fix(compiler): literal patterns are membership tests, not == (B-1073) - #4478

Conversation
A literal pattern asks whether a value inhabits a singleton type, but it lowered to `BinOp::Eq` — the arithmetic operator, which widens across the numeric tower on purpose. The type system holds `1`, `1.0` and `1n` disjoint, so `x is 1` firing for `1.0` let a heap `Float` reach code compiled against the narrowed int-literal type. The same construct had four lowerings and they disagreed: `BinOp::Eq` widened, the `SwitchKind::Integer` chain was correct, a dense `JumpTable` raised a VM type error instead of falling through, and `IsType` against a literal's *base* type tag admitted every inhabitant of that base (`x is One` for `type One = 1` matched every int — a second, independent bug). All four now go through the relation every other pattern kind already used: `IsType` -> `is_subtype`. - lower.rs: literal patterns emit `emit_is_type_branch` on `RuntimeTy::Literal`, and an integer `Switch` over a scrutinee that is not provably int-only is guarded by an `INT` tag test that falls through to `otherwise`. - vm.rs: `value_singleton_ty` reconstructs a value's most precise type, without which `is_subtype(value_ty, literal)` is false for every literal. Kept separate from `value_concrete_ty`, which impl-registry dispatch keys on. `value_is_literal` does the exact identity check. - const_value.rs / emit.rs: `ConstValue::Literal` is a fifth constant shape for the already-overloaded `IsType` instruction, keeping the hot path a direct compare rather than a full `is_subtype` call. - emit.rs: `realized_type_tag` returns `None` for a literal — a tag names a base type, and a literal is a strict subset of its base.

658-673: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low valueConsider a direct Rust unit test for
runtime_ty_is_int_only.This is a small, pure function with clear boundary cases (raw
int, int literal, non-int-only union member, mixed union). Coverage today comes from.bamlintegration tests that exercise it indirectly through the full compile-and-run pipeline. A direct unit test in this crate would isolate the classification logic from switch lowering and VM execution.As per coding guidelines: "Prefer writing Rust unit tests over integration tests where possible."

Changes
A literal pattern is a membership test against a singleton type, but it lowered to
BinOp::Eq— the arithmetic equality operator, which widens across the numeric tower on purpose. Sox is 1fired for1.0, while the type system holds1,1.0and1ndisjoint.The same construct had four lowerings and they disagreed:
1.0vs pattern1BinOp::Eqis, guarded match armSwitchKind::IntegerchainJumpTableVM internal error: expected int, got floatIsType+ type tagx is Onefortype One = 1The last row is a second, independent bug found while fixing this one:
realized_type_tagmappedLiteral(Int, 1)to the baseINTtag, so the one path that was already a membership test discarded the literal's value.All four now go through one relation —
IsType→is_subtype— which is what every other pattern kind already used.lower.rs: literal patterns emitemit_is_type_branchagainstRuntimeTy::Literalinstead ofRvalue::BinaryOp { op: Eq }.vm.rs: newvalue_singleton_tyreconstructs a value's most precise type (the int1reportsLiteral(Int, 1), notint). Without itis_subtype(value_ty, literal)is false for every literal and nothing would inhabit a literal type. Kept separate fromvalue_concrete_tybecause impl-registry dispatch keys on that one andimplement I for intmust resolve for every int.vm.rs: newvalue_is_literal— exact representation and contents, never the tower widening.const_value.rs/emit.rs: newConstValue::Literal, the fifth constant shape for the existing overloadedIsTypeinstruction (alongside class pointer, class+args, enum pointer, type tag). Keeps the hot path a direct identity check instead of a fullis_subtypecall — no new opcode.emit.rs:realized_type_tagreturnsNonefor a literal. A tag names a base type and a literal is a strict subset of its base, so a base tag over-accepts.lower.rs: an integerSwitchover a scrutinee that is not provably int-only is now guarded by anINTtag test that falls through tootherwise. A non-int reaching an integer switch is a match failure, not a broken invariant.Note beyond the ticket
The wrong arm was not the worst consequence. In the then-branch the compiler narrows
xto the int literal type, solet y: int = xis accepted while the value is a heapFloat, andy % 2emitsOpCode::ModInt, which doesstd::hint::unreachable_unchecked()on a non-int (vm.rs:8695). That is UB in release, reachable from safe BAML source. This PR removes the way in; it does not change those preconditions, which stay sound only as long as narrowing is. Worth a separate look.Testing
crates/baml_tests/baml_src/ns_literal_pattern_membership/literal_pattern_membership.baml— 22 native tests covering all four lowerings against the same value, both directions of int/bigint, bool, and string literals.crates/bex_vm/src/type_match.rs—literal_membership_agrees_with_algebrapins the relationConstValue::Literalspecializes, so the fast path and the general path cannot drift.Bytecode display snapshots churn as expected:
load_const X+cmp_op ==becomesis_type X(ornarrow_bindat bind sites) in the MIR/codegen stages ofis_operator,match_basics,match_types,patterns_new_runtime,patterns_class_destructure_namespaces,lambda_advanced,generic_intersection_bounds,__ai_std__, and thebytecode_formatdisplays. Every changed snapshot line is that substitution.Summary by CodeRabbit
