Every pool thread runs the worker at once with the same states, so a mut state in a worker was a
race nothing reported. check_worker_ref refuses a worker whose leading states include a mut one;
threads.ludic's total moves into the words the worker is handed, under the mutex. The seeds are
regenerated (ludic-dev reseed). ludic-dev test 305 passed, selfhost-test 33 passed.

- the function that calls every reducer (and the action queue) is written in the program's own
file: in the first action's file it belonged to that module, depended on every module with a
reducer, and joined a game's modules into one 69-module cycle (examples/actions/modules and a
ludic deps case hold it); the state instances, the queue and the reducers make no deps edges
- ludicc --check / ludic build --check lower the program too and write nothing, so the code
writer's refusals are in it: a bind to a function that is gone, an unknown name (and the checker
now refuses fn <missing> itself); rejects bind_missing_fn, unknown_name, registry_count_key
- def R count is refused: its constant would be PREFIX_COUNT, the registry's size
- a file's module, package, trust and numbers-float are tables, and from the check on the lookups
of functions, enums, records, globals and externs are too (tagged enums kept as a list): Maroon
Lake's check-only build went from about 20 s to 7 s including lowering, its IR from about 2
minutes to under 10 s; duplicate declarations are found by table, not a pair of loops
- threads.ludic's pool check gives each call a little work, so a busy machine cannot run them all
on the caller before a worker wakes (it failed one run in three under load)

`fn name` read `while p < fn and ...` as a reference to a function called `and`, which broke
tools/ludic-cli/glgen.ludic and so the dev tool's own build. A reference now needs the name on
the same line and not one of and / or / not / in / is. The threads example checks `fn` as a
local before `and`. Reseeded; bootstrap-cfree reproduces the seed.

- `fn name` names a top-level function as a value (E_FNREF, lowers to @fn_<name>); the worker
entry point for Job.parallel_for, which checks it takes (int, pointer-like) and returns void.
- runtime/native/threads.ll (pthreads) and threads_win.ll (Win32 SRWLOCK/CONDITION_VARIABLE): a
pool of one worker per core but one, parked between batches; every thread claims chunks by
compare-and-swap. Linked only into programs that use Job/Promise/Sync, by `ludicc -o`,
`ludic build` and the test suite's build helper.
- Sync.* is real: native mutexes, atomics as cmpxchg retry loops (neither clang takes atomicrw,
the PC's rejects seq_consistent), mutex-guarded channels, Sync.cpu_count from the OS.
- spawn/despawn on a pool thread stop the program with a located panic.
- examples/library/threads.ludic and its test; docs for fn, Job.parallel_for, Job.is_worker.
- Reseeded (bootstrap-cfree: out.ll == seed.ll). 141/141 on macOS; jobs, threads and the guard
pass on Windows from the reseeded Windows seed.
