+   in check.ml (check_truthy). Two things fell out of it that nobody had
+   decided going in, one fixed on review and one left as the author's
+   call:
+
+   - or's answer used to stay a strict bool where and's already carried a
+     non-bool dyn value through, Clojure-style — and's short-circuit
+     sentinel sits in the else arm, so the real value's type wins there,
+     but or's sat in the then arm, the one check_if types first, so it
+     decided the whole expression's type and a later non-bool dyn answer
+     hit the strict bool boundary and trapped. (or nil "x"), the
+     canonical (or x default) idiom, crashed rather than answering "x".
+     FIXED, ad0f1fb: or now binds its test to a temp and answers the
+     temp, Clojure's own expansion, evaluating the test once and handing
+     back whichever operand actually decided it.
+   - A bare keyword condition used to be checked with want:Bool from the
+     start and refused by the keyword arm's enum-or-refuse case: ":kw is
+     an enum member where an enum is expected and a dyn keyword
+     elsewhere, but bool is expected here", there being no enum in play.
+     Checked with no expectation first, as every scrutinee now is, it
+     resolves as the dyn keyword instead, and a dyn keyword is
+     unconditionally truthy — a typed if with a bare keyword condition
+     now compiles and always takes the then branch. The author's call:
+     lispy truthiness wins here, the lost diagnostic is not brought back.
+     Pinned in test_flan.ml so it does not regress by accident.
+
+   Also noted at check_truthy (check.ml) and not acted on: check_truthy's
+   own retry-on-failure, needed to keep a refused literal's or None's
+   message unchanged, re-runs the whole failing subtree rather than only
+   the leaf that needs it, which is exponential in how deep a chain of
+   nested not gets on a program that does not type-check. Moot for
+   anything that compiles; visible only around twenty levels deep, and
+   only the dev daemon's half-typed-form recompiles could ever feel it.
+   A cheaper retry was tried and shelved — it would need to thread want
+   exactly as far as the full retry already does, or it changes which
+   literal further inside a compound condition gets the nicer message,
+   not just the speed.
 8. Return slot stays mandatory (dyn or ()) — the parse ambiguity it closes
    is real; revisit only if it grates. SETTLED 2026-09-19, reconfirmed with
    the author: both spellings stay legal, () is not collapsing into dyn.
