+A direct `int`, `uint`, `float`, or `range` field in a named native struct or union is a
 program-wide constraint, not per-value polymorphism. Before record layout, all reachable keyed
 constructors, field assignments, and concrete uses of field reads contribute demands and the field
 resolves once to one concrete runtime type. Compatible scalar demands widen normally. Integer
 literals remain provisional until inference settles, so a later `usize` use can resolve an `int`
 field to `usize`; otherwise literal-only `int` fields use the widest smallest-signed type required,
