…d filled from borrowed storage (Closes #11182) Three gen-rust defects from the RFC experiment of #11177 (D1-D3), each reproduced on a t27c built from master cf2d61e (0.5.2) before any change: D1. A struct field called `len` anywhere in the module switched the `x.len` -> `x.len()` rewrite off for EVERY base (a whole-file name census), so a slice, array, string or Vec length reached rustc as a field: E0615 / E0616, and the free `len(x)` call as E0425. D2. A `[]T` struct field is written `Vec<T>` and a `[]T` parameter stored in it is taken by value, which moves the caller's storage (specs/tri/collections/stack.t27: `items: Vec<i64>`, `empty(storage: Vec<i64>)`); `&x` stored in one does not type-check at all. D3. The element of a `[N]str` constant, array field or a call returning str is an `&str`; `rust_type_of` knew only plain names, so it was not turned into bytes where `[]const u8` is expected (E0308) or indexed (E0277). Fix, all in bootstrap/src/compiler.rs, hand Rust net -10 (+40/-50), FROZEN_HASH moved: - rust_type_of now answers for a name, a call, a typed struct field and an element of a typed array; len_is_method uses it, so with a `len` field in the file `x.len` is a method only where x is a slice/array/string/Vec and stays a field for a struct or an unknown base. The free `len(x)` no longer depends on the census. - compile_rust refuses `S{ .f = p }` / `s.f = p` where f is a `[]T` field and p a `[]T` parameter or `&x`, with the field named: a borrow needs a lifetime on the struct and on every constructor, which this back end does not write, so it is refused, not guessed. `[]const u8` (text), `[T]`, arrays and a field nothing fills from borrowed storage are not refused. Test, red first: specs/compiler/rust_slice_lowering.t27 (a `len` field beside every shape; its Zig/t27b tests pass, 13 runtime asserts) is compiled with rustc by backend_behaviour.rs, with fixtures bootstrap/tests/fixtures/rust_slice_fields (4 refuse_*, 4 keep_*). On master the test fails with 11 rustc errors; with the fix it passes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… the 66 it now refuses (Closes #11182) The emitter change of the previous commit moves gen-rust output, so the seals follow, as tools/check_seal_coverage.py (gen-drift, 208 seal files) and tools/check_seal_currency.py (76 stale gen_hash_rust) demanded when run with this branch's t27c. - 48 specs whose Rust changed only by `.len` -> `.len()`, `.as_bytes()` added and `as usize` bridge casts (every changed hunk of all 85 changed outputs, 49 of them with a seal, reduces to those three; 0 other): re-saved with `t27c seal --save`, twins in sync (`tri seals sync-twins` writes 0 files). - 72 specs gen-rust now refuses: re-saved with `--force`, which records gen_hash_rust=none and leaves the other hashes and the test results as they were, the state 8 other seals already hold. - specs/ml/train_hslm.t27 (Rust changed by one `.as_bytes()`): `seal --save` refuses on this Mac because its test the_profile_moves_no_bit_and_sees_the_call_order fails (36 of 37) with master's own binary too, while the Zig output hash is byte-identical to the one sealed with 37 of 37 on 2026-10-19. Only gen_hash_rust of ml_train_hslm.json is edited, by hand; the recorded test result is untouched. - specs/compiler/rust_slice_lowering.t27 is sealed (new). - docs/reports/suite_expectations.json: 66 gen-rust rows (reason, #11182, expiry 2026-11-30), max_entries 69 -> 135, the reason in _why_entries_rose. The 73 refused specs are 66 here, 3 already ledgered under parse-no-discard, 4 outside specs/. All 73 failed rustc on master. Locally with this branch's t27c: check_seal_coverage OK (2939 seals, 2826 hold, 113 known-broken), check_seal_currency 0 stale, `t27c suite --ratchet --corpus-only` RATCHET: CLEAN (ledger 135 of 135, 0 unexpected).

…s to #11218 (Closes #11182) Split on the coordinator's request: this branch is now the slice-length and string-element fixes only. D2 (a []T struct field filled from borrowed storage: the refusal, its fixtures, the 66 suite_expectations.json rows and the --force seals) moves to a separate draft pull request for #11218, because a +66 ledger rise is a policy decision. - compiler.rs: the D2 refusal is gone; return_unsized is back (it was inlined only to pay budget). rust_type_of and len_is_method (D1, D3) are unchanged except for one guard found by re-measuring: a RANGE slice of a str FIELD (`&ac.source[a..b]`) stays a &str; only an integer index of a field, element or call result, and any index of a plain name (as before), becomes bytes. specs/tri/search/aho_corasick.t27 returned `&[u8]` from a `-> str` function otherwise. - backend_behaviour.rs: the test keeps only the spec built and run with rustc (`slice_len`, `array_len`, `name_bytes`, `name_first_byte` computed by the generated Rust). - bootstrap/tests/fixtures/rust_slice_fields, docs/reports/suite_expectations.json and the seals of the 72 refused specs are back to master's.

…d string-element fixes move, and seal the new spec (Closes #11182) With this branch's t27c, tools/check_seal_currency.py listed 58 specs with a stale gen_hash_rust (master: 0). Every changed hunk of the 96 changed outputs reduces to `.len` -> `.len()`, `.as_bytes()` added and `as usize` bridge casts (plus the free `len(x)` call in the new spec). Re-saved with `t27c seal --save`; `tri seals sync-twins` writes 0 files. specs/ml/train_hslm.t27 (Rust changed by one `.as_bytes()`): `seal --save` refuses on this Mac because its test the_profile_moves_no_bit_and_sees_the_call_order fails (36 of 37) with master's own binary too, while its Zig output hash is byte-identical to the one sealed with 37 of 37 on 2026-10-19. Only gen_hash_rust of .trinity/seals/ml_train_hslm.json is edited, by hand; the recorded test result is untouched. Locally: check_seal_coverage OK (2941 seals, 2828 hold, 113 known-broken), check_seal_currency 0 stale (2839 current, 8 sealed with gen_hash=none, as on master).

…rmance.t27, not a new spec (Closes #11182) That file's header says to add the next case there and not to open a spec per bug (#8963), and `tri pr preflight` fails an added spec without a docs/reports/t27b_expectations.json row, which this change must not edit. The module now declares a struct with a field `len` (LenCell) and holds the shapes that broke: a slice, written slice, array and free `len(x)` length, a `len` field read next to a slice length, a text field's length and bytes, and the elements of its existing `[3][]const u8` table passed on and indexed as bytes. - specs/compiler/rust_slice_lowering.t27 and its seal are removed again. - Zig (`t27c test-report`): 18 of 18, 12 new runtime asserts, 0 vacuous. t27b: 18 passed. gen-rust output builds with rustc; the same spec built from master's t27c gives 13 rustc errors (8 E0615, E0425, 2 E0308, E0277, one more). - backend_behaviour.rs: the existing the_codegen_conformance_spec_compiles_and_runs_as_rust prints four more values (slice_len, array_len, name_bytes, name_first_byte computed by the generated Rust); +3/-3 lines, no new test. - compiler_CodegenConformance.json re-saved; sync-twins writes 0 files.

…ead of writing a Vec that moves it (Refs #11218, D2 of #11182) D2 of #11182, kept out of the slice-length fix (#11213) because it needs a ledger decision. gen-rust writes a `[]T` struct field `Vec<T>` and takes the `[]T` parameter that fills it by value, so the caller's storage is moved; `&x` stored in such a field does not type-check. A borrow needs a lifetime on the struct and on every constructor, which this back end does not write, so compile_rust refuses `S{ .f = p }` and `s.f = p` (f a `[]T` field, not `[]const u8`; p a `[]T` parameter or `&x`) and names the field. compiler.rs +40/-50 (return_unsized inlined again to pay the budget), FROZEN_HASH moved, one test in backend_behaviour.rs over 8 fixtures (4 refuse_*, 4 keep_* controls). Draft: 73 tracked specs hold this form, and the commit after this one adds 66 suite_expectations.json rows (cap 69 to 135). Not for merging before the owner decides that.

…t now refuses (Refs #11218, D2 of #11182) docs/reports/suite_expectations.json: 66 `gen-rust` rows (reason, #11182, expiry 2026-11-30), max_entries 69 to 135, reason in _why_entries_rose. The 73 refused specs are these 66, 3 that already carry a parse-no-discard row, and 4 outside specs/ that the suite does not walk. Re-measured with a valid crate name: rustc rejects the master output of all 73. Seals: 72 re-saved with `t27c seal --save --force`, which records gen_hash_rust=none and leaves the other hashes and the test results as they were (check_seal_coverage: 132 seal files gen-drift before, OK now with 2941 seals, 2828 hold; check_seal_currency 0 stale, 140 sealed with gen_hash=none, was 8).

#11218) Seal files that both sides touched (the specs gen-rust now refuses) keep this branch's side, gen_hash_rust=none; FROZEN_HASH is recomputed for this branch's compiler.rs. Not re-verified after the merge: no heavy job was run on it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Refs #11218
DRAFT, and it stays a draft until the owner decides this: 66 new rows in
docs/reports/suite_expectations.json(max_entries69 to 135) so thatt27c gen-rustcan refuse 73 specs. The owner's rule is that ledgers move down. Nothing here fixes a bug that compiled before: all 73 refused specs are rejected by rustc on master (re-measured with a valid crate name: 0 of 73 compile; E0308 in 61, E0425 in 26, E0277 in 17, ...). What the refusal buys is that the Rust no longer silently moves the caller's storage, and that the reason is named.This is D2 of #11182 (the pull request that fixed D1 and D3 is #11213, merged). Issue: #11218.
What it does
t27c gen-rustwrites a[]Tstruct fieldVec<T>and takes the[]Tparameter that fills it by value:specs/tri/collections/stack.t27becomesitems: Vec<i64>,empty(storage: Vec<i64>), which moves the caller's storage (andS{ .items = &local }does not type-check).compile_rustnow refuses, naming the field,S{ .f = p }ands.f = pwherefis a[]Tfield (not[]const u8) andpis a[]Tparameter or&x:`Pile.items` is a `[]T` field filled from borrowed storage: gen-rust writes it `Vec<T>` and takes the storage by value, so the caller's storage is moved; a borrow needs a lifetime on the struct and on every constructor (#11182)Not refused:
[]const u8(text),[T], an array field, a[]Tfield nothing fills from borrowed storage, a struct whose same-named field is a number. 8 fixtures inbootstrap/tests/fixtures/rust_slice_fields(4refuse_*, 4keep_*) and one test inbackend_behaviour.rs; I ran the 8 fixtures by hand against this branch's binary (all as expected) but not the cargo test itself.Scale
On the corpus of 2862 tracked .t27 files: gen-rust exit 0 on 2817 files before, 2748 on a tree that also holds the 8 fixtures; 73 newly refused (69 under
specs/, 4 undercompiler/andcontrib/), 0 newly generating, 0 other output changes against the D1 + D3 tree. The rule's narrower form (only a[]Tparameter stored, without&x) would take 40; about 170 tracked specs declare a[]Tstruct field at all, so refusing the field itself would take all of them. 66 of the 73 need a ledger row (3 already carry aparse-no-discardrow, 4 are outside the suite's walk); the 72 sealed ones are re-saved witht27c seal --save --force(gen_hash_rust=none).The alternative I evaluated (it does not make the ledger free)
Writing Rust instead of refusing needs a lifetime on the struct. I tried the simplest shape by hand on
stack.t27's output:pub struct Stack<'a> { pub items: &'a mut [i64], pub size: usize }(noClone),empty(storage: &mut [i64]) -> Stack, the other functions taking&mut Stack/Stack, with the lifetimes elided, andSome(..)on the two optional returns (that is #11219, a separate defect). rustc accepts it and a driver proves the aliasing: afterpush(&mut s, 42); pop(&mut s)the caller's array reads[42, 0, ...]. So the form can be written, without inventing a lifetime parameter name in function signatures. Its reach: a rough census of the 73 (regex over the sources) finds 22 with exactly one struct that has slice fields and exactly one slice field in it, 19 of those with no function taking more than one slice parameter (a second reference input makes the elided output lifetime ambiguous), and 38 with a struct holding two or more slice fields. So that lowering covers about 19 of 73 and the other ~54 would still be refused: a lower ledger, not a zero one. Other cheaper variants, not implemented: a warning on stderr (or a header comment like the existingNOT LOWERED BY THIS BACKEND) while still generating, which costs no rows but lets the move stand; narrowing the refusal to the parameter form (40 specs). I did not evaluate how many of the 73 fail rustc because of this form rather than for other defects.Gates, honestly
