@@ -4495,3 +4495,41 @@ two walks — the Ast rename and the Form-level one at load.ml:503 — learn to
 walk more than one bound. The Form walk matched Vec [n; count] exactly, so
 it had to grow; before this, a three-bound dotimes was a parse error long
 before that walk could see it, so nothing was ever miscompiled by it.
+
+* The heavy sweep, 2026-09-21 — and the leak question bytes-copy cannot answer
+@x86, @sanitize and @valgrind, batched over the four lanes since the last
+sweep, all three green at the end. What they found, and what they could not:
+
+One x86 failure, two rows of it: bytes-view-write and dev-segv, both from the
+bytes/bytes-view lane. Not a miscompile — both store through a bytes-view of a
+string literal, which is .rodata, and the survey compares at its own -O2 where
+LLVM deletes the undefined store and exits 0 while the hand-written backend
+executes it and takes 139. At -O0 the two agree exactly, and test_acceptance's
+dies_segv rows already pin that on both backends. Excluded by name in
+survey.sh, with the reason.
+
+One real bug, pre-existing and found by hand rather than by an alias:
+--dev --sanitize did not compile at all. See the commit; the short of it is
+that clang 20's ASan module pass segfaults on an llvm.global_ctors naming a
+declaration, so the weak __asan_init yield that keeps the dev build's SIGSEGV
+handler out of ASan's way had never once run.
+
+** What neither corpus can answer about the new (bytes s)
+bytes-copy.flan is in both sweeps now, and it is worth writing down what that
+does not buy. Its first two cases leak 24 bytes through flan_bytes_dup —
+measured, with valgrind --leak-check=full — and both sweeps miss it on
+purpose: @sanitize runs with detect_leaks=0 and @valgrind with
+--leak-check=no, each for the reason its own file gives, which is that
+allocate-once-never-free is this runtime's design and a leak check produces a
+suppression list rather than information.
+
+So the row proves the copy is in bounds and its bytes are written. It does not
+prove anything about who frees it, and nobody should read a green sweep as
+saying the new allocating bytes has an owner. The leak question is worth
+asking on purpose one day, across the whole corpus and not one program, and
+that is a session of its own.
+
+** Certified against 190fdad
+The four-green result is measured against that base. dev-loop has moved since
+— runtime/flan_rt.c, vendor/agent/flan_agent.c and lib/dev.ml among others —
+and those belong to the next batch, not to this one.
