 ** DONE Any typed container crosses into dyn as a view
 CLOSED: [2026-09-26]
 A str element reads as a copy and is never written, an aggregate element is written
-through its own view, and an int is refused by a float element. A view of storage its
-own dyn global's initialiser built is refused. Rules out copying at the crossing, and
-any check in a release build.
+through its own view, a float element takes an int only when it holds it exactly (a
+class's float slot's rule), and a u64 above the largest i64 traps when read. A view of
+storage its own dyn global's initialiser built is refused. Rules out copying at the
+crossing, a dyn big int for u64, and any check in a release build.
 
 ** NEXT Dyn unless annotated
 Decided 2026-09-26, replacing the plain rule: number, bool and char literals are typed,
