Spec 1.4 says its keywords must not be used as function names. E153 held that for eleven of them; for twenty-one it held nothing, and those names were not traps -- `private fn with(@int -> @int)` declared, type checked, verified, compiled, ran, and answered a bare `with(1)`, and kept working inside a contract clause, inside an if/then/else, in a function carrying its own `where` block, and after a `let`. The comment above `_KEYWORD_FN_NAMES` gave the opposite as the reason they were absent from the set, so the omission rested on a premise the tree refutes. What was broken was the specification, not any program: a model trusting 1.4 and a model trusting the compiler derive different programs from one source of truth, with no tool contradicting either. DESIGN principle 1 makes that a defect whatever the program does at runtime, principle 6 chooses enforcement over narrowing 1.4, and principle 3 supplies the precedent -- E152 rejects even a faithful re-declaration of a built-in effect, a second textual spelling being itself the problem. The reserved set is now derived from `vera/grammar.lark`, the shape `builtin_effect_names()` already uses for E152, so a keyword added to the grammar is reserved the moment it is added; the hand-list it replaces had fallen twenty-one names behind with no gate able to see the drift. The derivation found four more -- `ability`, `effects`, `op` and `result` are grammar keywords 1.4 never listed -- and 1.4's list is reconciled to it. They join E153 as a fourth branch with its own rationale. The existing keyword wording asserts no call site can reach the declaration, which is false for all of these, so reusing it would tell authors a falsehood about their own program; the new branch argues from the reservation, and carries a per-name rename hint because the generic template yields `in_fn` and `type_fn`. `handle` stays legal as the host-invoked entry point, and the reservation stays on the whole identifier. Section 1.4's "type names" half is corrected rather than enforced: every type-namespace binder in the grammar is an UPPER_IDENT and every keyword is lowercase, so that half was never violable. New conformance negative ch05_reserved_contextual_keyword_fn_rejected plus 110 tests -- five parametrized batteries over all 21 (declaration, visibility, where-helper, rationale-free-of-the-false-claim, usable fix) with `handle` and fifteen keyword-containing names as controls. Red first: 107 of the 110 failed at the branch point, the three passers being the controls. Mutation-validated by dropping one keyword from the derivation, which flips that name's five cells and both set pins red while the other twenty stay green. Corpus differential: zero movers. Two documentation corrections from PR #1326's review ride here, both in files this commit already touches. FAQ.md's browser passage names `IO.read_char` separately from the by-construction boundary list rather than folding it in: the browser stub returns an explanatory Err reading "IO.read_char not yet supported in browser target", pending the JSPI suspend/resume primitive, so it is a not-yet rather than something a page cannot host. vera/README.md scopes the browser runtime's "any compiled Vera .wasm module" claim to core modules -- the default and browser targets emit the same binary and so share one import ABI, while --target wasi-p2 emits a component, a different artifact format with its own host.

The review's real Minor: the local-invocation comment said 16 where pytest -m stress collects 26 — test_stress.py's 16 plus TestHostHandleReclamation573's 10 in test_codegen_gc_reclamation.py, which joined the marker after the line was written.

The review's chain-catch: line 766 now derives the marker's 26 while the Budget paragraph said "the full suite ... 16". The 16 is a dated measurement (0.66s, 2026-05-13) of the nightly workflow's actual invocation — pytest -m stress tests/test_stress.py, file-scoped — so the fix is scoping language naming where the other 10 instances run, not renumbering a measurement that never covered them. Also restores the "7 of them" eager-lane nuance the previous edit dropped. Skip-changelog: TESTING.md prose scoping only Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.invalid>

The review's follow-through catch was right and mine was wrong: the previous commit said the 10 TestHostHandleReclamation573 instances "ride the main per-PR suite", but the per-PR addopts deselect the stress marker (they are the standing 26-deselected) and the nightly workflow is file-scoped to tests/test_stress.py — so no automated lane runs them, against the class comment's own "or nightly CI" intent.

@coderabbitai On the KNOWN_ISSUES outside-diff item (keep the #1296 row while the issue is open): declining deliberately — this is the repository's release workflow, the same disposition given on PR #1325 for its #1268 row. This branch IS the fix for #1296; each fixing PR removes its Bugs row in the same change that fixes the bug, the close keyword rides the fixing commit, and the issue closes when the release PR merges to |

v0.1.12 burndown, group F: enforce spec §1.4's reserved-keyword MUST — #1296, per the maintainer ruling ("enforce, assuming the DESIGN file agrees") with the derivation posted on the issue before code moved. (Close keyword rides the commit; the issue closes at the release PR's merge to
main.)What the sweep changed before any code moved
The phase-1 blast-radius sweep (posted with the derivation on #1296) corrected the issue itself: the true enforcement set is twenty-one names, not seventeen —
ability,effects,op, andresultare grammar keywords accepted-and-working as function names but absent from §1.4, while the type-namespace half of the MUST is structurally vacuous (theUPPER_IDENTcase rail makes lowercase keywords unreachable there). All twenty-one were fully working at the branch point (68/68 interaction probes clean; zero uses across 658 corpus files, instrument-validated), so the DESIGN case had to be argued against the strongest counter-case — and was: P1 (an unenforced MUST is a checkability failure between spec and compiler), P6 (change the document that admits fewer programs), P3 (E152 refuses even faithful re-declarations;resume's non-trap reservation is the in-family precedent), with all three shipped editor grammars already painting the names as keywords.The enforcement
The reserved set derives from
grammar.lark(grammar_keyword_names()minus thehandlecarve-out) — thebuiltin_effect_names()anti-drift shape, so the next grammar keyword self-gates the moment it exists. The names join E153 under a fourth rationale branch arguing reservation-from-spec (never the existing branch's unreachability claim, which is false for these names and now quoted in the comment only as the refuted historical premise). Per-name fix suggestions where the generic suffix misleads (in→contains,then/else→then_branch/otherwise, …); the whole-identifier rule andhandlecarve-out preserved.RED at the branch point: 107 failed / 3 passed — five parametrized batteries × 21 names plus the two set pins red, the three negative controls (legal
handle, keyword-containing identifiers, the vacuous type half) green on both sides as controls must be. The derivation pin re-reads the grammar file independently of the checker; its mutation (dropopfrom the derivation) reds exactly the seven cells that name it while the other twenty names stay green. One conformance fixture (ch05_reserved_contextual_keyword_fn_rejected) per the E153/E154 family precedent of splitting by reason, never by name. Corpus differential: 0 movers — as the sweep's zero-hits predicted. §1.4 reconciled to the derived set; §5.2's groups updated; the five-file prose lockstep landed.Review shape (lean protocol, stated honestly)
Under the sprint's budget ruling this group ran without a full adversarial round: the phase-1 sweep and derivation were produced and posted before implementation, the implementation followed that pre-agreed design exactly, and the conductor spot-verified the enforcement end-to-end on the committed tree (
fn where→ E153;fn handle_it→ clean) against the reported battery, mutation, and gate tallies. On the current head — rebased across the five subsequent integration merges with union rules, the full suite run once on the union (11,587 passed / 173 skipped, exit 0), and the full pre-commit chain green — the tallies are: conformance 244/244, manifest file-set ↔ disk exact both ways, doc-counts oracle iterated to zero untailed, mypy/ruff clean. The rebase commit also carries two doc corrections routed from PR #1326's final review pass (the FAQ's separately-namedIO.read_charnot-yet, and vera/README's browser-runtime claim scoped to core modules with the--target wasi-p2component named as the exclusion), each verified against the runtime and CLI ground truth first.
