Research direction
Locate the implementation of diagnostic W022 and compare its wording with the runtime's over-arity error, using an executed call with three arguments and a two-parameter callee. Update W022, docs/DIAGNOSTICS.md, and the CLAUDE.md sentence if stale; done means all three describe the observed behavior accurately.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Found by the blind critic on PR #1332, and pre-existing on main 940af49.
W022's message says the extra arguments "are silently dropped". The runtime does not drop them: a call that passes 3 arguments to a 2-parameter callee raises call passes 3 arguments but the callee takes 2. The diagnostic describes behaviour the language no longer has.
Done when
- W022's message (and
docs/DIAGNOSTICS.md) describes the current runtime behaviour, with an executed example. - The CLAUDE.md "over-arity ... silently dropped" sentence is checked against the runtime and corrected if stale.
