Enum payloads, union fields, inline struct/enum/union field types, and
named error-set references now resolve through the visibility-aware
`inner` recursion hook (the same seam `resolveCompound` uses) instead of
the flat `findByName`. A bare type name in any of these positions now
selects the querying module's OWN author over a same-name namespaced
import -- the own-wins rule already applied to top-level named references
and struct fields.
- buildEnumInfo / buildUnionInfo / resolveInlineEnum / resolveInlineStruct
/ resolveInlineUnion / resolveErrorType take the `inner: anytype` seam;
registerEnumDecl / registerUnionDecl and the struct-const annotation
pass `self` (visibility-aware); resolveAstType passes the stateless `si`.
- resolveTypeWithBindings routes inline type decls and named error refs
through `self` instead of delegating to flat resolveAstType.
Regression tests: examples/0781 (top-level enum payload over a namespaced
import), examples/0784 (inline struct field). Addresses issue 0132's
broader latent class; the protocol-return case (0132 primary) is a
separate registerProtocolDecl fix and stays open. The error-set reference
path is in place but dormant pending error-set per-decl nominal identity
(issue 0134).
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.
Renamed fn aliases failed for EVERY kind (the filed pack-only scope was
a same-name confound: same-name re-exports already resolved through the
name-keyed fn_ast_map). scanDecls now follows ident-/ns.X-RHS const
alias chains (aliasedFnDecl; 0120's hop walk extracted as
followAliasChain) and registers the alias name in fn_ast_map
(absent-only), so every dispatch path — early pack/comptime/generic,
plain lazy-lower, plan-side typing — sees the target decl unchanged.
my_print :: s.print; / my_format :: s.format; now work (the std.sx
re-export shape). Regression: examples/0546 (+rich). Gates: zig build
test 0, suite 588/588.
BoxAlias :: Box; / Box :: r.Box; now resolve instantiation, methods,
annotations, and chains through the aliased template, and re-export one
flat-import level as ordinary own decls (the facade shape the std.sx
restructure needs). selectGenericStructHead consults aliasedStructTemplate
(nominal.zig) before the global template map — own-wins/single-flat alias
author, each hop pinned to the alias author's source, ns.X RHS through
namespaceAliasVerdictFrom, depth-capped. resolveTypeCallWithBindings'
silent .unresolved tail (panicked in LLVM emission) now diagnoses
"unknown type". Also aligns the stale pre-existing calls.test.zig UFCS
plan test with the opt-in model (a47ea14). Regression: examples/0211
(+rich/+facade). Gates: zig build test 426/426, suite 587/587.
The globals registry (global_names) was last-wins across modules with no
per-importer gate: any module's bare K could read/write/type against an
unrelated module's same-named global (hash.sx's K table hijacked every
user K once std's namespace tail pulled hash into the program), and an
own const of an unsupported shape borrowed another module's const and
panicked at the unresolved-type tripwire.
- var_decl joins RawDeclRef: module globals are selectable raw authors.
- selectGlobalAuthor (the globals analogue of F2's selectModuleConst):
own author wins, one flat-visible author resolves, >=2 distinct flat
authors diagnose loudly, authored-but-not-visible diagnoses, and a
compiler-synthesized global (no raw author) emits untracked. A var_decl
author whose per-source registration was deduped at flat-merge (two
modules declaring the same extern symbol) serves the symbol's
registration.
- All bare-identifier global sites route through it: value read, addr-of,
assignment (store + compound), lvalue address, fn-ptr call, call param
typing, and expression type inference.
- selectModuleConst gains .own_opaque: an own const author with no
materialized per-source value (e.g. an array '::' const) blocks
borrowing another module's same-named const — the read diagnoses
cleanly instead of panicking.
- The fn-as-VALUE arm admits raw-facts-only authors: an own fn whose name
a flat-merge collision dropped from the global decl list (first-wins)
now resolves via author selection for func_ref/closure/Any shapes too.
Regressions: examples 0835 (own const vs flat array global), 0836 (main
const vs namespaced array global, incl. inference), 0837 (own array
const never borrows cross-module — clean unresolved).
Two coupled capabilities on the road to the std restructure
(current/PLAN-STDLIB.md, issue 0114):
1. alias.Type.method() / alias.Type as a call head, alias.CONST, and
alias.Enum.variant now resolve — previously only alias.fn() and
type-position alias.Type worked. objectIsValue treats an
alias-rooted field_access as a type head; the call path strips the
alias to the existing Type.method machinery; lowerFieldAccess
resolves alias.CONST pinned to the target module and alias.Enum.x
as a typed enum literal; resolveTypeWithBindings resolves qualified
type_exprs pinned to the target.
2. The carry rule: namespaceAliasTarget resolves an alias from the
file's own edges first, then from DIRECT flat imports (one level),
diagnosing two distinct carried targets as ambiguous. All qualified
shapes work through a carried alias — the std.sx namespace tail
(mem.GPA.init() etc.) is now expressible.
Regression: examples/0831-modules-namespace-alias-carry.sx (direct +
carried, all seven shapes).
Sweep all src/**.zig comments that cite resolved issues (issue NNNN /
fix-NNNN / KB-N): the invariant or mechanism each comment states is
kept; the historical citation is dropped, per the no-conclusion-comments
rule. Pure-history parentheticals are removed outright. References to
the 16 still-open issues (0030, 0041-0056) are untouched, as are test
NAMES carrying regression provenance (matching the sanctioned
"Regression (issue NNNN)" example-header convention).
Also removes the issues/0019-import-non-transitive-c-scope/ fixture dir
— the issue is superseded and its behavior is covered by
examples/0706-modules-import-non-transitive.sx (the .md writeup stays).
issues/0030's repro .sx stays: that issue is an open feature request.

Review follow-up to the ARCH-B split (comment/import hygiene only, no
code changes):
- Section banners that travelled to the wrong file with the B1-B8 cuts
are reworded to describe the section that actually follows (e.g.
stmt.zig's trailing "Expression lowering", expr.zig's "Control flow"
before lowerChainedComparison) or deleted where nothing follows
(4 trailing-at-EOF banners). ffi.zig's facade note no longer claims
the IMP builders "stay here" (they live in lower/objc_class.zig);
protocol.zig's namespace-lookup banner now points at
pack.zig:resolvePackProjection for the orchestrator.
- lower.zig's two lower/expr.zig alias blocks (B8.1 + B8.2 appends)
merged into one.
- 448 unused header decls pruned from the 15 lower/*.zig files (each
had inherited lower.zig's full import block; pruned to fixpoint so
cascading type-extraction consts went too).
Gate: zig build OK; zig build test 426/426; run_examples 541/0; zero
expected/ snapshot churn.
Verbatim relocation of the 23-method nominal-type cluster (struct/enum/
union/error-set registration, anon-type qualification, nominal-id
stamping, shadow-slot reservation, named-type interning, generic struct
templates + alias registration) plus the nested ShadowTypeDecl union
into src/ir/lower/nominal.zig. 23 aliases on Lowering keep all call
sites unchanged.
Method pub-flip: instantiateGenericStruct. nominal.zig reaches
VisibleStructAuthor and structDeclOfRaw (both relocated to decl.zig in
B4.1) via Lowering-namespace alias consts.
