A def from another module into a registry that is not open is refused,
and defs go through visibility (the registry exported, its module in the
definer's uses). Index order: the declaring module's entries, then the
other modules' by module name, each in reading order. A registry entry
is emitted as its own file's code, so what it names is seen from its
own module. Reseed.

A `view Name { field = x; function q(..); on e(..) }` declaration is the one bridge between a
program and its UI: it writes view_<name>() -> UiView, whose model is a Value of every field and
whose call runs a query or an event by name.
ludic.ui is a template runtime:
- HTML-shaped XML screens and components, loaded at run time;
- {expression} bindings, if/else/each, props, slots, per-instance state;
- on-press / onclick actions (event, set, emit);
- component libraries (export="true", <import src as>).
Styling:
- stylesheets in <style> or importable .lss files (@import);
- CSS selectors (#id, .class, [attr=v], descendant and > combinators, :hover, :disabled,
:first-child, :last-child, :nth-child, :not) weighed by specificity;
- the box model and flex under CSS's property names.
Also:
- default parameters, and positional-then-named calls;
- Value gains a float kind;
- a function shadowing a runtime one is refused;
- an index is evaluated before the slice is read;
- runtime errors name the right file.

The typed buffers are slices: words/floats/fixeds/doubles/pointers(n) make
zeroed, bounds-checked []int/[]float/... and the type names mean them. buffer(n)
is a []byte, with text_of, Fs.read_bytes/write_bytes and view(xs, start, n).
bytes(), indexing a raw pointer or bytes, free, resize, Memory.*, raw file calls,
data_of and C externs are refused outside unsafe { } / unsafe function, and a
project's own files may write unsafe only with --unsafe; the runtime and packages
are the platform. A slice passed to an extern goes as its data.
What the change found: Sync's atomics on a slice header, words(n) uninitialised,
input's fixed axes in ints, truetype's fixed outlines as ints, skin matrices
typed int, gl_shader's source table made from raw bytes. render3d gets safe
entry points (safe_api.ludic). Rendering is byte-identical; a frame costs the same.

A barrel's 'module NAME' makes its directory a module; a declaration other modules
use says 'export'. Private use from another module is an error naming the module
and where to mark it; 'friend module' sees everything (a test harness); a file in
no module is public and a package keeps its own module. LUDIC_VIS_REPORT=1 lists
every violation instead of stopping, so a codebase can be given its exports first.

`float` (32-bit) and `double` (64-bit) with + - * / %, comparisons and unary minus.
Decimal literals take their type from context and stay `fixed` elsewhere; int and long
promote implicitly (LUDIC_WARN_FLOAT_PROMOTE=1 lists every promotion). float(), double(),
int(), long() and fixed() convert; floats(n)/doubles(n) buffers; float fields, globals,
constants and parameters; Math.* computes in float for float arguments; string/print
write the shortest round-tripping decimal; float_bits/float_from_bits expose the bits.
@deterministic code may not use floats. The f_* runtime helpers stay as they are.
Editors know the new type words; the JetBrains plugin is 1.5.0.

- `[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

`new` accepted only a bare `new T` (every field its declared default) or
`new []T`, but the docs (kw-new) document `new Record { field: value, … }`
as the way to construct a record with non-default fields — a documented,
intended form the parser never accepted (`let o = new Point { x: 3 }` failed
with "expected newline or ';'").
Parse an optional `{ … }` override record after the type in a `new`
expression (reusing the existing `record()` parser that `spawn` uses), and
seed each field in emit_new_struct from that record when present, else from
the field's declared default. `new []T` and bare `new T` are unchanged.
Also mark the illustrative kw-import fence `# doc-check: skip` (its imports
are example paths that can't resolve in isolation), which makes `x check-docs`
fully green (398 fences, 0 drifted) — so it is now wired as a gate in
`x test-tools` and CI, guarding against future doc/compiler drift.
Reseed is a clean fixpoint (x bootstrap-cfree holds); x test (56),
x selfhost-test (29, golden renders unchanged) and x test-tools (30) green.

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
