`struct` and `property` had identical syntax and differed only in semantics, so
they are now one keyword: `property`. How a property is stored follows from how
it is used —
- listed in a `model` or attached by `spawn` -> an ECS component, kept in the
engine's per-entity @S_/@H_ arrays and bound in queries (as before);
- constructed with `new` -> a heap record with reference
semantics (what `struct` used to be).
A program that declares only `property` records and functions — no `model`, no
`handler` — is not an ECS program: it gets record layouts and `new`, but no
entity storage, allocator, snapshot, or runtime splice. This is exactly the
shape of the Ludic compiler itself, whose Node/Tok/Buf/Val are now `property`.
Mechanics:
- record layout (%Cmp_) now always emitted in the header (emit_head), so `new`
works with or without the ECS; the per-entity arrays stay in
emit_ecs_storage. %Str_ is gone — one layout prefix.
- has_ecs() is now `has_systems() or has_models()`, not "any component"; a
property alone no longer drags in the ECS runtime. Added has_models().
- emit_new / member access / layout_ty / layout_node collapse onto find_comp.
Dropped struct keyword, parse_struct, find_struct, is_struct_ty, N_STRUCT
emission (the const stays at kind 0, the default node kind).
Migration done as two reseeds (the old compiler treats any component as ECS, so
it cannot see `property` records in the compiler source until has_ecs is fixed):
A) teach the compiler property-as-record + fix has_ecs, keeping `struct`;
B) migrate the compiler's own records to `property` and remove `struct`.
selfhost/tests/structs.ludic migrated (still prints 7 9 109 2 42). Vocabulary
drops `struct` from DECL (ludic_syntax.h, grammar, LudicTokens.kt). LANGUAGE.md
"Records" section rewritten. Reseeded (21613 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).

enum Name { A, B, C } declares named int constants; Enum.Variant is a
compile-time int (index by declaration order), usable in match patterns,
comparisons, setreg. New: parse_enum + dispatch, enum_ordinal resolver
(emit_core), Enum.Variant handling (emit_expr). Scoped to a naming layer over
int (no enum-typed variables), so register/save semantics are untouched.
combat.ludic battle menus dispatch on KnightAct/MageAct instead of 0..3;
chronorift golden byte-identical. Editor vocab (ludic_syntax.h, JetBrains,
TextMate, emacs) gained enum, dropped retired edge/export/pure decl keywords;
check-vocabulary + test-tools 28/0. when/if kept by choice; bitwise stays
functions. Reseeded, fixpoint holds, test.sh 14/14.

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.
