The wwstage nodeisstr/nodeisslice recognizers were name-keyed for
every non-local shape: an indirect fn-pointer callee ((*f)() — the
errnotest #59.5 divergence, streq receiving a shifted register file)
and module-global let/const idents (path.sepstr — union-widen pushes
zero-filled len/cap) both fell to false while cstage keys off the
checker stamp unconditionally. Both recognizers now fall back to the
stamped n.type_; push and pop sites share them, so the drain stays
balanced by construction. Graduates the #59.5 errnotest pin.
x.slicefield[:] / x.strfield[2:] emitted MOVQ $0 for the omitted hi
bound on BOTH stages (N_IDENT-gated dispatch; symmetric, so byte
identity never caught it) in all four sites: cgexpr N_SLICE + pushargs
(cstage), cgslice + pushargsrev (wwstage). The new arm re-evaluates
the pure field read for its {ptr,len,cap} header and takes .len,
covering local, viaptr, dot-chain, (*p), arr[i], and global inners.
Call inners still loud-reject upstream. Sibling of the #252/#257
array-field arms.
let x: []T = g.buf on a module-global struct dispatched only str
fields to the 3-word header load; a []T field fell to the scalar
tail (ptr word only), so len/cap read stale registers and the shape
was byteid-divergent against cstage's TY_STR||TY_SLICE arm (#263).
The four graduated pin families byte-compared under test-data-byteid
but their original fixtures masked the miscompiles at runtime (lone
frame slot, dead code path, pointer accident). Add the discriminating
programs as run fixtures: adjacent-element clobber for the 2-byte
deref store, second-variant match dispatch for fn-type dedup, payload
integrity across the tagged widen of a padded struct, and base64
clear() actually zeroing its buffers. Corpus pins move to 1,229
fixtures / 137 run / 766 run-exit / 2,458 cells with the new identity
hash; the data-byteid floor moves to 915.
Every probe's assertion is owned by a current gate: the compile and
link probes by make all and the bootstrap fixed point; build/run and
cs/ww byte identity by the fixture corpus, test-data-byteid, and
989_lib_byteid; wwstage driver and toolchain parity by 993/995;
checker-diagnostic parity by the corpus' both-stage //ww:error rows.
The wwdump -t/-a dump-parity probes gated the frontend port's
convergence, which the compiler-output identity gates now own end to
end; carrier ran green at retirement.
What was still uniquely alive migrates: smoke.ww becomes corpus
fixture selfhost_smoke (upgraded from a cstage-only build to both
frontends, byte-identical, exit 42 on both toolchains; corpus pins
move to 1,225/763/2,450 with the new identity hash in the same
commit), and sym_link.ww's scope/sym behavior rows become in-language
lib/ww/syntax/symtest.ww under LIBRARY_TESTS. uses.ww (parser-stub-era
-a fixture) and the already-orphaned tagged_ptr_ret.ww/trypromote.ww
retire with the probe corpus. Bootstrap native gates drop to six;
frontend numeric-sync comments now cite the rule-6 mirror instead of
the retired diff probe.
Discovers test/wcc/data, hard-pins corpus identity (1,224 fixtures,
314 error / 12 compile / 136 run / 762 run-exit, sha256 name hash),
schedules both frontend cells per fixture through os.exec with
per-cell capture dirs, and emits the strict wwfix TSV result stream.
integration.sh is the black-box owner of the CLI/protocol boundary.
