One `print` instead of two C-style names: `print(x)` writes an int OR a string
followed by a newline, dispatching on the operand type (int -> %d, string ->
%s). `print(int)` emits byte-identically to the old print_int, so every existing
call and every smoke-test output is unchanged.
print_str was only ever the raw IR-to-stdout dump in ir_flush (no newline), which
is not "printing a line" — so it now uses file_write to a new file_stdout()
stream, keeping the emitted IR byte-for-byte identical. That frees `print` to
have consistent always-newline semantics.
Two reseeds: (A) add print + str + file_stdout keeping the intrinsics; (B)
migrate the 61 print_int calls to print, ir_flush to file_write(file_stdout()),
and delete print_int/print_str (+ the now-dead @.fmt_str). str(x) (the
interpolation converter from 7d) is now also a documented standalone builtin.
Vocabulary: print/str/file_stdout in, print_int/print_str out (ludic_syntax.h,
grammar, LudicTokens.kt). LANGUAGE.md updated. Reseeded (22551 lines); C-free
fixpoint holds; goldens identical; 18/18; vocab + doc-fences clean.

Fixed the naming inconsistencies the cohesion audit flagged, converging on the
domain-first style the bulk of the surface already uses (ui_*, text_*, rng_*,
font_load, image_load):
- load_png -> png_load (asset loaders were split: font_load/image_load
- load_sprites -> sprites_load were domain-first, load_* were verb-first)
- setreg -> set_reg (missing underscore vs ui_set_int/ui_set_text)
Game builtins resolve to their `rt_` runtime function, so the renames are in
runtime/native (rt_png_load, rt_sprites_load, rt_set_reg) plus the ~100 example
call sites; `become` lowering in emit_machine now emits @fn_rt_set_reg. Purely a
surface rename — every renamed call maps to the same runtime symbol, so behavior
and golden renders are byte-identical.
Vocabulary + docs updated (ludic_syntax.h, grammar, LudicTokens.kt, LANGUAGE.md,
README, SYNTAX-REDESIGN). Reseeded; C-free fixpoint holds; goldens identical;
17/17; vocab clean.
Left as-is: os_argc/os_arg (compiler-internal intrinsics, already namespaced and
consistent with each other; renaming would need a bootstrap dance for little
gain). reg/set_reg keep the getter-bare/setter-set_ shape ui_focused/ui_set_int
already use.

Cohesion audit found two keywords that are pure duplicates:
- `when c { }` produced a byte-identical S_IF to an else-less `if c { }`
(no distinguishing flag) — so it was a second spelling of the same node.
- `enter Name` produced identical codegen to `become Name`: it set an
`ival` flag that emit_become never reads.
Both removed from the parser. `if` already parses with an optional `else`, so
nothing is lost. examples/scenes.ludic (an uncompiled design sketch) and the
LANGUAGE.md scenes section now use `become Name` for scene transitions.
Vocabulary synced (ludic_syntax.h, TextMate grammar, LudicTokens.kt);
check-vocabulary clean. Reseeded (22148 lines); C-free fixpoint holds;
goldens identical; 17/17.

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.
