 the specialization checkpoint supports type arguments and constant integer, boolean, string, callback and null value arguments; declared value-parameter types survive specialization, including narrow checked arithmetic and optional captures/unwrap. integer arguments are range-checked even when unused, and erased argument expressions still receive ordinary checking. immutable constant expressions may use unary signs, `!`, `+`, `-`, `*`, comparisons and logical operators. type-producing procedures accept ordinary parameters as well as `$` parameters: every argument must be supplied explicitly and evaluate to a constant, and every input participates in specialization caching. for example, `Fixed proc(T type, count usize) type { return struct { values [count]T } }` accepts `Fixed(i16, 2)` and reuses its nominal type for equivalent inputs. use `$` when a parameter must be visible in subsequent signature annotations. runaway specialization is diagnosed at 128 nested evaluation/specialization calls or 4096 instances.
 
-type-producing bodies support mutable type and value locals, direct binding assignment, scoped blocks, conditional/early returns, integer range and while loops, break/continue and nested/recursive type-producing calls. for example, start with `Result := T`, repeat `Result = [2]Result` in a loop, then `return Result` to generate nested array storage. snapshots retain each local's current value without changing the source AST; scalar operations reuse checking, typed IR and interpreter execution, preserving exact types and overflow diagnostics. type-control execution is limited to 4096 statement/loop-guard steps shared with nested producers; individual scalar evaluations retain the interpreter limits below. only executed bodies are elaborated, while every body is still parsed and name-resolved. cleanup and type-valued aggregate storage in type-producing bodies remain outside this checkpoint.

-field/index assignments also update initialized, materializable aggregate locals in type-producing bodies, including nested record fields and mutable fixed-array elements. for example, `counts [2]mut usize := [0, 0]` followed by `counts[1] = 2` can generate `[counts[1]]i16` storage. each update uses ordinary checked IR and returns a new owned constant: earlier copies remain unchanged, while later loop iterations, generated lengths and defaults observe the update. ordinary mutability, index-type/bounds, field and exact value-type checks still apply, including immutable payload captures and narrow arithmetic overflow. imported producers and repeated compilation retain source diagnostics and nominal cache identity; pointer/slice-backed mutation and type-valued aggregate storage remain open.

-type-producing bodies also iterate materializable fixed arrays and strings with immutable by-value element captures and optional `usize` indices: `for counts |count, index| { length = length + count + index }` can compute generated storage. nested loops, aggregate captures, empty collections, break/continue and early returns share the type-control execution bound. array places retain their entry-time indices and observe later element updates; temporary arrays and strings are evaluated once. ordinary constant-input procedures additionally support slice and pointer captures through checked IR, provided only materializable results escape. type-producing loop bodies still reject storage-bearing captures rather than retaining temporary interpreter addresses; type-valued elements and `inline for` remain open.

+initialized fixed arrays of `type` also live entirely inside type-producing execution, including nested arrays, explicit/inferred annotations, `.len`, checked `usize` indexing and collection captures. for example, `types [2]mut type := [i8, bool]`, then `types[1] = i16` and `return [types.len]types[1]`, generates `[2]i16` without runtime type metadata. whole-array and nested indexed assignments preserve shape and mutability at every level; copies and loop captures retain earlier values while borrowed array places observe later updates. selected types work in nested producers, signatures, constructors and field defaults through interpreter/native execution, with imported diagnostics and repeatable compilation. uninitialized arrays, type-valued record storage and type-array procedure parameters/results remain open.
 
 optional `if`/`while` captures also execute in type-producing bodies: `if count |length| { return [length]i16 }` generates storage from an optional `usize`. ordinary checked IR validates each executed guard; present payloads become immutable owned constants with exact scalar/aggregate types and strings, and absent optionals skip the body. while guards observe updated locals on each iteration; captures stay body-local across break/continue and early return. generated lengths/defaults, imported producers, cache identity and repeated compilation preserve these values. null data/function pointers materialize as null, but nonnull pointer/slice/callback-bearing payloads retain the constant-materialization escape boundary.
