Joseph Ferano a4c6b996ff def re-runs its initialiser, and defvar is renamed defonce
The trio the author decided on 2026-09-20 is now all built: def is CL's
defparameter — its initialiser runs on every daemon re-run, unguarded, so
an edited initialiser repaints the same storage on C-c C-c plus re-run —
defonce (Clojure's name for CL's defvar, per the author) initialises once
behind the .init~once. flag, and defconst stays the image.

One parse arm reads both forms; the difference is Ast.reinit, carried to
Tast.global's grerun. Emit.startup_plan gives a def no guard flag, and
Check.check_global lifts every def initialiser — zero and literal
included — into global/<n>, so the host's startup reaches it through the
function cell and a re-evaluated def swaps it (Session's def_inits;
Emit.redefinition declares the cell for a non-sibling target). The old
defvar spelling is refused with the rename and both compiling spellings,
and every program, test, doc and editor list is swept — except sand.flan,
the author's live WIP, whose seven defvar lines are flagged in FIX.org
and keep its three dependent tests red on this branch.

;;;; The second transfer, which the checker can only half refuse.
;;;;
;;;; spec-conditions.md §5 says a defer is the cleanup a transfer runs on its
;;;; way out. Starting a *second* transfer from inside one would leave this
;;;; frame's defers half run with two targets and no way to choose, so both
;;;; backends emit a branch into `flan_transfer_fail` for it and the runtime
;;;; dies there with the frame's location.
;;;;
;;;; `check.ml`'s `Ast.InvokeRestart` arm refuses the *lexical* case -- an
;;;; `invoke-restart` written inside the `defer` form itself -- with the same
;;;; reasoning. What it cannot see is a defer that *calls* a function that
;;;; invokes a restart, because the callee is ordinary code and knows nothing
;;;; about who called it. That is the case below, and it is the only way to
;;;; reach the branch.
;;;;
;;;; The order matters and is what makes this a real second transfer rather
;;;; than a first one: `outer` establishes both restart-cases, calls `middle`,
;;;; `deep` signals, `outer`'s handler aims at `esc-one`, and the transfer
;;;; unwinds `deep` and then `middle`. `middle`'s transfer exit clears the
;;;; channel and runs its defers -- and the defer calls `second`, which aims a
;;;; transfer at `esc-two`. Both restart frames are still pushed: `outer`'s
;;;; pad is what pops them, and `outer` has not been reached yet.
;;;;
;;;; Exits 134 with the message on stderr, both ways.
