN/SK_VAR fixed). The
surfacing case was lib/fnmatch: `fn fnmatch(...)` shadows the SK_USE
leaf, so `fnmatch.flag` failed in worker-fnmatch's WIP — that test
(972_fnmatch_run) now flips PASS as live integration proof.
test/wcc/699_use_promote_alias.c pins all four rows with a single
table-driven driver (type/fn/def/var → use mod; let m: mod.flag =
mod.flag.A; return m: i32, expecting exit 42 per row). 995_self_rebuild
byte-identity holds.
Hare-style `@test fn check_foo() void = { ... }` now parses. The
attribute is recognised by making the args list optional in
parseattrs: `@symbol("rt_syscall")` still requires the parens;
`@test` doesn't. Same change mirrored in lib/ww/parse/decl.ww.
The runner (test/wcc/910_at_test.c) scans a fixture for
`@test fn IDENT(`, synthesises a wrapper `main()` that calls each
test fn, builds it via `ww run`, and asserts exit 0. A failing
@test would either explicitly call abort or trip a runtime trap
(div-by-zero, etc.) and the whole driver exits non-zero.
The 910_at_test target sits alongside the existing C-side test
binaries; `make test` now runs 20 tests instead of 19.
Fixture: test/wcc/data/attest_pass.ww exercises two passing tests
(simple arithmetic and a match-with-yield).
