`Analyzer.resolveTypeNode` read the array `.length` node's `.int_literal`
union field unconditionally. For a named-const dimension (`MAX :: 4;
[MAX]u8`) that node is an `identifier`, so the access tripped Zig's
checked-union panic and `sx lsp` aborted on didOpen. The main compiler
was unaffected (it folds the dim through the IR).
- New `arrayDimLength` helper switches on the dimension node tag:
int_literal → value; identifier → a recorded module-const int value;
anything else / out-of-u32-range → unknown. Never assumes a node shape.
- `Type.ArrayTypeInfo.length` is now `?u32`; null is an explicit "editor
couldn't fold this dimension" marker (rendered `[_]T`), never a
fabricated concrete length.
- New `const_int_values` registry records integer-literal consts at
registration time for the identifier path.
Regression: first `src/lsp/*.test.zig` (the minimal LSP harness), wired
into the test graph via `src/root.zig`. Drives `analyzeDocument` over
`[MAX]u8` (folds to 4, no panic), `[64]u8` (happy-path guard), and
`[N]u8` (explicit unknown). Fail-before/pass-after verified.
Sibling audit of the resolveTypeNode/fieldType family: the array dim was
the only unchecked union-field access; all other arms recurse or
tag-check first. Noted a non-crashing display gap in server.zig hover
rendering for step B.
The codegen-side resolver was already raw-aware for the universal model;
the sema/LSP editor index (the second classifier) only honored the DIRECT
raw type. A COMPOUND raw type (`*`s2`, `?`s2`, `[N]`s2`, `[]`s2`, `[*]`s2`)
stores its inner type-name as a bare string on the Type info struct, and
every resolution site re-read it with skip_builtin=false — so the index
reclassified a user type named `s2` as the builtin int, diverging from
codegen (issue-0083 class, LSP surface only; codegen unchanged).
Structural cure: every compound info struct (Pointer/Optional/Slice/
ManyPointer/Array) carries a REQUIRED is_raw bit (no default — a future
construction site cannot drop it). is_raw is set at every construction
site (resolveTypeNode arms, fieldType arms, variadic slice, .ptr/slice_expr
derivation, for-loop by-ref, substType) and passed as skip_builtin at every
resolution site (elementTypeOf, field-access pointer unwrap, index, deref,
optional unwrap/null-coalesce, if/while optional binding, match subject).
Optional-unwrap + deref sites converted from Type.fromName/pointerPointeeType
(builtin-only, divergent) to resolveTypeNameStr(name, is_raw); the now-dead
pointerPointeeType removed.
Tests: src/sema.test.zig gains pointer/optional/array raw-vs-bare
regressions (raw → user type, bare → builtin control) — each FAILS on
pre-fix sema, PASSES after — plus a parameterized-raw coverage test.
Closes the remaining three F0.6 findings so the universal backtick raw
identifier holds in BOTH classifiers and at EVERY parser construction site.
1. Struct-body constants thread is_raw + name_span. The struct-body const
forms (untyped `` `s2 :: 5 `` and typed `` `s2 : T : v ``) built the
const_decl node without name_span/is_raw, so a backtick const was falsely
rejected and a bare reserved-name const caretted at 1:1. They now capture
both. Structural cure: `ast.ConstDecl`'s name_span + is_raw carry NO
default, so the compiler rejects any construction site that omits them
(mirrors checkBindingName's required `is_raw` arg). FnDecl keeps its
defaults — every parser fn_decl routes through parseFnDecl whose
`name_is_raw` is a required parameter (equivalent guarantee).
2. Raw identifier in TYPE position flows through the normal continuations.
parseTypeExpr no longer returns a terminal type_expr for a raw atom; the
raw flag rides the atom through the qualified-path / Closure / parameterized
continuations, so `` `s2(s64) ``, `` *`s2 ``, `` ?`s2 `` all parse.
ParameterizedTypeExpr carries is_raw; resolveParameterizedWithBindings
skips the `Vector` intrinsic when raw.
3. sema/LSP (the second classifier) honors is_raw. Type.fromTypeExpr returns
null for a raw type_expr; resolveTypeNode skips the builtin classifier when
raw; resolveTypeNameStr takes a skip_builtin arg threaded from te/id.is_raw
(compound inner names pass false). A backtick reserved-name annotation now
resolves to the user type in the editor index, not the builtin.
Tests: examples/0156 (struct-body const), 0157 (parameterized raw type +
wrappers), 1142 (bare struct-body const errors, caret on name); src/sema.test.zig
pins the LSP raw-type resolution (fail-before verified). Gate: 365 unit tests,
429 examples, 0 failed.
Remove the legacy parallel type model's compiler-like surface. The
compiler pipeline resolves/lowers/lays out against canonical
src/ir/types.zig (TypeId/TypeTable); src/types.zig.Type is now strictly
editor-indexing + parse-time name metadata.
- src/types.zig: delete the type-resolution surface (widen, bitWidth,
isImplicitlyConvertibleTo) and every helper left dead once it was gone
(eql, isInt/isFloat/isSigned/isUnsigned, isTuple/isVector, and the
already-unused classification predicates isEnum/isUnion/isString/
isStringLike/isAny/optionalChild/sliceElementType/manyPointerElementType/
vectorElementType/isFunctionType/isClosureType/isCallable). Keep the Type
union plus the display/name-classification helpers sema/lsp/parser use
(fromName, fromTypeExpr, toName, displayName, isStruct/isOptional/isSlice/
isPointer/isManyPointer/isArray, pointerPointeeType). Seal the file with a
doc comment.
- src/sema.zig: inferExprType no longer calls Type.widen for arithmetic;
it approximates the display type as the left operand's (no second
resolver in the editor index).
- src/ir/type_bridge.zig: delete the dead bridgeType (legacy Type -> TypeId)
function + its sole sx_types import; resolveAstType and the AST->TypeId
path are untouched.
- src/ir/ir.zig: drop the bridgeType re-export.
- src/ir/type_bridge.test.zig: drop the two bridgeType tests (function gone).
Gate: zig build, zig build test (exit 0), tests/run_examples.sh 361/0,
zero examples/expected churn.
Architecture phase A1.2 — documentation/comment only, no behavior change.
Resolve the ambiguity over which type model compiler decisions trust:
- src/sema.zig: file-level module doc stating it is the editor symbol/type
index for the language server (navigation/completion), NOT a compiler
semantic pass. Its Type values are editor metadata; the compiler uses the
canonical TypeId/TypeTable model in src/ir/. sx requires no as-you-type type
checking -- authoritative diagnostics are produced on save by the canonical
pipeline. Added notes on SemaResult, Analyzer, resolveTypeNode, inferExprType.
No public API renamed (would churn LSP call sites).
- src/types.zig: note that Type is editor metadata only, not compiler truth;
do not expand for new compiler semantics (A8 deletes/reduces it).
- src/ir/types.zig: fix stale TypeTable.aliases comment -- it borrows
Lowering.program_index.type_alias_map (post-A1.1b).
Deleting the LSP's parallel sema diagnostic stream is A8.1, not this step.
Gate green: zig build, zig build test, bash tests/run_examples.sh (350 passed).
- types.Type: add dedicated `unresolved` variant (mirrors ir.TypeId.unresolved)
with eql/displayName arms; bridgeType maps it to TypeId.unresolved.
- sema.inferExprType + signature/field resolution: every Type.fromTypeExpr /
fromName / symbol lookup miss and call/field/index fallthrough now yields
Type.unresolved instead of a fabricated s(64). A variadic `..xs: []T` slice
element is taken from T, not a guessed "s32". Genuine literal defaults
(int=>s64, float=>f32, .len=>s64) kept.
- Builder.getRefType: an unlocatable ref (no active function / out-of-range)
returns .unresolved, not .s64 -- this is the accurate type source the pack
mono / binop / null-cmp fixes rely on, so it must not fabricate.
236 examples + unit tests (incl sema) green.
