Every section banner dies (103 -> 0) across test/lang, the observer suites, the C carriers, and the five comment-heavy corpus fixtures; banner provenance (#N cites, carrier numbers, repair-cluster labels) folded into headers or adjacent WHY comments. Narration deleted; row provenance, ref cites, divergence pins, and layout contracts kept (fwd-ref decl-order guards and bootstrap-gate corpus rationale restored where the sweep over-cut). Comment-only proven: all 3742 wwbuild workdir .s byte-identical before/after; test-commit and test-byteid (161 lang + 1399 data, 0 pinned-divergent) green.

// Runtime contract for a whole 24B str/slice header loaded
|
|
// BY VALUE through a pointer (`let s = *h` where h:*str / h:*[]T). C1b (#4):
|
|
// the N_UN TK_STAR deref arm fell through to a scalar MOVQ (AX),AX that loaded
|
|
// ONLY word0 (.ptr); .len/.cap were then stored from stale BX/CX, so len(*h)
|
|
// and cap(*h) read garbage. byte-id proves the two stages agree, NOT that the
|
|
// emitted code is correct (this gap was byte-id-identical on both stages).
|
|
//
|
|
// WHY the decoy: the pre-fix bug leaves .len/.cap in whatever BX/CX happened to
|
|
// hold. A naive `let backing="abcde"; let s=*h` PASSES even broken, because the
|
|
// literal's header-load left BX/CX = backing's own len/cap moments earlier —
|
|
// the exact register coincidence that let this class hide. Each fn interposes a
|
|
// DIFFERENT-sized decoy header right before the deref, so any stale BX/CX hold
|
|
// the decoy's len/cap (≠ backing's). Verified: with the fix reverted all four
|
|
// fns RED, with the fix all GREEN. The s[i] element reads additionally pin .ptr
|
|
// (loaded into AX) — covering the whole header on str and slice, in both the
|
|
// let-bind and fn-return shapes that propagate the bug.
