CI has failed since the embed merge (2026-10-25):
- Linux: bootstrap/build.sh asks llvm-config for the folder with clang-c/Index.h
- macOS: FINCH_LIBCLANG's -L folders also go to the compiler's own link "clang"
- Windows: the language server turns file:///C:/x into C:/x and back (diagnostics went to /C:/x);
the -g tests compare without \r; shared.sh (dlopen, -rdynamic) is not run there

Windows: the compiler made from bootstrap/windows-x86_64.ll runs under Wine, compiles itself to the same IR, builds an
exe of itself, and every test program passes through it. It needed: Windows-sized unsigned long for libclang's unsaved
file, no 'cross' when Windows builds for Windows, --target passed to libclang (libclang.dll assumes MSVC), the MinGW
triple always in the IR, FINCH_LDFLAGS, .exe names and FINCH_LLVM_INCLUDE in bootstrap/build.sh, winseed.sh/winbuild.sh.
macOS: seeds for arm64 and x86-64 made with the 11.3 SDK; IR is accepted by clang, nothing has run on a Mac yet.
CI gets a windows and a macos job. UNTESTED on real Windows/macOS runners.

src/embedded.fch (made by tools/pack.fch, checked by tests/run.sh) holds runtime/finch_rt.c and std/; when they aren't
beside the binary they're written to the cache folder once. All the sh/cmd specifics of the driver (quoting, temp dir,
mkdir, rm, mv, null device, path separator, cache dir, binary stdio) moved into host.fch / host_windows.fch.

boot/ is src/ now. The C++ compiler and CMake are gone from this branch (they are on before-bootstrap).
bootstrap/build.sh builds the compiler from bootstrap/<system>.ll -- the compiler's own LLVM IR -- then builds
it with itself and checks the two come out identical. bootstrap/build.sh seed writes the seed anew.
The driver is complete: the runtime is compiled once and kept in ~/.cache/finch; a program's own C files,
.o and .a files and frameworks link along; a linker failure is read and answered with link "lib" or the
library that is missing. The old tests/fail diagnostics are all in again (a missing import, a str compared with
null, 'write just the library's name', a map key that is a float, non-ASCII names, ...).
tests/run.sh is the one test runner: programs, refusals, -g builds and the shared library. 106 passed.
