Two type-resolution paths silently resolved a non-type AST node in type
position to a zero-field `{}` struct that reached codegen with no
diagnostic:
- a dotted `type_expr` / field-access (`g.a`, `g` a runtime value) whose
prefix is not a namespace alias
- an `error_type_expr` (`!Name`) whose `Name` is not a declared error set
Now both reject loudly:
- `resolveTypeWithBindings` (lower.zig): "expected a type, found a value
'<name>' in type position" + `.unresolved`
- `checkTypeNodeForUnknown` (semantic_diagnostics.zig): validates a named
`!E` against the declared error-set names — "unknown error set
'<name>'" / "expected an error set after '!', found type '<name>'".
A bare `!` (void channel) and a declared `!E` in return position stay
valid; namespace-qualified types (`pkg.Type`) are unaffected.

// Regression (issue 0189): a non-type expression used in TYPE position must be
|
|
// rejected with a clear diagnostic — never silently resolved to a fabricated
|
|
// zero-field empty struct `{}` that ships to codegen as a real type.
|
|
//
|
|
// Two fabrication paths are covered:
|
|
//
|
|
// 1. A dotted `type_expr` / field-access (`g.a`, `g` a runtime VALUE, `a` a
|
|
// field) in type position — both the bare annotation `x : g.a = ---;` and
|
|
// the `Tuple(i32, g.a)` element form hit the same `resolveTypeWithBindings`
|
|
// dotted-name guard. A dotted name whose prefix is not a namespace alias is
|
|
// a value field access, not a qualified `pkg.Type` path → "expected a type,
|
|
// found a value".
|
|
//
|
|
// 2. A named `!E` (error-set type) whose `E` is not a declared error set —
|
|
// an undeclared name or a value name after `!` silently fabricated a `{}`
|
|
// stub via `resolveErrorType` -> `resolveNominalLeaf`. The
|
|
// `error_type_expr` arm of `checkTypeNodeForUnknown` now validates it →
|
|
// "unknown error set" (undeclared / value) or "expected an error set"
|
|
// (a declared non-error-set type).
|
|
//
|
|
// A bare `!` (the void failable channel) and a DECLARED `!E` in return position
|
|
// stay valid — exercised in examples/errors and not flagged here.
