Cstage and wwstage share the latent: check.c's N_INDEX bespoke
TY_PTR-over-TY_SLICE clause peeled the slice in `*[]T[i]` and
returned the element of the element, while wwstage's elemsizeof
had no N_TSLICE arm for the post-N_TPTR-peel elem and fell to
the 8B catch-all. Splitting leaves one stage broken on the
exact `*[]T[i]` shape the new 754 sentinel asserts byte-identical
between stages (rule 11). The companion 24B per-element copy
emit is a separate codegen wedge already pinned inline at
cmd/w6c/cgen.c:6518; out-of-scope here and noted in the fixture
header.
