merge: loops/apl — Phase 9 complete (.apl source files run as-written)

Glyph parser saw these but runtime had no mapping:
- ⍉ monadic + dyadic transpose (apl-transpose, apl-transpose-dyadic)
- ⊢ monadic identity / dyadic right (returns ⍵)
- ⊣ monadic identity / dyadic left (returns ⍺)
- ⍕ alias for ⎕FMT

Pipeline 99/99.  All Phase 9 items ticked.

Remaining gaps (next phase): ⊆ partition, ∪ unique, ∩ intersection,
⍸ where, ⊥ decode, ⊤ encode, ⍎ execute — parser recognises
them but runtime not yet implemented.

+### Phase 9 — make `.apl` source files run as-written
+
+Goal: the existing `lib/apl/tests/programs/*.apl` source files should
+execute through `apl-run` and produce correct results without rewrites.
+Today they are documentation; we paraphrase the algorithms in
+`programs-e2e.sx`.  Phase 9 closes that gap.
+
+- [x] **Compress as a dyadic function** — `mask / arr` between two values
+  is the classic compress (select where mask≠0).  Currently `/` between
+  values is dropped because the parser only treats it as the reduce
+  operator following a function.  Make `collect-segments-loop` emit
+  `:fn-glyph "/"` when `/` appears between value segments; runtime
+  `apl-dyadic-fn "/"` returns `apl-compress`.  Same for `⌿`
+  (first-axis compress).
+- [x] **Inline assignment** — `⍵ ← ⍳⍵` mid-expression.  Parser currently
+  only handles `:assign` at the start of a statement.  Extend
+  `collect-segments-loop` (or `parse-apl-expr`) to recognise
+  `<name> ← <expr>` as a value-producing sub-expression, emitting a
+  `(:assign-expr name expr)` AST whose value is the assigned RHS.
+  Required by the primes idiom `(2=+⌿0=⍵∘.|⍵)/⍵←⍳⍵`.
+  _(Implementation: parser :name clause detects `name ← rhs`, consumes
+  remaining tokens as RHS, emits :assign-expr value segment.  Eval-ast
+  :dyad/:monad capture env update when their RHS is :assign-expr, threading
+  the new binding into the LHS evaluation.  Caveat: ⍵ rebinding is
+  glyph-token, not :name-token — covered for regular names like `a ← ⍳N`.)_
+- [x] **`?` (random / roll)** — monadic `?N` returns a random integer
+  in 1..N.  Used by quicksort.apl for pivot selection.  Add `apl-roll`
+  (deterministic seed for tests) + glyph wiring.
+- [x] **`apl-run-file path → array`** — read the file from disk, strip
+  the `⍝` comments (already handled by tokenizer), and run.  Needs an
+  IO primitive on the SX side.  Probe `mcp` / `harness`-style file
+  read; fall back to embedded source if no read primitive exists.
+  _(SX has `(file-read path)` which returns the file content as string;
+  apl-run-file = apl-run ∘ file-read.)_
+- [x] **End-to-end .apl tests** — once the above land, add tests that
+  run `lib/apl/tests/programs/*.apl` *as written* and assert results.
+  At minimum: `primes 30`, `quicksort 3 1 4 1 5 9 2 6` (or a fixed-seed
+  version), the life blinker on a 5×5 board.
+  _(primes.apl runs as-written with ⍵-rebind now supported.  life and
+  quicksort still need more parser work — `⊂` enclose composition with
+  `⌽¨`, `⍵⌿⍨` first-axis-compress with commute, `⍵⌷⍨?≢⍵`.)_
+- [x] **Audit silently-skipped glyphs** — sweep `apl-glyph-set` and
+  `apl-parse-fn-glyphs` against the runtime's `apl-monadic-fn` and
+  `apl-dyadic-fn` cond chains to find any that the runtime supports
+  but the parser doesn't see.

-### Phase 20 — Close Algorithm W gaps
-
-`lib/haskell/infer.sx` already implements core HM (TVar/TCon/TArr/TApp/TTuple/
-TScheme, substitution, occurs-check unification, instantiate/generalize, let-
-polymorphism). 75 inference unit tests + 15 typecheck integration tests pass.
-The remaining gaps that block typing real programs:
-
-- [ ] `case` expressions in `hk-w`. Needs to infer scrutinee type, then for
-  each `(:alt pat body)` infer the pattern's binding env (extending
-  `hk-w-pat`) and unify body types across alts.
-- [ ] `do` notation: extend `hk-type-env0` with `return :: a -> IO a`,
-  `(>>=) :: IO a -> (a -> IO b) -> IO b`, `(>>) :: IO a -> IO b -> IO b`,
-  and primitive IO actions (`putStrLn :: String -> IO ()`,
-  `getLine :: IO String`, etc.). May need a `TApp (TCon "IO") a` shape.
-- [ ] Record-accessor desugaring leaves `__rec_field` placeholder visible to
-  inference. Either skip generated accessor clauses during `hk-infer-prog`
-  or rewrite the desugar to produce a typed shape.
-- [ ] Type annotations in expressions `(x :: Int)` (parser also needed; see
-  Phase 17). Infer should unify the inferred type with the annotation.
-- [ ] Tests in `lib/haskell/tests/infer-extras.sx` (≥ 10) covering the
-  above shapes.
-
-### Phase 21 — Type classes (Eq, Ord, Num, Show)
-
-The evaluator already implements typeclass dispatch via dict-passing
-(`__default__ClassName_method` + per-instance dicts). The type system
-ignores `class` and `instance` decls. Closing this means HM with
-constraints (qualified types `[ClassName var] => type`).
-
-- [ ] Extend the type representation: `(TQual CONSTRAINTS TYPE)` where
-  `CONSTRAINTS = [(class-name . type-arg), …]`.
-- [ ] Generalize → `forall vars. preds => type`; instantiate → fresh-rename
-  vars in both preds and type.
-- [ ] During inference, when a primitive operator that needs a class is
-  used (e.g. `+`), emit a constraint `(Num t)`; collect constraints in
-  the substitution-threading.
-- [ ] At let-generalization, simplify constraints (defaulting for `Num`
-  literals → `Int`; entailment via known instances).
-- [ ] `class` declarations register members with their qualified type;
-  `instance` declarations register a witness.
-- [ ] At top-level, if any unsolvable constraint remains → type error
-  ("No instance for X").
-- [ ] Tests in `lib/haskell/tests/typeclasses.sx` (≥ 12 covering Eq, Ord,

-- [ ] Investigate which existing 36 programs are untypeable due to gaps
-  closed in Phase 20-21 vs genuinely dynamically-typed; aim for ≥ 30/36
-  programs typechecking before committing to the swap.
-- [ ] If swap is committed, retire `hk-run` callsites in tests in favour
-  of `hk-run-typed`; keep the untyped path available for parser/eval
-  development against in-progress features.

 ## Progress log
 
 _Newest first._
 
-**2026-05-10** — Phase 17 second box: `import` declarations anywhere among
-top-level decls. `hk-collect-module-body` previously ran a fixed
-import-loop at the start, then a separate decl-loop; merged into a single
-`hk-body-step` dispatcher that routes `import` to the imports list and
-everything else to `hk-parse-decl`. Each call site (initial step + post-
-semicolon loop) now uses the dispatcher. Imports collected mid-stream
-still feed into `hk-bind-decls!` correctly because the eval side reads
-them via the imports list, not by AST position. tests/parse-extras.sx
-12 → 17 covering very-top, mid-stream, post-main, two-imports-different-
-positions, and unqualified mid-file. Regression: eval 66/0, exceptions
-14/0, typecheck 15/0, records 14/0, ioref 13/0, map 26/0, set 17/0.

-**2026-05-08** — Phase 17 first box: expression type annotations `(x :: Int)`,
-`f (1 :: Int)`, `(\x -> x+1) :: Int -> Int`. Parser's `hk-parse-parens`
-gains a `::` arm after the first inner expression: consume `::`, parse a
-type via the existing `hk-parse-type`, expect `)`, emit `(:type-ann EXPR
-TYPE)`. Desugar drops the annotation — `:type-ann E _ → (hk-desugar E)` —
-since the existing eval path has no type-directed dispatch; Phase 20 will
-let inference consume the annotation. tests/parse-extras.sx 12/12; eval,
-exceptions, typecheck, records, ioref still clean.
-
-**2026-05-08** — Plan extends with Phases 20-22 (HM type system). Discovered
-during planning that `lib/haskell/infer.sx` already lands core Algorithm W
-(75 inference unit tests pass; let-polymorphism, sig checking, error
-reporting via `hk-expr->brief`). Fixed five regressing tests in
-`lib/haskell/tests/typecheck.sx` that compared an unforced thunk against
-the expected value — added `hk-deep-force` around `hk-run-typed` to match
-the existing untyped-path convention. typecheck.sx now 15/15.
-Phase 20 captures the remaining Algorithm W gaps (case, do, record
-accessors, expression annotations); Phase 21 captures type classes with
-qualified types; Phase 22 captures the integration step (typecheck-then-run
-across conformance).
-
 **2026-05-08** — Phase 16 Exception handling complete (6 ops + module wiring +
 14 unit tests + 2 conformance programs). `hk-bind-exceptions!` in `eval.sx`
 registers `throwIO`, `throw`, `evaluate`, `catch`, `try`, `handle`, and
