Flip the soft-default to a hard "missing package clause" error symmetrically in
both stages (cmd/wcc/parse.c + lib/ww/syntax/parse.ww): the first real decl of a
primary section with empty pathmod/resetmod and no seen clause is now rejected.
Closes the documented soft-default divergence (the 63-wrapper carve-out).
The gate flip can't be split from the migration it breaks, so this is one atomic
commit: ~80 test/wcc wrappers gain `package main;` via a shared wwtestpkg.h
helper, 6 data fixtures plus 17 asm-grep assertions update for the bare->main.<leaf>
root-helper mangle shift, and rt/ declares `package rt;` with @symbol pinning the
bare rt_ensure/rt_malloc linker names.
Root mangling narrows: the executable entry `main` stays bare (existing
carve-out), but root helper symbols become main.X. The #84 cluster is rewritten
to assert main.run distinct from aa.run/test.run; its cgen fix and bare machinery
are retained — still load-bearing for package-less module-reset deps. New
table-driven test 782_strict_package.c (6 rows, both stages).
Retiring //ww:module-reset is deferred to #24b: it is load-bearing (clears the
.wwi pathmod so the body's package clause asserts), not a vestige; fusing its
removal here would be a silent mismatch.
All byte-id gates green; full make test reports "all 335 tests passed".
Wwstage cgindex's base-inspection (cgenexpr.ww) only computed esz/
signed_elem when base.kind == N_IDENT or N_DOT. For a chained
`names[i][k]` (names: **u8) the outer N_INDEX has base.kind ==
N_INDEX; esz fell through to the default 8 so the outer load
emitted `MOVQ (AX), AX` over a 1-byte u8 plus a stray
`MOVQ $8, CX; IMULQ CX, AX` scaling on the outer index that cstage
doesn't emit. Wrong-width-narrow-load: the byte was read as 8 bytes
(reaching into adjacent memory) and the outer offset multiplied by
sizeof *u8 instead of sizeof u8.
Cstage walks n->lhs->type directly via the typed AST
(cmd/w6c/cgen.c idx_eff → eff->sub->size at N_INDEX). Wwstage
needed the parallel via indexvaluetnode — return the value-type
of an N_INDEX expression by stripping one element layer off base's
type, recursing for chained inner. cgindex's else-if chain now
adds the N_INDEX arm: call indexvaluetnode + elemsizeofc/
elemissignedc.
Class A wwstage cgen UNDER. Surfaced first time the codebase
exercised the **T[i][k] shape — through expanddir in
selfhost/cmd/ww/main.ww (post-#22 dir-enum, commit 9e0816e). The
workaround there split names[i][k] into `let nm: *u8 = names[i];
nm[k]` to route through the bare-pointer index path. Retired in
this commit: expanddir uses the natural chained form since the
read path is now byte-identical across stages.
Bundling justification (rule 11): the workaround retirement is
the in-tree verification this fix works — without retiring,
neither bootstrap byte-id nor 995_self_rebuild exercises the
chained read shape. Test 739_chained_index pins cstage-byte-
identical asm for **u8 (MOVZBQ load, 1 inner-stride-8 IMULQ pair,
no outer scale) + **i32 (MOVSXD load, inner $8 + outer $4 IMULQ
pairs).
Sister latents filed (no in-tree consumer, no probe):
Task #27 — cgassign chained-write N_INDEX: write path
`names[i][k] = v` for **u8 has the same dispatch gap. Selfhost +
lib grep is empty.
New latent (filed during review) — cgindex N_DOT base on chained
index: `obj.mat[i][k]` over a struct-field base falls back to
esz=8. indexvaluetnode currently handles N_IDENT + N_INDEX bases
only.
113/113 ok. ww2 == ww3 == ww4 byte-id.
