Rule 9.1

Chapter 9, Built-in functions and the TypeShade extensions Test

Every builtin id the compiler can emit must be classified as portable (PORTABLE_INTRINSICS) or as a row of the INTRINSICS registry; an unclassified id must not reach a backend.

The rule text and the parts under it are the compiler's own English, as the design document writes them.

Rationale

“absent from the registry” used to mean “assume identical”, and a new builtin whose spelling differs would then be emitted wrong on one target and caught only at GPU compile time.

Derives from

Built-in Functions; the comment above PORTABLE_INTRINSICS in src/core/intrinsics.ts.

How it is verified

Checked by a test. A test, a gate script or a CI workflow names this rule, and the traceability check fails when a file listed below stops naming it.

Where the rule says the compiler enforces it:

src/core/intrinsic-coverage.test.ts (inline snapshot).

The files that verify it at commit 26de7be8, each at the first line that names the rule:
