With 0115's own-wins globals landed, the remaining tail modules join
std.sx: every '#import "modules/std.sx"' now carries mem/xml/log/fs/
process/socket/json/cli/hash/test as namespaces (trace stays a direct
import).
Enablers in the same change:
- emit: dead-global elimination — a plain-data global no instruction
references is not emitted, so tail modules' data (hash's 64-entry K
table, OS/ARCH/POINTER_SIZE) stays out of binaries that don't use it.
Comptime-backed globals keep their #run evaluation. 37 pinned IR
snapshots regenerated (dead globals dropped + string renumbering from
the larger module).
- 1055/1056 stop pinning the global error-tag ordinal (it shifts with
program composition); they assert nonzero + tag identity + name.
- specs/readme/CLAUDE.md tail docs updated.
A `-> (Enum, !E)` `return .variant` lowered the enum literal with
`target_type` set to the full failable tuple `(Enum, !E)` instead of the
success value type. The bare literal resolves its tag against `target_type`;
against a tuple it matched no variant (silent tag 0) and was stamped with the
tuple type, so `lowerFailableSuccessReturn` saw `val_ty == ret_ty` and took the
forwarding branch — returning the half-built `{value, undef}` aggregate and
never appending the `0` error slot. Every runtime read of the slot on the
success path (`cast(s64) e`, bare `if e`, `e == error.X`) saw garbage nonzero;
only the compile-time `if !e` proof masked it. The s32 case was already correct
because integer literals don't resolve variants against `target_type`.
Fix: in lowerReturn, narrow `target_type` to `failableSuccessType(ret_ty)` for
a value-carrying failable before lowering the returned expression. The enum
literal then resolves to its real ordinal and is typed as the value type, so
the success path correctly appends `0`. Forwarding (`return call()` / explicit
`(v, e)`) is unaffected — those still yield a value typed equal to the tuple.
Regression: examples/1055-errors-enum-value-failable-error-slot.sx reads the
error slot at runtime on the success path (cast, bare if, == error.X), checks a
non-zero ordinal (.blue=2, also corrupted to 0 pre-fix), and asserts the error
path still carries the right tag + error_tag_name. Fails pre-fix, passes after.
