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.

An opinionated, game-facing surface for the language:
- Color.<Name>: 221 named colors resolved to 0xRRGGBB at compile time
(selfhost/emit_color.ludic).
- Namespaced builtins Screen.* / Input.key / Random.* / Map.*, so calls read as
subject.action; present() -> Screen.show(), clear -> Screen.clear,
fill_rect -> Screen.fill_rectangle, etc.
- Named arguments, e.g. Screen.fill_rectangle(x:, y:, width:, height:, color:),
reordered to the callee's parameters at emit time.
- machine/become can run over a named program-scope var, not just a register.
- Migrate examples off numeric registers to named vars; snake/menu/chronorift
render byte-identical to the goldens and the bootstrap fixpoint is preserved.
- Regenerate the checked-in seed (selfhost/ludicc.seed.ll).

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.
