Hare's rule (harec check.c binarithm): % and the bitwise/shift five
are integer-only; + - * / need numeric operands. ww grouped % with
the numeric ops, and compound assigns never op-checked at all, so
`a % b` on floats compiled half-lowered (live cs!=ww divergence),
`a %= 2.0` plain-stored the rhs (op silently dropped, both stages),
and `s += "cd"` garbled str headers. Gate both at the checker, both
stages; the cgen float-compound fallbacks and the three unknown-
compound legacy defaults (deref/global/local) demote to rule-7 hard
stops. 34 compound-on-tagged/str/slice fixtures re-pin from the old
cgen "not wired" stops to the earlier checker diagnostics; 3 new
reject fixtures pin the closed shapes.
Audit-driven migrate-and-retire wave (one read-only auditor per
carrier batch, verdicts row-checked through the full corpus gate):
every retired carrier's assertions are now owned by declarative
fixtures or an existing owner. 238 new fixtures land (corpus 1,239 ->
1,477; cells 2,954), covering enum/str/slice/tagged array elements,
inferred-length arrays, global slice/str zero-init and literals,
global array/pointer field reads and stores, struct-literal slice
fields, struct returns, float arithmetic, size/int limits, sort and
log-vstream behavior, place-addressed stores, and append places.
Rejection rows STRENGTHEN the old nonzero-exit checks to required
diagnostic fragments; all byte-id claims fold into the blanket
test-data-byteid sweep (now 1,142 compared, 0 pinned-divergent).
Four carriers were fully redundant with existing fixtures/lang tests
(749, 722, 765, and 771's byteid rows) and retire without new rows.
Native carriers 171 -> 147 (residual 135 -> 111).
