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.

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.

Bindings now signal mutability the way Rust/Swift do, instead of `let` meaning
"local" and `var` meaning "module-level":
- `let x = e` -> immutable binding; a later `x = …` is a compile error
(`cannot assign to immutable 'x' … use var`).
- `var x = e` -> mutable binding, at local OR module scope (position decides
scope; the keyword decides mutability).
- `const` -> unchanged (compile-time).
Immutability is of the *binding*, not the object: `let n = new Node; n.kind = 1`
is fine (mutation through the reference); only rebinding `n` is rejected. The
check lives in emit_assign — a direct `name =` whose target is a `let` local
(loc_mut == 0) errors; field/index targets and `var`/param/loop bindings are
unaffected.
Delivered as three reseeds so the self-hosting compiler never had to compile
source its own rules would reject:
A) add `var` as a local statement + per-local mutability tracking (loc_mut),
no enforcement;
B) migrate every reassigned `let` -> `var` across the compiler, runtime and
examples (337 declarations), driven by a per-function, string/comment-aware
scan (binding targets only, never `x.f =` / `x[i] =`);
C) turn on the check. bootstrap-cfree (compiler vs its own source) and every
golden build (which splices the runtime) then proved zero reassigned `let`
was missed anywhere.
Also folded in: removed leftover debug instrumentation in block() (a `cur=` /
print_int(777…) trace on the separator-error path) and fixed parse.ludic's stale
header comment (no more `struct`). Reseeded (21711 lines); C-free fixpoint holds;
goldens identical; 17/17; vocab + doc-fences clean.

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).
