A method declared `name :: (self: *T) -> R #get => expr;` is invoked via
no-paren field syntax (`obj.name`) instead of `obj.name()`. It is an ordinary
method (registered `Type.method`, flagged is_get); field-access lowering and
inference dispatch to it when no real field of that name exists, by synthesizing
a no-arg `obj.name()` call routed through the normal call path (so receiver
address-of and generic binding are reused).
- Lexer/token: `#get`. Parser: parsed after the return type in parseFnDecl;
hasFnBodyAfterArrow treats it as a body marker so struct-body methods parse.
- Resolution: getAccessorFor handles a generic-struct instance and a plain
struct. A REAL field of the same name wins (a getter never shadows stored
data). An explicit postfix-deref receiver (`p.*.getter`) dispatches on the
inner pointer so it takes the working auto-deref path.
- Works on plain + generic structs (incl. getters returning the type param),
in expressions/conditions/args/loop-bounds, chained, and via a pointer
receiver. Examples: types/0196 (basic) + types/0197 (stress).
Known narrow limitations (clean errors / workarounds, not silent): a getter
RESULT used directly as a method/getter receiver (`o.gi.dbl`) errors — bind it
to a local first; a getter named `len`/`ptr` returning non-i64 mis-infers
(the .len/.ptr builtin-field shortcut).
emitSubslice handled a struct (slice/string) base and an array base, but a
many-pointer [*]T base is an LLVM pointer kind — it fell through to the else arm
that mapped the result to LLVMGetUndef(slice_ty), so a slice of a many-pointer
(mp[lo..hi]) had a garbage .len/.ptr and iterating it segfaulted.
Add a LLVMPointerTypeKind branch: the base value IS the data pointer, so GEP by
lo and len = hi - lo (the caller supplies the bound; no length is read from the
unbounded pointer). An open-ended mp[lo..] has no resolvable upper bound (a [*]T
carries no length), so lowerSliceExpr now diagnoses it instead of emitting a
.length op that yields garbage.
A List (whose items is [*]T) is now iterable with for items[0..len] (e);
applied in Scheduler.deinit. Regressions: examples/types/0195 (valid slice +
List for-each) + examples/diagnostics/1192 (open-ended rejection).
A plain union initialized with a struct literal (b : Overlay = .{ f = 3.14 })
silently miscompiled — it fell through the generic struct-literal path
(getStructFields returns empty for a union), building a malformed structInit
whose overlapping zero-fill clobbered the named member, so it read back 0.0
(and a type-pun read segfaulted).
lowerStructLiteral now detects a plain-union target and dispatches to a new
lowerUnionLiteral, which writes each named member into a union-sized slot via
the same lvalue resolver the u.member = v assignment path uses, then loads the
union value back. Validity: the named members must share one arm — a single
direct member, or several promoted members of the same anonymous-struct variant.
Overlapping members, members from different arms, and positional union literals
are rejected with a diagnostic (no silent last-wins); an empty .{} yields an
undefined union (matching the --- form).
specs.md updated. Regressions: examples/types/0194 (valid forms) +
examples/diagnostics/1191 (overlap rejection).
Assigning null/--- to a struct field picked up a leaked enclosing
target_type (the function's return type, set for the whole body), so
constNull/constUndef built a whole-struct-typed value. The oversized
store overran the field's slot and clobbered the saved frame pointer,
so the function returned to 0x0. Surfaced building a by-value-returned
struct whose array field precedes a pointer field (Scheduler.init()).
Fix: add null_literal/undef_literal to the needs_target switch in
lowerAssignment so the field's own type is used. Regression:

Move examples/*.sx and their expected/ snapshots into per-category
subfolders (examples/<category>/...). Folder = leading filename token,
with ffi-objc/ffi-jni kept whole; filenames are unchanged. The corpus
runner and LSP sweep now discover each category's expected/ dir, while
issues/ stays flat. Example 1058's repo-root-relative companion import
is made file-relative. Path strings embedded in 164 snapshots were
regenerated (path-only changes). Test-layout docs in CLAUDE.md updated.
