+> and the VM models `.type_value` natively (`554871b`). **697/0 BOTH gates + 494 unit tests.**
+> `first_user` is now **100** (slots 20–99 reserved builtin headroom so future builtins don't

+> port the **WRITE side** (declare_type / register_type / pointer_to) into `Vm.callCompilerFn` +
+> give the lowering-time path a **REAL Context** (CAllocator thunk func-refs, not zeroed) → the
+> first **HANDLED** lowering-time type-fn end-to-end on the VM. Today those type-fns run partway on
