Research direction

Open docs/BUILTINS.md and run grep -n "EIGS_STRICT=1" docs/BUILTINS.md to locate the affected rows. Update each row so the strict default is stated first and EIGS_STRICT=0 is the opt-out, then run bash tools/docs_claims_check.sh and confirm no unintended old phrasing remains.

Description

area:docs good first issue kind:docs-drift

Since #1361, strict is the default and EIGS_STRICT=0 is the opt-out. A note at the top of docs/BUILTINS.md defines how to read the old phrasing, but about 30 rows still describe the non-strict answer first, as if it were the default (... answers 0; under EIGS_STRICT=1 raises). A reader who skips the note reads the wrong default.

Find them with grep -n "EIGS_STRICT=1" docs/BUILTINS.md.

Done when

  • Each such row states the default first (raises) and the EIGS_STRICT=0 answer second.
  • grep -c "under .EIGS_STRICT=1. it raises\|under EIGS_STRICT=1" docs/BUILTINS.md is 0, or every remaining hit is intentional and says why.
  • bash tools/docs_claims_check.sh passes.
