go: Phase 7 generics closed — types 102/102, +30 cleared, total 556/556 [shapes-static-types-bidirectional]

Canonical generic functions: Map, Filter, Reduce, First end-to-end
type-check + run. Plus 20+ typer-only shape tests covering Apply,
Compose, ToMap, Swap, Box, Triple, ToSlice, Take, Send, Fill, Eq,
Values, Pair, Inspect, etc. Index synth (slice/array/map →
element type) added to typer.

v0 limitations stamped in tests: SX `/` is float (no int mod
emulation), `var r []T` indistinguishable from unbound, single-name
constraints opaque (no type-set arithmetic).

Shape locked in: "the parser recognizes shapes, the validator
recognizes roles." Same AST + different role-validators = different
guest semantics. Diary documents this as the lemma the kit should
extract — three deliverables (binding-groups, control-flow sentinels,
index synthesis) now all instantiate it.

+- 2026-05-28 — From Go-on-SX Phase 7 closing — **the "shape is the
+  parser, role is the validator" lemma.** After landing canonical
+  generic Map/Filter/Reduce/First plus 25+ typer tests, a clear
+  pattern has emerged across THREE distinct deliverables of the
+  Go-on-SX loop:
+
+    1. **Binding-groups** (struct fields / var-decls / params /
+       receivers / type-params): SAME parser, SAME `(:field NAMES
+       TY)` shape, 5 different validators based on what role TY
+       plays.
+
+    2. **Control-flow sentinels** (return-value / break / continue /
+       eval-error / go-panic): SAME `(go-panic? r)`-style dispatch
+       at 4+ AST control-flow sites, each calling the same predicate
+       list — would collapse to a single `propagates?` helper.
+
+    3. **Index synthesis** (`xs[0]` for slice / array / map): SAME
+       `(:index OBJ IDX)` AST, 3 element-type extraction rules
+       dispatching on OBJ's type. The validator differs per role,
+       but the parser shape is one.
+
+  The recurring lemma: **the kit's primary primitive is shape
+  recognition (parser + AST); the kit's secondary primitive is a
+  role-validator dispatch table.** Consumers (Go, Erlang, future
+  guests) plug their semantics into the role table; they never need
+  to define new shapes for things that already match an existing
+  AST.
+
+  Architectural payoff: at extraction time, the kit's API should
+  expose:
+
+    - `parse-XXX` → AST shape (one per shape)
+    - `validate-AST(role, ctx)` → either ctx or error (one per role)
+    - `dispatch-table(role)` → which-validator-fires-for-this-AST
+
+  Reuse across guest evaluators happens automatically because the
+  shape is shared. New guests only register new role handlers; they
+  don't extend the parser.
+
+  Concretely for the bidirectional checker: the synth/check skeleton
+  is the shape; assignable? and constraint-satisfies? are roles.
+  Adding a new language means adding a row to the role table, not a
+  column to the AST.
+
 - 2026-05-28 — From Go-on-SX Phase 7 foundation — **the field
   binding-group is a cross-deliverable shape, confirmed by its 6th
   consumer (type-parameter lists).** Previously documented uses:
