Inside elaborate, a declaration is a DefId. A site — an expression, a call, a reference — stays an AstId, which is what Resolutions is keyed by and what a binder gets. Every table that files a declaration keys by identity.

DefTable identifies impl blocks

An impl block writes no name, so no symbol table row named it and it had no identity. It gets one (DefKind::Impl), and its methods become members under it, reached by dispatch like a trait's. The block renders an empty name because it writes none, which is also what keeps it out of every scope; a local block is excluded from its block's name map for the same reason.

The tables that follow

key
TraitEnv::impl_headers, the impl indices, blanket_impls, static_method_index the block's DefId
Signatures::{function_sigs, method_sigs, trait_sigs, impl_sigs, resource_method_ids} the declaration
MethodSig, MethodInfo, StaticMethodRef, ImplMethodHeader, StaticMethodEntry the method
ModuleDecls::effect_ops the declaration

CalleeRef carries the declaration it names, with the module and name its one constructor reads off the table, so TIR emission needs no table at hand and nothing reads a rendering back into an identity. Its Rendered case is what genuinely names no declaration: an effect operation, whose module is the namespace WIR keys on, and the unknown-callee sentinel.

DefTable::def_at answers "the declaration at this node" once, and Elaborator::{def_at, free_function_at, free_function_sig_at, decl_in_module, callee_of, callee_in_module, record_reference_to_decl} are the walker's reads of it.

Three defects the identities close

A bare call is answered by its own reference site. Seven lookups each spelled a tier order over the walking module's names — this module, then its imports, then the callee's scope. A parameter default is written in the callee's module and walked from the call site, so a caller declaring the same spelling took the answer: the use→def edge went to the caller's function while reify emitted a call to the callee's, and the package minted an extern stub for a function it defines. Fixture: cross_module_same_name_default_fn.wado.

The same read settles panic / unreachable: a module's own declaration outranks the prelude's, where reaching for core:rt by name silently discarded it. Fixture: shadow_prelude_panic.wado.

A generic impl's type X = … belongs to the declaration its header names. The registration looked its target up by written name in the impl's module, then scanned every loaded module and took the first match. Two modules declaring Node and an impl written outside either put the binding on whichever loaded first. The header names its target at a site of its own, like the trait reference beside it. Fixture: cross_module_same_name_gassoc.wado.

Operator dispatch names the block it matched. Where a concrete impl answered, the module is read off that declaration. A generic block's instance is materialised in the receiver type's module — the convention TraitEnv::concrete_impl_module_for encodes — so only a concrete one is read this way.

Roadmap

wep-2026-07-09 now states what closing the local-impl gap takes: two module-wide registries are built before any function body is walked, TraitEnv yields to a body walk and Signatures does not, and indexing only the first turns the diagnostic into a panic.

wep-2026-08-12 records decl_in_module among the sanctioned name→declaration paths, and that impl_target_decl_key survives on the paths naming no block.

docs/compiler.md names the phases elaborate runs — analyze, resolve, annotate, liveness, reify — where one row had covered all of them.

An `impl` block was the one declaration the table did not identify, so
everything keyed on one — `ImplBlockRef`, `impl_sigs`, `method_sigs`, the
impl index — spelled it `(ModuleSource, AstId)` instead.

It writes no name, so `name` renders empty and no scope can hold it; a
local block is kept out of its block's name map for the same reason. Its
methods are members, reached by dispatch like a trait's.

Every impl index spelled an impl block `(ModuleSource, AstId)` — a pair
standing in for the identity the block now has. `TraitImplIndex`,
`impl_headers`, `blanket_pack_assocs`, `blanket_param_sources`,
`ImplBlockRef`, `BlanketImpl` and `Signatures::impl_sigs` key by the
block's `DefId` instead, and a consumer that needed the module reads it
off the declaration.

`Signatures` and `ModuleDecls` filed a method, a trait, and an
`interface` / `resource` operation under the declaring node. Each is a
declaration, so each is keyed by its `DefId` now, and so are the headers
and indices that reach them: `ImplMethodHeader`, `MethodSig`,
`StaticMethodEntry`, `StaticMethodRef`, `ResourceStaticMethodIndex` and
`MethodInfo`.

Three lookups that read a declaring node off an identity only to key a
map by it lose the round trip. The use→def edge map still names nodes on
both sides — navigation recovers a def's module from its id space — so
`record_reference_to_decl` reads that node once, at the sink.

`trait_env` digested a method header twice, once for a trait's methods
and once for an impl's; one producer now answers both. Also fixes two
`copied`/`cloned` clippy lints the previous commit introduced.

A parameter default is written in the callee's module and walked from the
call site, so a tier order over the *walking* module's names answered with
the caller's same-named declaration. The use→def edge then named the
caller's function while reify called the callee's, liveness never marked
the real one reachable, and the call minted an extern stub for a function
the package defines — an ICE.

The call's own site was already answered, by the module that wrote it.
Read that first. `panic` / `unreachable` reach codegen by name rather than
as ordinary callees, so they answer ahead of it.

`function_sigs` was keyed `(ModuleSource, String)`, and seven lookups each
spelled their own tier order over it — this module, then the import, then
the callee's scope. Three answers to one question, disagreeing exactly
where two modules share a spelling.

The site was already answered, once, by the module that wrote it. Each
lookup now reads it: `free_function_at` / `free_function_sig_at`. The two
positions with no site — `builtin::f`, a namespace member's signature —
name their module rather than search for one.

`CalleeRef` carries the declaration, with the module and name its one
constructor reads off the table, so TIR emission needs no table and no
rendering is read back. `Rendered` holds what names no declaration in this
currency: an effect operation, and the unknown-callee sentinel.

Falls out as dead: `symbol_at`, four `CalleeRef` constructors, and the
`imported_functions` / `default_scope_module` branches of callee
classification.

…gainst

`effect_ops` was the last `AstId`-keyed declaration map; the operator
path derived an impl's module by walking the receiver's newtype chain
comparing renderings, with a by-name lookup behind it.

`ArithmeticTraitInfo` carries the block the lookup already matched, so
where there is one the module is read off it. The three paths that name
no block — an auto-derived `Eq` / `Ord`, and a method reached through a
type parameter's bound, whose block monomorphization picks — keep the
derivation.

Registering a generic impl's `type X = …` looked its target up by the
written name in the impl's module, then scanned every loaded module and
took the first match — a build-order pick with no ambiguity check, which
WEP 2026-08-12 names as what a derivation may not be. Instrumenting it
shows the pick firing: with two modules declaring `Node`, an impl written
outside either registers against whichever loaded first.

The header names its target at a site of its own, which the writing
module answered for — the same read `trait_key` above it already does.

The whole-program scan is dropped rather than repaired: the suite passes
without it, so nothing consulted what it found. The direct tier is not
dead — removing the registration entirely fails the stdlib snapshot.

The key stays `AstId`-shaped: its readers arrive through `decl_of_type`,
which also answers for monomorphized instances and `BuiltinArray`,
neither of which carries a `DefId`.

Six findings from review over the `DefId` re-keying, four of them
regressions this branch introduced.

`panic` / `unreachable` answered ahead of the call's own reference site,
so a module declaring either name of its own lost it: `fn panic(msg) ->
i32` compiled to a `core:rt/panic` call that trapped, with only an
unused-function warning. The site answers first now and the prelude
branch is its fallback, for a synthesised node no walk saw.

Operator dispatch took its module from the matched `impl` block for a
generic block too, but a generic block's post-substitution instance is
materialised in the receiver type's module — the convention
`concrete_impl_module_for` encodes. Only a concrete block names it.

`cm_owner` read the selected method's parent, which is the `impl` block
that declares it rather than a resource, so the spelling fallback it
suppressed never ran and `#[cm("…")]` was dropped. Only a resource's own
method names one.

`function_sigs` assembled by cloning every signature, parameter-default
AST and all, where the per-module digests are shared by `Rc`.

Plus two stale docs: `receiver_site`'s comment had been left above
`callee_site`, and `method_sigs` still said `AstId`.

The local-`impl` identity test now says it covers identity alone:
`TraitEnv::build` walks a module's own items, so nothing a local block
declares is dispatchable yet, which predates this branch.

`of_ast_id(node).expect("every … is a declaration")` had grown to
seventeen sites under eight wordings, all asking the one question
`DefTable::def_at` now answers — and its panic names the node, which
none of the eight did.

`CalleeRef::declared(resolutions.defs(), …)` likewise: `callee_of` takes
the declaration and `callee_in_module` the two-step behind it, so no
call site threads the table to build a callee.

The rest is comments the code says for itself, and one duplicated
lookup: `effect_ops` re-derived the owner two lines under the binding
that already held it.

The pipeline table merged everything from analyze to TIR emission into
one `Annotate | TIR + facts` row, so nothing pointed at resolve,
liveness or reify, and `TirModule` was attributed to annotate.

`X.tysys.resolutions.defs().def_at(id)` stood at ten call sites across
four receivers; `TypeParamScope` derefs to the walker, so one method
serves them all.

An `Arc::clone` guarded a borrow that was never taken: `cm_owner`'s
`or_else` reads `&self` like everything around it.

The fixtures said in a header what their own `test` names already said,
and each sub-module re-explained the entry module's half.

`decl_in_module` joins the sanctioned list: it is `lookup_in_module` read
back as an identity, for the qualified positions no reference site
answers.

`impl_target_decl_key` was listed as going once the impl index carried
`DefId`s. It carries them now, and the entry survives — a dispatch that
matched a concrete block reads the module off it, but an auto-derived
`Eq` / `Ord` and a bound-reached method name no block to read.

`type_params.is_empty()` stood at three sites asking it — the module
index's `concrete_only` filter, method lookup's `skip_filter`, and
operator dispatch — so `ImplHeader::is_concrete` answers instead.

The WEP entry this branch added said `decl_in_module` served "the two
qualified positions". It serves four, and one of them — a default
expression's own module — is not qualified. Its neighbour narrated the
change ("now carries `DefId`s") where a WEP states what stands.

The gap named one registry built before bodies are walked. There are two,
and only `TraitEnv` yields to a body walk — `Signatures` is frozen
between the declaration pass and that walk, while a local `impl`'s target
interns its `TypeId` inside it.

Recorded with what a first attempt hits: the orphan rule reads a
function-local target as foreign, and indexing `TraitEnv` alone turns the
diagnostic into a panic.

The walker slim-down drops a field count that has since moved.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The compiler now uses canonical DefId identities for declarations, signatures, calls, methods, traits, implementations, and associated types. New fixtures cover cross-module name collisions, conversions, newtype dispatch, associated types, aliases, and prelude shadowing.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f1233

The PR still has a correctness risk for aliased generic implementation lookup, and static dispatch metadata may select a same-named declaration after method resolution; the regression fixture also lacks its required expected-output section. Merge should wait for these fixes or explicit owner acceptance.

The third tuple element holds the resource declaration, while the neighbouring StaticMethodEntry::method_id holds a method declaration. Both are DefId in a similarly shaped index, and only static_method_sig shows which is which.

Consider covering an impl block in the seeding test.

declare_impl_block returns early on a known AstId, and declare_item_members skips a member already linked to the same owner. The seeded test source declares no impl block, so neither guard is exercised on the rebuild path. Add an impl block to the source of seeding_keeps_a_seen_declaration_at_its_identity so a re-build proves the block keeps its DefId and lists its methods once.

…claration

A static call resolved its impl blocks from the receiver's written spelling.
Under `use { Meters as M }`, `M::from(3)` compared the impl header's head
(`Meters`) against the call's spelling (`M`), matched nothing, and reached WIR
build with an unresolved call. Where the spelling was the declared name that
the caller never imported, the derived key indexed nothing at all.

`locate_static_method_impl` and `conversion_impl_survey` now compare against
the target declaration's own name, and take the resolved `ImplTargetKey` from
the paths that already hold one: `resolve_static_method_call` off the receiver
type, and the newtype base in `resolve_static_method_call_from_qualified`.

2240-2243: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the canonical receiver key for dispatch metadata.

The static call can select the correct impl but then read is_mut, defaults, or parameter types from a same-named declaration in the caller module. This breaks argument checking and reified dispatch metadata.

  • wado-compiler/src/elaborator/method_call.rs#L2240-L2243: call lookup_static_method_param_is_mut_keyed with struct_key_for_lookup.as_ref().
  • wado-compiler/src/elaborator/method_call.rs#L3820-L3865: pass receiver_key.as_ref() to the keyed mutability, defaults, and parameter-type lookups.

As per coding guidelines, “A declaration is identified by its DefId, never by its name.”

Mutability, defaults and parameter types of a static method were read
back through the written name, so a caller declaring the same spelling
answered for a receiver declared elsewhere. Both call paths pass the key
they already hold.

…eiver

An impl block writes its target under whatever name its own module
imported, so a header's head is neither the declaration's name nor a call
site's: `impl From<Instant> for ClockInstant` in core:temporal targets
wasi:clocks' `Instant`. Comparing the head against the declared name
dropped such an impl and left the mangled call unresolved at WIR build.
The head is canonicalised in the impl's own module first, as the
argument-type match beside it already does.

- Around line 3304-3306: Update the target-head computation around
get_type_name_static and import_original_name so names found in
header.type_params retain their binder spelling; only canonicalize non-binder
heads. Ensure both lookup paths preserve impl<T> ... for T when an alias such as
Thing as T is in scope, and add a shadowing fixture covering this case.

In `@wado-compiler/tests/fixtures/aliased_impl_head.wado`:
- Around line 16-19: Add a trailing __DATA__ JSON expectation section to the
fixture after the test block, using the field names and structure defined by the
serde expectation structs in tests/e2e.rs so the harness records this conversion
regression.

A block's own type parameter shadows any import, so a head its
`type_params` bind is already a declaration name and must not be
resolved through the module's aliases.

The five copies of "the caller's resolved key, else the written name"
become one helper, and the receiver-target step folds into the impl-key
lookup it only ever fed. Drops the `_keyed` suffix where no unkeyed
sibling remains.
