Each banner was re-verified against the current binary (repro now behaves
correctly) and cites the actual fix location in current src/** plus the covering
regression example. Closes the stale-but-fixed backlog: 0019, 0042-0056, 0131.
No compiler change.
Surface rename of the signed integer family: s1..s64 become i1..i64
(u1..u64, usize, isize unchanged). 'string' keeps the s-prefix arm in
name classification; width parsing moves to the i-prefix arm next to
isize.
Internal TypeId tags follow the surface (.s8/.s16/.s32/.s64 ->
.i8/.i16/.i32/.i64), as do mono-key mangle fragments (ptr_i64,
tu_i64_bool) and all display/diagnostic formatting (i{d}).
Migrated in the same sweep: stdlib + examples + issue repros + FFI C
companions (shared symbol names like ffi_id_i64), expected
stdout/stderr/ir snapshots, specs.md, readme.md, CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md,
implementation_plan.md, docs/, issue writeups. Vendored stb_image and
historical flow state left untouched.
zig build test: 426/426; examples suite: 595/595.
packVariadicCallArgs stored the raw concrete arg into a [N x P] array when the
element type was a protocol, so an 8-byte struct landed in a 16-byte {ctx,
vtable} slot -> garbage vtable -> Bus error on dispatch. Now, when the slice
element type is a protocol, each arg is xx-erased to the protocol value via
buildProtocolErasure (same impl-driven machinery as the xx cast). This makes
..xs: []P the runtime, protocol-erased counterpart to the comptime
heterogeneous pack ..xs: P (which stays comptime-only): xs[runtime_i].method()
now works in an ordinary loop.
specs.md: full variadic/pack form-comparison table (concrete-vs-erased,
comptime-vs-runtime). Regression: examples/202. Issue 0052 (FIXED). 237 green.
