The compiled corpus ratchet grows both ways now - #692
Merged
Conversation
the_backend_still_compiles_what_it_used_to used to be one-directional: it asserted every named file still compiles, but said nothing if a file outside the list started compiling too, which is exactly the "something works, nothing holds it" pattern this repository keeps finding elsewhere. Now it asserts the compiled set equals the named list exactly, so a file that starts compiling and is not added here fails the build, the same way one that stops compiling already did. The doc comment says why the other twenty files are refused (prelude functions, #621; early return, #620) rather than repeating a per-file reason nobody would read, and says the ratchet should grow as the last commit of whatever PR made a file compile. Verified examples/tree.deed (merged since, #613) does not need adding: it still does not compile in the backend, so the exact-match assertion holds with the original six names.
