CLAUDE.md §Testing + §Test-layout now describe the optional `<name>.build` JSON
config (aot + target keys, ir-only arch-gating, unknown-key-is-error) and list
it among the `expected/` files, replacing the stale standalone `.aot` marker
prose. Closes Phase 0 (corpus target-gating); next is Phase A (kw_asm keyword).
When a `.build` target doesn't match the host, the runner can't execute the
example here, so it verifies via `sx ir --target` only: asserts exit + the `.ir`
snapshot (stdout) + diagnostics (stderr), never `.stdout`. An `.ir` snapshot is
REQUIRED in ir-only mode — its absence is a loud failure, never a silent pass.
- corpus_run.test.zig: ir_only flag (target set & !hostMatchesTarget); first
dispatch arm runs `sx ir`, sets act_exit/act_err/act_ir; skip stdout in both
update and verify modes; require ir_raw.
- lock fixture 1639-platform-target-cross (asm-free main, target x86_64-linux,
checked-in .ir). Verified: corrupt .ir => IR mismatch; delete .ir => require
failure.
Test-infra only; no compiler code. zig build test green (647 corpus, 444 unit).
Two new workstreams:
- ASM: inline assembly — asm { "tmpl", "=r" -> T, "r" = expr, clobbers(.…) },
multi-return tuples; lowers via the existing llvm_api.c (no shim).
- FFI-linkage: add extern/export postfix keywords, migrate every #foreign onto
them, then purge 'foreign' from the tree (end-state invariant).
Drop current/ from .gitignore so plans + checkpoints are tracked normally
(the dir was ignored; only checkpoints had been force-added). Includes
docs/inline-asm-design.md. specs.md change left uncommitted.
