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.
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).
