the checker keeps union-find parent links and group sizes in a compact array separate from per-node inference metadata. root walks and path compression access only that link storage; both temporary arrays are released before `check.check` returns.
numeric typing follows contextual rules within Honey's current `int` and `float` families. integer literals can adopt either family; float literals remain float. numeric demands propagate through arithmetic and inferred bindings before undemanded integers default to `int`. conflicting demands are errors; fixed `int` values do not implicitly convert to `float`. `+`, `-`, `*` and unary `-` require compatible numeric operands; `/` requires and supplies float context. `3 / 2`, `3.0 / 2`, and `ratio float :: 3 / 2` are valid; division involving fixed `int` values requires explicit conversion.
numeric typing follows contextual rules within Honey's current `int` and `float` families. integer literals can adopt a supported numeric family only when their value is exactly representable; float literals remain float and opt into ordinary IEEE rounding. numeric demands propagate through arithmetic and inferred bindings before undemanded integers default to `int`. conflicting demands are errors; fixed `int`/`i64`, `usize`, and `float`/`f64` values do not implicitly convert between families. `+`, `-`, `*` and unary `-` require compatible numeric operands; `/` requires and supplies float context. `3 / 2`, `3.0 / 2`, and `ratio float :: 3 / 2` are valid. `value f64 :: 9007199254740993` is diagnosed, including when float context arrives through aliases, division, or array elements; `9007199254740993.0` explicitly permits rounding. exactly representable integers beyond the signed/unsigned integer ranges remain valid in float context. explicit numeric casts are not yet implemented.
the conversion policy is value-preserving by default: any future implicit widening must preserve every value of the source type, not merely the value observed at one use. narrowing, potentially inexact integer-to-float conversion, float-to-integer conversion, and signedness changes that cannot preserve the full source range require an explicit operation. integer arithmetic remains checked rather than wrapping; floating arithmetic retains IEEE rounding.
type errors carry source spans and diagnostic identities; invalid operands propagate their existing identity without duplicate errors, while independent expressions, arguments and nested bodies are still checked. inference cycles without a type anchor are diagnosed. function signatures are checked independently of their bodies. bare `return` and same-line `return expression` are supported inside function bodies and must match the declared result type. nonvoid return-path checking is structural: every path must return or terminate in a diagnostic trap, and both conditional successors are considered without constant folding. a missing `else` or a loop permits fallthrough, even for a literal `true` condition; a later return can close that path. statements after a return and untaken branches or loops are still type-checked but are not executed.
