Wires the dormant `Value.type_tag(TypeId)` variant in interp.zig
so Type values flow through the comptime interpreter as
first-class kind-distinguished entities. No source-language
construction path yet — that's a follow-up. This commit is the
infrastructure foundation.
Audit findings (from interp.zig switch-walk):
- Every `else =>` arm over Value is either already loud
(`bailDetail` / `error.TypeError`) or a pass-through helper
(`materializeCtxArg`, `materializeForCall`, `resolveSlotChain`)
where transit-unchanged is semantically correct for type_tag.
No new silent paths introduced by activating the variant.
- The three pre-existing `.type_tag => return bailDetail(...)`
arms (store-at-raw-ptr, deref-non-pointer, unbox-non-aggregate)
already cover the disallowed paths cleanly.
New plumbing:
- `Op.const_type: TypeId` — dedicated opcode. Never piggybacks
on `const_int`. Result IR-type is `.any` to signal "untyped
at runtime" so downstream coercions fail loudly.
- `Builder.constType(tid)` constructor.
- Interp arm emits `Value{ .type_tag = tid }` for the op.
- emit_llvm arm bails loudly + emits an undef-i64 placeholder
(Type is comptime-only — if a Type ever reached LLVM emit,
some upstream builder leaked through; the diagnostic + LLVM
verifier downstream surface the offending site).
- `print.zig` arm prints `const type(<typeName>)`.
- `Value.asTypeId() ?TypeId` helper — the kind-honest accessor
for Type values. asInt/asFloat/asBool/asString continue to
return null for `.type_tag` (no silent coercion).
- `evalCmp` arm for `.type_tag, .type_tag` — TypeId equality.
Mixed `.type_tag` vs `.int` deliberately falls through to
the typeErrorDetail bail (a Type is not an int).
Tests (src/ir/interp.test.zig):
- `const_type yields type_tag` — confirms the variant is
produced and that asTypeId/asInt distinguish correctly.
- `type_tag comparison` — exercises cmp_eq on equal and
unequal pairs, asserts the right bool comes back.
208/208 example tests + `zig build test` green. No user-visible
behaviour change yet — `.type_tag` is constructible from Zig-
side IR builders but no sx-level syntax produces it. Next slice
wires `$args` lowering (or `$args[i]` in expression position)
to emit `const_type` per pack element.
