Every allocation the compiler emits goes through @lp_malloc/@lp_calloc/@lp_realloc/@lp_free, and a
Ludic-level one first stores its site (function, file, line, kind) in @lp_site. Off, that is one load
and a predictable branch (30 M allocations: 0.87-0.91 s against 0.87-0.90 s on leaks2).
On (the default in a headless build, and windowed under R3D_DEV), tracking starts at the first frame
on its own and judging once R3D_ALLOC_WARM frames in a row kept nothing (600) or R3D_ALLOC_WARM_MAX
after (re)start; Mem.play()/Mem.rewarm() sends a load back to its warm-up. A judged frame that ends
holding more than it began with is reported by site with its callers (the unwinder, taken only once
judging) and fails the run with exit 86 (R3D_ALLOC_FENCE=off|count|warn|fail). R3D_ALLOC_CENSUS
writes the totals and top sites at exit. The build's defaults are --fence=, --fence-warm=,
--fence-census= or a fence line in the program's package.ludic; the environment overrides them.
The runtime is IR (emit_fence_ir.ludic, generated from a template); tracking is a side table in one
calloc'd region, so no block carries a header and pointers crossing to natives stay safe. Examples
alloc_fence, alloc_fence_leak and alloc_fence_auto with cases in ludic-dev test; reseeded.

Found by reading every builtin (Os.platform's 8 KB per call started it). Log builds its line only at
or above the threshold and frees it; DateTime.format folds through + so its pieces go; Input.text
encodes into one buffer; Path/Mime/Fs/Os free their temporaries on every path; string results of
Text/Path/Mime/DateTime/Os dirs are fresh and Text frees a fresh argument. Reseeded.
runtime_temps.ludic: 19.8 MB -> 0 over 20,000 rounds, 64 KB -> 0 over 200 of file work; clean under
MallocScribble. string_temps still 0.

Text.to_float reads a leading decimal number (strtod), the twin of Text.to_int, for data files.
A return with a value in a function that returns nothing now says so where it is, instead of
reaching clang as 'store void'. Seed regenerated.

- `[a, b, c]` list literals (E_LIST → emit_list); static_type learns
slice-element, `new T`, list, string and literal kinds
- `x op= y` lowers through the same path as `x = x op y` (emit_bin_vals):
fixed `*=`/`/=` use the Q16.16 64-bit paths, string `+=` concatenates,
int→long widens; unary `-` keeps a fixed operand's type (arith_ty)
- one `unescape()` table for "strings", 'chars' and `interpolation`;
`'\''`, `'\\'`, `'\"'` no longer read as 0; unterminated char literals
and unexpected characters are errors instead of silently skipped
- every diagnostic is `file:line: error: msg` (g_parse_file / g_err_file,
Node.file + Node.line set by node()); tok_desc() in expectation errors;
duplicate `function` names and unknown `phase` names are reported in
source terms (phase_id used to default unknown phases to Overlay)
- interpolation holes skip braces inside string literals
- hand-IR preludes move from the user `@fn_` prefix to `@lp_` so a user
`is_ws` / `str_eq` / `path_join` no longer collides at link time
- `@ClearColor(expr)` accepts any constant expression; `Os.pid()` added
(docs page + inventory); `str_starts()` in support/str
- main.ludic: `else if` flag ladder, char literals, stale script comments
- examples/lang/operators.ludic covers all of the above; os.ludic covers
Os.pid; docs pages for Os.pid and the Overlay phase; ten changesets
- reseeded: selfhost/ludicc.seed.ll is the new compiler's own fixpoint

Split the flat 38-file selfhost/ into concern-based subdirectories:
frontend/ lex, parse, parse_game, ast
support/ str, buf, io
backend/ core IR + expression/statement lowering
backend/game/ ECS/scene/event/world lowering
backend/stdlib/ the namespaced Math.*/Text.*/Crypto.*/… intrinsics
and split the three oversized emitters at responsibility boundaries so
no file mixes concerns:
emit_game.ludic -> + emit_world.ludic (reflection world table,
tick helpers, @main synthesis)
emit_expr.ludic -> + emit_call.ludic (namespaced builtins, call
lowering, expr dispatch)
emit_text.ludic -> + emit_text_prelude.ludic (emitted string-builder runtime)
FRAGS in tools/x/selfhost.ludic is updated to the new paths with the link
order preserved, and the Python doc/vocabulary tooling is updated to walk
the new layout. Because the build is a plain in-order concatenation and
every split lands on a blank-line boundary, the regenerated seed is
byte-identical: `x reseed` leaves selfhost/ludicc.seed.ll unchanged,
`x bootstrap-cfree` still reaches its fixed point, and both `x test` (56)
and `x selfhost-test` (29, incl. golden renders) stay green.
Closes#29
