agra c21b683b08 docs(issues): mark 17 already-fixed issues RESOLVED with verified banners
Each banner was re-verified against the current binary (repro now behaves
correctly) and cites the actual fix location in current src/** plus the covering
regression example. Closes the stale-but-fixed backlog: 0019, 0042-0056, 0131.
No compiler change.

# 0056 — parameterised-protocol impl not deduped across a diamond import
> **RESOLVED.** An anonymous `impl_block` has no `declName`, so the flat decl
> list's name-keyed dedup let the same cached AST node (shared by both diamond
> paths) be appended twice — `registerParamImpl` in `src/ir/lower.zig` then saw
> two same-module entries and raised "duplicate impl 'Into' for source 'i64'".
> Fixed in `ResolvedModule.mergeFlat` (and the directory-import merge loop) in
> `src/imports.zig`, which now also dedup by node identity via a `seen_nodes:
> AutoHashMap(*Node, void)`. Regression test: `examples/0709-modules-issue-0056-diamond-param-impl.sx`.
**FIXED** (`examples/issue-0056-diamond-param-impl.sx`, helpers in
`examples/issue-0056/`). The flat decl list in
[src/imports.zig](../src/imports.zig) now dedups by **node identity** as well
as by name. `ResolvedModule.mergeFlat` and the directory-import merge loop each
carry a `seen_nodes: std.AutoHashMap(*Node, void)` alongside the existing
`seen_in_list` name set, and skip a decl whose pointer was already appended.
## Symptom
A module containing a parameterised-protocol impl (`impl Into(T) for S`) could
not be imported through more than one path. Under a diamond —
```
main ─┬─ mid_a ─┐
└─ mid_b ─┴─ common (holds `impl Into(Wrapped) for i64`)
```
— compilation failed with:
```
error: duplicate impl 'Into' for source 'i64' in .../common.sx
```
This bit the moment `modules/std/objc.sx` (imported by `main.sx`,
`platform/uikit.sx`, and `gpu/metal.sx` — a diamond) gained an
`impl Into(*NSString) for string`.
## Root cause
`mergeFlat`/`addOwnDecl` dedup the global flat decl list by
`decl.data.declName()`. Named decls (structs, fns, runtime classes) dedup
fine across diamonds. But `impl_block` is anonymous — `declName()` returns
`null` (see [src/ast.zig](../src/ast.zig) `Data.declName`) — so the dedup
guard was skipped and the **same cached** impl node (modules are cached in
`ModuleCache`, so both paths share one node pointer) was appended once per
path. `registerParamImpl` in [src/ir/lower.zig](../src/ir/lower.zig) then saw
two entries with the same `defining_module` and raised the same-file
"duplicate impl" diagnostic.
The pre-existing `impl Into(Block) for Closure(...)` in
`modules/std/objc_block.sx` never tripped this because that module is not
imported through any diamond.
## Reproduction
`examples/issue-0056/common.sx`:
```sx
Wrapped :: struct { v: i64; }
impl Into(Wrapped) for i64 {
convert :: (self: i64) -> Wrapped {
return .{ v = self };
}
}
```
`mid_a.sx` / `mid_b.sx` each `#import "common.sx";`. The diamond main:
```sx
#import "modules/std.sx";
#import "issue-0056/mid_a.sx";
#import "issue-0056/mid_b.sx";
main :: () -> i32 {
w : Wrapped = xx 7; // pre-fix: duplicate impl 'Into' for source 'i64'
print("{}\n", w.v); // post-fix: prints 7
0;
}
```
## Fix
Dedup the flat decl list by node identity in addition to name — a physical
AST node must be lowered once regardless of how many import paths reach it.
Named-decl first-wins behaviour is unchanged. Regression test:
`examples/issue-0056-diamond-param-impl.sx` (in `tests/run_examples.sh`).
