+**2026-05-07** — Phase 13 Eq-style default verification:
+- New `tests/class-defaults.sx` (5 tests) seeds the class-defaults test file.

 **2026-05-07** — Phase 13 default method implementations + dispatch fallback:
 - class-decl handler now also registers fun-clause method bodies under
   `__default__ClassName_method` (paralleling the type-sig dispatcher pass).
