Three enable/disable statement scopes, each a reversible flag flip:
- `disable P on e` / `enable P on e` — one property on one entity. Clears
the has-flag so queries stop matching; field data persists in storage, so
enable restores it untouched. @OnDisable(P)/@OnEnable(P) handler hooks run
at the toggle point with the property bound by name.
- `disable Model` / `enable Model` — @ME_<Model> global flag; the model's
entities drop out of every query while disabled.
- `disable Handler` / `enable Handler` — @HE_<Handler> global flag; the
handler stops being called each phase while disabled.
Nothing is copied or freed — each toggle is one global store or one has-flag
store. Reduces entirely to existing ECS machinery (has-flags, kind filter,
per-phase call guards), so the data-oriented model is untouched.
New AST node S_TOGGLE; emit_toggle lowers it. Query {Model} filter now ANDs
@ME_; phase calls now guard on @HE_. Parser gains enable/disable statements
and @OnEnable/@OnDisable annotations.
Vocabulary: `on` promoted from RESERVED to CLAUSE (parser now dispatches on
it); enable/disable added as STMT keywords — synced across ludic_syntax.h,
the TextMate grammar, and LudicTokens.kt (check-vocabulary.py clean).
examples/toggle.ludic demonstrates all three scopes (prints 6 0 7 1 0);
test.sh smoke asserts it. Reseeded; C-free fixpoint holds; goldens identical.
Also: stop tracking tools/.idea/ (gitignored).

Adds the rest of the game/entity/property lifecycle as @-hooks, each firing at
one timeline moment and reducing to ordinary code:
- @OnStart / @OnQuit (program): @OnStart aliases the Start phase; @OnQuit runs in
the frame loop's done: block, after the loop stops and before teardown.
- @OnDespawn(Model) (entity): a destructor. Despawn doesn't statically know the
entity's model, so hooks compile to @on_despawn_<Model>(entity) functions and
emit_despawn dispatches on @L_kind. Symmetric with @OnSpawn.
- @OnAttach(Property): fires in emit_init_component once a property is attached
and seeded, with the property bound by name.
Registries + parsing mirror @OnSpawn. examples/lifecycle.ludic narrates the whole
timeline (output 1 700 50 950 2). Behaviour-preserving (goldens byte-identical,
despawn users unaffected when no hooks registered); test.sh 16/16, fixpoint holds.
Deferred: @OnDetach (per-property runtime dispatch) and scene @OnEnter/@OnExit
(need scene support in the compiler).

Adds two annotations that give properties/models a scriptable feel WITHOUT
reattaching behavior to data — both reduce to code the data-oriented model
already emits:
- @Computed field on a property: a derived value that is NOT stored; x.field
expands inline to its expression (bare names read as fields of x) at each use.
Zero storage, zero runtime dispatch. Reuses qualify_fields (now non-destructive,
base-node based); a g_computed registry keeps derived fields out of the layout.
- @OnSpawn(Model) on a handler: a constructor that runs at each spawn of Model
with the model's properties bound by name. Spawn statically knows the model, so
no runtime dispatch; emit_spawn binds the properties and inlines the hook body.
examples/annotations.ludic now exercises @Handles/@Queries/@Computed/@OnSpawn
(output 3 25 0 0); test.sh 15/15, fixpoint holds, goldens byte-identical.
Deferred (need more machinery, by design): @OnDespawn (despawn doesn't statically
know the entity's model) and @OnChange (needs change-tracking).

@Queries(these: [Prop{constraint}, ...], on: Model) on a handler desugars to the
existing S_QUERY loop: each property binds by its own name, a Prop{...} block
qualifies its bare fields to that property, and on: adds a {Model} tag filter.
Implemented via parse_queries_anno + qualify_fields (parse_game.ludic), wired
into parse_one_decl; @Handles parses on the program (documentation).
examples/annotations.ludic demonstrates it (output 3 1 0 0); test.sh 15/15.
Docs: added the Annotations section to LANGUAGE.md and did the vocabulary prose
pass (component->property, archetype->model, system->handler, game->program)
across the docs. check-docs + test-tools green.

enum Name { A, B, C } declares named int constants; Enum.Variant is a
compile-time int (index by declaration order), usable in match patterns,
comparisons, setreg. New: parse_enum + dispatch, enum_ordinal resolver
(emit_core), Enum.Variant handling (emit_expr). Scoped to a naming layer over
int (no enum-typed variables), so register/save semantics are untouched.
combat.ludic battle menus dispatch on KnightAct/MageAct instead of 0..3;
chronorift golden byte-identical. Editor vocab (ludic_syntax.h, JetBrains,
TextMate, emacs) gained enum, dropped retired edge/export/pure decl keywords;
check-vocabulary + test-tools 28/0. when/if kept by choice; bitwise stays
functions. Reseeded, fixpoint holds, test.sh 14/14.

state KnightMenu = 0 { } -> state KnightMenu { }. Machine states now take their
value from declaration order (0,1,2,...); an explicit 'state Name = expr' still
works for the rare non-ordinal case. Removes the magic constants from state
machines (finding #13). Migrated combat.ludic's battle machine; chronorift golden
byte-identical (the ordinals match the old explicit 0-4). Reseeded, fixpoint
holds, test.sh 14/14.

edge/pure/export prefix keywords retired; modifiers are now leading @annotations
(@export, @edge, @pure, @deterministic). parse_one_decl collects a leading @anno
run and @export sets the fn export flag; dead edge-dispatch removed from
parse_system. Migrated examples/lib/combat.ludic; old prefixes now rejected.
Behavior-identical: the export flag is parse-only in the self-hosted emitter
(emits @fn_<name> for every fn, never reads the flag), so IR is byte-identical.
Reseeded, fixpoint holds, test.sh 14/14. Docs updated. Phase 3 complete.

3b: widget props go from key=value to key: value (parse_widget). emit_ui and
ludic-fmt unchanged (AST-identical; ':' formats correctly by default). Chose the
colonized form over parenthesized named-args — minimal churn, no new grammar.
Migration: tools/ludic-tools/migrate_ui.c. menu golden byte-identical.
3c: removed the undocumented, unused 'needs'/'uses' clause synonyms from
parse_system; reads/writes stay.
Reseeded, fixpoint holds, test.sh 14/14, check-docs + check-vocabulary green.

Comp = { f = v } -> Comp { f: v }. record() requires ':' and parse_spawn()
drops the '=' before the record; '=' is now assignment/binding only. Records
appear only in games, so the compiler seed is unaffected.
Migration: tools/ludic-tools/migrate_records.c (spawn-context aware). Verified
every golden byte-identical, old '=' form rejected, reseeded, test.sh 14/14.
Docs updated (LANGUAGE.md, BOOTSTRAP.md R2).

The parser now requires a newline or ';' between statements (block() in
selfhost/parse.ludic); two statements may no longer sit adjacent with only
spaces. Also fixed if-without-else swallowing its trailing separator.
Migration: tools/ludic-tools/migrate_separators.c inserts ';' at statement
boundaries corpus-wide (examples, runtime, 25 self-host fragments, ~1100
boundaries). Verified semantically identical — the migrated compiler compiles
itself to IR byte-identical to the pre-migration seed, and every golden game
renders identically. Reseeded to the strict compiler; C-free fixpoint holds;
test.sh 14/14.
Docs: Rule B documented in LANGUAGE.md; BOOTSTRAP.md R1 + stale fences updated;
check-docs green across all docs. Fixed a multi-line string literal in
emit_expr.ludic (byte-identical \n escape) that the C toolchain lexer mis-lexes.

Self-hosted compiler (selfhost/*.ludic), runtime, examples, editor tooling,
and docs. Phase 1 of the syntax-redesign cohesion pass has landed:
edge-system fix, signature-query, when-alias, and the documentation truth-pass.
Suite green (14/14), C-free bootstrap fixpoint holds.
