Three defects, all from lifting every def initialiser, none of which the
suite caught:
A def typed fresh into a live session came up zero and stayed zero. The
image flan_dev_global copies on the allocation is the only value a new
global ever gets — the host's .init-globals never calls its initialiser —
and both backends chose that image with Tast.const_init, which a def's
lifted Call fails by construction. Emit.initial_image reads the constant
back out of the lifted body; the x86 twin had the same bug.
Changing a global between def and defonce was silently ineffective: the
guard lives in the startup function compiled into the host, which a reload
cannot republish. Session.compatible refuses both directions and says to
restart; editing the value stays allowed.
And global/<n> no longer leaks into the signature refusal when a def is
retyped — the global loop names the same fact in words a reader can act on.
flan check prints def, defonce or defconst off grerun; (defvar) with no
arguments names the shapes rather than offering (defonce ); the docs,
plan.org, runtime comments and valgrind.supp are swept; BUILT.md states
the release-build cost and the uninit caveat.
Arguments print in order with a single space between each pair, println
ending the line; (println) is the newline alone and (print) is nothing.
The checker's arm renders each argument exactly as it did alone, so typed
and dyn values mix in one call, one-argument sites are byte-identical, and
an unprintable argument is still refused at its own span.
