`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.

Replace the Python doc/lint/vocabulary guards with Ludic equivalents that
run through the `x` task runner, so the checks need no Python interpreter:
x check-docs every ```ludic doc fence parses (or is marked)
x check-impl every implemented feature has a docs/language page
x check-vocabulary vocabulary in sync across grammar / lexer / header / parser
x lint-asset <file> validate one editor .json / .xml asset
New fragments: tools/x/json.ludic (a small JSON reader — objects/arrays/
strings with \uXXXX + surrogates/numbers/literals, used by the vocabulary
check's grammar navigation and the asset validator) and tools/x/checks.ludic
(the checks + string helpers + a minimal XML well-formedness validator).
`x test-tools` now runs the vocabulary + docs-coverage checks and the
JSON/XML asset validation through Ludic instead of python3; ci.yml's
docs-coverage step calls `x check-impl` / `x check-vocabulary`. Each port was
verified against its former Python script for exact verdict parity on the
clean tree and on injected drift (a removed keyword, a broken grammar
alternation, an undocumented method).
Deletes the superseded scripts: tools/check-vocabulary.py, tools/check-docs.py,
tools/docgen/check-impl.py, tools/docgen/validate.py. The docgen site
generator (gen.py/check.py/palette.py) and the LSP protocol driver
(test-lsp.py) remain and are tracked separately.
Toolchain unchanged (seed byte-identical); `x test` (56) and `x test-tools`
(29) stay green.
Part of #31

Until now the only workflow was docs.yml — nothing gated a change on the
compiler even building, on `x test` / `x test-tools`, or on the headline C-free
self-rebuild reproducing the seed. Add two Forgejo Actions workflows on the same
`docker` runner the docs job uses.
The toolchain is macOS-first: the self-hosted compiler emits the Darwin libc
standard-stream globals (`__stdoutp`/`__stderrp`), the one thing that stops its
IR from linking on Linux. Everything else is portable — clang-16 assembles the
seed cleanly and the C-free bootstrap reproduces it byte-for-byte on Linux too.
So rather than require a macOS runner (none is registered), bridge that single
gap with a tiny **C-free LLVM-IR shim** (tools/ci/linux_stdio_shim.ll) that
defines the Darwin-named globals over glibc's stdout/stderr, injected into every
clang link via LUDIC_CC. The language keeps its no-C-compiler guarantee.
Workflows:
- ci.yml — bootstrap the toolchain from the seed, then `x test` + `x test-tools`
+ the docs-cover-the-implementation checks, on push to main and PRs.
- bootstrap.yml — `x bootstrap-cfree`: assert the seed rebuilds itself
byte-for-byte (returns non-zero on drift).
Make the suites host-aware so a Linux run is green without hiding anything: a
new is_darwin()/skip() pair (tools/x/prelude.ludic) makes the cases that are
genuinely macOS-ABI bound — the Cocoa-windowed `ludicc -o` link, the golden
render hashes (blessed on macOS; text raster differs by a hair elsewhere), the
Os known-folder/uname surface, Fs.list and the LSP workspace walk (both read the
BSD dirent layout) — print a visible `skip` off Darwin instead of failing. On
macOS every one of them still runs: suites stay 56 / 29 / 29 green there, and
run 51 / 28 (+skips) on Linux, bootstrap-cfree byte-identical on both.
The formatting gate is ludic-fmt *idempotence* (already in `x test-tools`), not
`fmt(x) == x`: this codebase deliberately preserves hand alignment, so a strict
"already formatted" check would fight that contract.
A prebuilt CI image with clang-16 + python3 baked in is the obvious follow-up
speed-up (ties into the packaging work in #33).
Closes#32

Repository-cleanup / DX pass folding three tracker items into one coherent
change, verified green end to end (`bin/x test` 49/0, `bin/x selfhost-test`
29/0, `bin/x test-tools` 29/0).
#28 — curate & categorise examples/
- 42 flat entries regrouped into intent-revealing subdirs: games/, rendering/,
ecs/, events/, networking/, lang/, library/ (was lib/).
- chronorift dir-vs-file duplication resolved: the entry file and its import
modules now live together under games/chronorift(.ludic).
- Every path reference updated repo-wide (test runner, editor-tool drivers,
docs/site, design docs).
- New examples/README.md indexes the whole set with run commands.
- Showcase examples without a self-asserting entry (hello, events, net_rt) now
get a compile-only rot guard in `bin/x test`, so nothing here rots silently.
#30 — text-diffable golden baseline
- The 4 binary selfhost/golden/*.ppm blobs are replaced by a single
selfhost/golden/renders.sha256 manifest (SHA-256 per render). Hashes are
byte-identical to the old PPMs, so the baseline is unchanged — only its form.
- game_case now compares framebuffer hashes; a regression shows as a changed
hex line in review, not "binary files differ".
- New `bin/x golden` regenerates the manifest deliberately (review with
`git diff selfhost/golden/renders.sha256`).
#27 — PPM & asset handling
- Headless renders now write build/out.ppm, never the repo root; `x app`,
`x clean`, messaging and .gitignore updated to match. Nothing is written to
the working root any more.
- Redundant local Kenney .zip archives removed (the art ships extracted;
.gitignore already excludes *.zip). CC0 License.txt files retained.

Expand the abbreviated pointer types to full words on the language surface:
ptr -> pointer (a raw address / FFI handle)
ptrs -> pointers (a buffer of pointers)
The Ludic type name is distinct from LLVM's own `ptr` spelling: llty() maps
`pointer`/`pointers` to LLVM `ptr`, and the emitted IR keeps `ptr`, so only
the Ludic-level surface changes. Rewrites type annotations across all
sources, the 8 hardcoded pointer type-tags, the `pointers`-buffer indexing
in emit_addr, the grammars/LSP/JetBrains tokens, and the docs
(type-ptr -> type-pointer, type-ptrs -> type-pointers). int/bool keep their
conventional short spelling (like Math).
Reseeded; C-free fixpoint holds; all suites green (45/24/29); site + check.py OK.

Expand the abbreviated string type and its conversion builtin to the full
word everywhere:
str -> string (the immutable-string type)
str(x) -> str -> string(x) -> string (the stringify builtin;
what `{…}` interpolation calls)
Types are recognized by identifier, and llty maps both spellings to LLVM
`ptr`, so this is an atomic source rewrite: type annotations, the Ludic
type tags, the builtin name/dispatch, and the interpolation desugar, plus
the grammars, LSP, docs (type-str -> type-string, fn-str -> fn-string), and
inventory. int/bool stay (universally accepted, like Math).
Reseeded; C-free fixpoint holds; all suites green (45/24/29); site + check.py OK.

Expand the function-declaration keyword to the full word across the whole
language and toolchain:
fn name(...) -> T { ... } -> function name(...) -> T { ... }
Done as a self-hosting migration: teach the parser both spellings, reseed,
rewrite every .ludic definition to `function`, then drop `fn`. The compiler
now rejects `fn`. Touches the parser, all selfhost/tools/runtime/example/test
sources, the grammars (TextMate shared+vscode, ludic_syntax.h, JetBrains
LudicTokens.kt), the LSP and formatter, the Python doc/vocab tools
(check-impl, check-docs, validate, palette, test-lsp), and the docs
(fences, prose, kw-fn -> kw-function).
Reseeded; C-free bootstrap fixpoint holds. All suites green (45 regression,
24 self-host, 29 tool); the docs site generates and check.py passes.

Implement the bulk of the namespaced-stdlib proposal (workshopsoft/ludic#2):
156 namespace methods across Math, Text, List, Ease, Collide, World, Net,
Sys, Save, Mem, extended Screen, Color functions, extended Random, and Time.
All deterministic fixed-point; self-hosting (C-free bootstrap fixpoint holds).
Compiler (selfhost/):
- Math.*: sqrt/sin/cos/tan/atan2/asin/acos (fixed-point runtime prelude —
bit-by-bit isqrt, 256-entry interpolated sine table, Ross atan2), plus
hypot/dist/dist2/deg_to_rad/rad_to_deg/posmod/wrap/ping_pong/snapped/
move_toward/smoothstep/lerp/remap/sign/floor/ceil/round.
- Text.* (complete): upper/lower/trim/repeat/pad, split/join/replace,
and the libc-backed queries.
- List.* (complete): insert/remove_at/remove/sort plus the earlier ops.
- Ease.* (in/out/in_out/back/bounce) and Collide.* (rects/point_rect/
circles/rect_circle).
- Phase 3: World/Net/Sys/Save namespaced over the bare builtins (byte-
identical IR) and Mem.* (bytes/words/copy/fill/peek/poke).
- Screen.* extended (line/circle/fill_circle/triangle/fill_triangle via new
runtime primitives; sprite/sprite_scaled aliases), Color.* functions,
Random.* (value/int/sign), Time.* (frame/delta/elapsed/now — new
game-loop frame counter).
- Fix a lexer bug: fixed-point literals with >4 fractional digits overflowed.
Docs & tooling:
- 129 new per-symbol doc pages; gen.py made data-driven (namespaces
discovered from the docs, no hardcoded list); new check-impl.py enforces
that every implemented namespace method / keyword / type / phase has a
doc page, wired into `x test-tools`. Document the previously-undocumented
keywords (break/continue/where/entry/new/public + and/or/not tokens).
- LSP: namespaced signature help (ns_method_sig) covering every namespace.
Tests: 12 new self-host/regression tests + a golden render for the drawing
primitives. All suites green (selfhost 21, regression 45, tools 29).
