note limit in a comment if there is one. _Verified; documented practical
limit of 2^53 (≈ 9e15) due to Haskell tokenizer parsing larger int literals
as floats. Raw SX is exact to ±2^62. See header comment in `numerics.sx`._

**2026-05-07** — Phase 10 large-integer audit (numerics.sx 10/10):
- Investigated SX number behavior in Haskell context. Findings:
• Raw SX `*`, `+`, etc. on two ints stay exact up to ±2^62 (~4.6e18).
• The Haskell tokenizer parses any integer literal > 2^53 (~9e15) as
a float — so factorial 19 already drifts even though int63 would fit.
• Once any operand is float, ops promote and decimal precision is lost.
• `Int` and `Integer` both currently map to SX number — no arbitrary
precision yet; documented as known limitation.
- New `tests/numerics.sx` (10 tests): factorials up to 18, products near
10^18 (still match via SX's permissive numeric equality), pow 2^62
boundary, show/decimal display. Header comment captures the practical
limit.
**2026-05-07** — Phase 9 conformance: `partial.hs` (7/7) → Phase 9 complete:
- New `tests/program-partial.sx` exercising `head []`, `tail []`,
`fromJust Nothing`, `undefined`, and user `error` from inside a `do` block;
