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.

;;;; A dyn global, which is the case that needs the startup function.
;;;;
;;;; A dyn value is made by a call into the runtime, and a call is not a
;;;; constant, so the initialiser cannot be a constant image the way a typed
;;;; global's is. It runs in flan..init-globals, which main calls after
;;;; flan_gc_init and before anything the programmer wrote — the same machinery
;;;; the computed globals already use, which is the point: a dyn global is a
;;;; computed global and needed no new mechanism.
