feat(lang): L4 type checker between parse and emit
selfhost/check/ walks every function, the entry, tests, globals' initializers and @On listeners with real scopes, and refuses mixed number kinds, text and numbers, two record types, mismatched slices and fn types, wrong argument counts, wrong returns and wrong push elements - every mix-up at once, each at its line. LUDIC_CHECK_REPORT=1 lists them by category. pointer stays untyped (L7's). What it found is fixed: render3d's HDR scan calling the float-bits extern f_lt with floats; ludic.shooter's right-stick aim overflowing past half a push; prof.ludic storing longs in []int; extern arguments now coerced to their parameters. Text-returning runtime functions say string; Assets.ready says bool. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

|
||||
### Types are checked before anything is emitted
|
||||
|
||||
Between the parse and the emitter a checker walks every function, the entry, the tests, the
|
||||
globals' initializers and every `@On` listener, and refuses a program whose types do not agree -
|
||||
all of its mix-ups at once, each at its own line:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
trip.ludic:12: error: metres wants an int and this is a float
|
||||
trip.ludic:14: error: area takes 2 argument(s) and this call gives 1
|
||||
trip.ludic:20: error: + of a string and an int: text joins text only - write string(x) for a number
|
||||
3 type error(s)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
What it holds apart: `int`, `float`, `fixed` and `bool` (a float or a fixed into an int is
|
||||
`int(x)`; a float and a fixed never meet but by a literal, which takes whichever kind its slot is);
|
||||
text and numbers (`string(n)` or a template); one record type and another; slices of different
|
||||
elements; functions of different types. A call gives exactly as many arguments as there are
|
||||
parameters, a `return` gives the declared result, and `push` gives the slice's own element.
|
||||
|
||||
`pointer` is untyped, as `void *` is in C: it goes wherever a reference is wanted and takes any
|
||||
reference, and a `[]pointer` any slice of references. Restricting what a raw pointer may reach is
|
||||
`unsafe`'s job, not the checker's. Bits cross between kinds by name - `as_int(x)` / `as_fixed(n)`
|
||||
reinterpret a word, `float_bits(f)` / `float_from_bits(i)` a float's - never by a slot's type.
|
||||
|
||||
A name the checker cannot type (an engine namespace's arguments, a query's bindings) agrees with
|
||||
everything, so it only ever reports what it can prove; the emitter keeps its own checks behind
|
||||
it. `LUDIC_CHECK_REPORT=1` lists every mix-up by category and fails nothing, which is how an
|
||||
existing program is measured before it has to pass.
|
||||

||||
## Models (entity kinds)

||||
|

An `model` names a *kind* of entity and the fixed set of properties it
