;;;; What a re-run does to a global, which is decided by the form that
;;;; defined it and not by the daemon.
;;;;
;;;; A [defvar] is Common Lisp's [defvar]: its initialiser runs only if the
;;;; variable is not already initialised, so its value survives a re-run. A
;;;; plain zeroed one always did — .bss is untouched by a second entry into
;;;; main — and a computed one did not, because the startup function [main]
;;;; calls ran again from the top and stored the initial value back over
;;;; whatever the last run had left. A [defconst] whose initialiser is a
;;;; compile-time constant is written into the image and no startup code
;;;; reaches it at all, so the question does not arise for it. Since
;;;; 2026-09-20 there is no other kind: a defconst's initialiser has to be a
;;;; compile-time constant, refused in the checker so that both backends
;;;; refuse the same program. Before that the LLVM backend refused a computed
;;;; one while x86 guarded it at startup like a defvar.
;;;;
;;;; So each line printed below is a claim about one of those cases, and the
;;;; run number is the first of them: [runs] is computed, so before the fix it
;;;; counted 1, 1, 1.

;; A computed dyn global: the map is built by a function, rooted before the
;; startup function runs, and mutated by every run. Its contents have to
;; survive a re-run for the same reason [counter]'s value does, and its root
;; has to survive collection either way.

;; The same thing written the short way: the third element is not a type, so
;; this is a dyn global initialised at startup — the same declaration [state]
;; is, down to the guard flag, because the rule lowers to that form and not to
;; a second one. Its value has to survive a re-run for exactly [counter]'s
;; reason, and if the new spelling had grown a startup path of its own this is
;; the line that would count 1, 1, 1, 1.

;; The guard flags the fix adds are the compiler's own globals, and they used
;; to be spelled [.init-once.<name>] — a name a program can write, since [.]
;; is an ordinary symbol constituent. This one is exactly the old spelling of
;; [counter]'s flag. It compiles only because the flag is mangled with a [~]
;; now; before that the dev build died at the assembler with the symbol
;; defined twice, and the flag's Bool retyped this i64 on the way. It stays
;; unprinted on purpose — the expected output is what it was.
