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.
extractTypeParam's slice arm only extracted from slice-typed args, so
first(a) with a : [3]s64 at first :: (xs: []$T) -> T left T unbound
and the mono body reached LLVM emission carrying the .unresolved
sentinel (panic). The arm now also extracts from array args via the
array's element type — mirroring the array→slice promotion concrete
slice params already perform; the existing arg coercion handles the
rest.
lowerGenericCall additionally diagnoses any still-uninferrable TYPE
param at the call site instead of monomorphizing unbound — the
deliberate string-at-[]$T gap used to hit the same sentinel panic and
now errors with a source-located message. Comptime value params
($N: u32) and ..$Ts packs bind through their own dispatch and stay
exempt.
Regressions: examples/0212-generics-array-arg-slice-param.sx (scalar /
u8 / struct elements + the slice spelling) and
examples/1168-diagnostics-generic-param-uninferrable.sx (string arg
diagnostic) — both failed pre-fix.
