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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

id: annot-sync name: @Sync category: annotations kind: annotation tokens: @Sync sig: @Sync property … / @Owned tip: Mark fields as replicated and models as owned so the compiler generates networking. order: 4
These are the two declarative switches at the top of Ludic's networking: @Sync says what replicates and @Owned says who owns an instance. Replication is opt-in at the field level and decided per model use-site — a field crosses the wire only when it is both replicable (marked @Sync, either on the field or via @Sync property P which marks every field of P) and participating (the model marks the component @Sync). So the same property can replicate in one model and not another, and there is no @NoSync because the surface is purely additive. From these marks the compiler generates the per-model serialize/apply codecs; @Sync on a non-POD-scalar field (like a pointer) is a compile error, since a machine-local pointer cannot cross the wire. @Owned adds the owner slot the ownership builtins and @Predicted read. See the dedicated @Owned page for ownership details.
program SyncedWorld {
@Sync property Position { column: int = 0, row: int = 0 } # every field replicable

@Owned model Player { @Sync Position, @Sync Health } # participates -> column,row,current
model Scenery { Position } # not @Sync here -> never replicates

spawn Player { Position { column: 3, row: 4 }, Health { current: 50, maximum: 100 } }
