fmt: strip redundant same-precedence parens in binary chains and call args (B-1562) - #4489

Conversation
… args (B-1562) A fully parenthesized left-nested chain like ((((a != null) && b) && c) && d) printed as a staircase, one indent level per paren. The formatter now peels parens that are transparent (no comments touching them) when reparsing the output yields the printed tree: left operands of a binary op whose inner op shares the same precedence row, and parens wrapping an entire call argument. Mixed-precedence clarity parens ((a * b) + c), right-operand parens (a - (b - c)), and comment-bearing parens are kept.

…ML#4541) Fixes lots of extra parentheses in asserts Fixes some vm internal errors in the type checker Adds timeouts per test in baml-cli test so they dont run forever Fixes another issue where tests would hang. ## Issue Reference - Follow-up to BoundaryML#4489 (B-1562) for the formatter change; no filed issue for the MIR ICE. ## Changes Three independent changes, one commit each. ### 1. `fmt`: strip redundant parens around postfix receivers and unary operands BoundaryML#4489 peeled redundant parens in binary left operands and whole call arguments. A third context was left: parens wrapping the **receiver** of a postfix chain. `PrintChain::new` walks the `.`-spine to flatten a chain, and `Paren` is not a spine variant, so each paren terminated the walk and became a fresh `first` — one indent level per paren, the same staircase BoundaryML#4489 fixed for binary chains. ```baml // before assert.is_true( (pet_name == `Bella`) && !( ( ( (sections).map((item) -> { item.to_string() }) ) .join(` `) ) .includes(`Warning`) ), ) // after assert.is_true( (pet_name == `Bella`) && !sections .map((item) -> { item.to_string() }) .join(` `) .includes(`Warning`), ) ``` `UnaryExpr`'s operand had the same problem. Two predicates are added next to the existing `peel_transparent_parens`: - `binds_as_postfix_operand` — may this expression sit in a receiver/unary-operand position bare? Numeric and keyword literals are excluded (the `.` in `(1).to_string()` re-lexes as a float), object/map literals (a leading `{` reads as a block), and `GenericApply` (`<` reads as a comparison). - `effective_postfix_operand` — peels down to the last paren the position still needs, so a looser-binding receiver keeps exactly one instead of the whole stack: `((a + b)).f()` → `(a + b).f()`. Applied at every receiver site (`Call`/`Index`/`FieldAccess` and the three `Optional*` forms) in both the print and `single_line_width` paths, so fit decisions stay in sync with what is printed. ### 2. `fix(mir)`: widen inference error-recovery sentinels instead of ICEing A generic call in the scope of a `type T = unreflect(expr)` binding is deferred to a runtime gate, so inference never solves its own slots and finalizes them to an error-recovery sentinel. MIR lowering handed that straight to runtime lowering, which treats one as a compiler bug: ``` internal error: entered unreachable code: `Error` is not a valid `RuntimeTy`: an error-recovery type reached runtime lowering ``` Well-typed source crashed the compiler. Now widened to the top type at the two lowering sites that can see a sentinel, matching what the adjacent out-of-scope-type-variable case already does. A characterization corpus namespace covers the shape that ICEd. ### 3. `test(sdk)`: assert cancellation stops the run, not just the host wait Existing cancellation tests assert the call returns fast, which only proves the host stopped waiting — an orphaned continuation could still be walking the function and spending. The new arm marks entry, sleeps long enough to be aborted mid-flight, then performs a second observable step; the test waits out the full native sleep after cancelling and asserts the second marker never appears. ## Testing - [x] Unit tests added/updated — 8 new formatter regression tests (141 pass in `baml_fmt`); new `ns_runtime_type_binding_generic_calls` corpus namespace; new SDK cancellation arm covering task-cancel and asyncio-timeout - [x] Snapshot job — `cargo insta test --test-runner nextest -p baml_tests -p baml_cli -p baml_lsp2_actions --all-features --unreferenced=reject` → **no snapshots to review** - [x] General job — `cargo nextest run --all-features --workspace --exclude baml_tests --exclude baml_cli --exclude baml_lsp2_actions --exclude "sdk_test_*" --exclude baml_bridge` → 4416/4416 - [x] `cargo clippy -p baml_fmt --all-features --all-targets` clean; `cargo fmt` clean - [x] Manual testing performed — formatted a large downstream corpus and diffed old vs new formatter **Pre-existing failures, unrelated:** the three `baml_cli::exit_code_e2e generate_go_*` tests fail identically on `canary` with these commits stashed. ## Reviewer notes **The formatter change has a real trap, and the corpus caught it.** An earlier revision stripped parens that terminate an optional chain. Those are load-bearing, not decoration: they end the short-circuit region, so `(a?.b).c` evaluates `(null).c` — a TypeError — where `a?.b.c` short-circuits to null. The `null_handling` corpus snapshot documents exactly this and failed. `has_optional_chain_link` now walks the spine and refuses to peel; a `?.` **off** the spine (`f(a?.b).c`) is a separate chain and does not pin the parens. There is a regression test for both directions. Everything BoundaryML#4489 deliberately kept is still kept: mixed-precedence clarity parens, right operands, and any paren carrying a comment. **Formatter blast radius** — 587 `.baml` files across this repo and one large downstream corpus, old formatter vs new, both run over every file: - 24 files change, −1675 lines net - every change is paren/comma/layout only, verified by comparing token streams — no token added, moved, or lost - output is idempotent (second pass is a no-op on all 587) - compiler diagnostics over the downstream corpus are identical modulo line numbers - lines consisting solely of an open paren: 888 → 13, and all 13 survivors are legitimate (mixed-precedence clarity parens, lambda parameter lists, `if (…)`, `catch (…)`) Only one file in this repo changes: `("é").code_point_at(0)` → `"é".code_point_at(0)`. **Known gap in change 2**, documented on `inferred_ty_to_template`: the top type is right for a value slot but wrong for an effect one, where the defaulting rule is `never`. That yields a wrong answer for e.g. `xs.filter(…)` under such a binding rather than the crash it removes. Fixing it needs the callee's declared params at that site, or effect-position classification for user-written params in inference. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) <!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY --> --- > [!NOTE] > **High Risk** > Touches type inference, MIR lowering, parser recovery, diagnostic rendering, and engine shutdown/cancellation — correctness-sensitive compiler and runtime paths.

Changes
A fully parenthesized left-nested chain like
((((a != null) && b) && c) && d)printed as a staircase, one indent level per redundant paren. The formatter now strips parens whose removal provably round-trips:&&-in-&&,+/-mixes, etc.). Reparsing the output yields the printed tree, so the formatter stays idempotent. Chains then flatten via the existingget_chaining_memberslayout.f((x && y))becomesf(x && y); the call's parens already delimit the argument.Deliberately kept:
(a * b) + c,(a && b) || c,(x != null) && y.a - (b - c),a && (b && c).spawncall arguments, which would otherwise flipis_huggablebetween passes and break idempotency.Blast radius across the repo's 1788
