fix: close type-safety holes found by adversarial review; update docs
Review findings (all reproduced, then fixed and re-verified):
- '^x' leaked as a raw address into any builtin context (s <- ^x printed
the variable's bytes as a C string; NOT ^x, '&', and ^x = ^x compiled).
Address-of is now rejected everywhere except a pointer-typed target.
- A whole-array variable passed the nominal gate as a value of its
ELEMENT type (s <- arrayOfSeason stored the raw data pointer; = on it
emitted invalid IR). Whole arrays are now rejected as operands and as
coercion sources; array parameters are unaffected.
- Enum values smuggled into INTEGER through array subscripts and DECLARE
bounds (a[Autumn], ARRAY[Spring:Winter]); both now go through
emitCoercedExpr like every other INTEGER context.
- An array DECLAREd inside an IF/WHILE/REPEAT/FOR body and used after the
block was a wild-pointer write (constant bounds) or a verifier dump
(runtime bounds). Arrays are now block-scoped: control-flow bodies
snapshot and restore the ArrayTable, so escape is a clean compile error.
- Duplicate parameter names silently shadowed (BYREF write-back defeated);
now a parse error. Trailing comma in parameter lists accepted; now a
parse error consistent with every other list.
- A variable/array/parameter/function could reuse a TYPE name; reserved.
- RETURN with a value inside a PROCEDURE was silently discarded (control
did not return); now an error, as is a bare RETURN in a FUNCTION.
- INPUT r.f mis-parsed into a three-error cascade; now one clear error.
- Assigning to an enum constant now says so instead of 'Unknown variable'.
Docs: ARCH/CONVENTIONS/EXTENDING/SUBSYSTEMS/PITFALLS rewritten for the
TYPE system (ABI additions, nominal-typing invariants, admission-gate
doors, array-parameter ABI, new recipes, new sharp edges); README
features/TODO updated — random files are unblocked.
