- The ratified rename rider (world-unification §7 lane 5): "DOM" collided with the browser DOM and, post-lane-1, the structure is no longer a document tree. Comments and doc prose now say "the checked-dynamic tree" for the noun and "dyn" adjectivally; runtime symbol names (scr_dyn_*), the error.domClone libCall, and the real web DOMException family are unchanged.
- The few user-facing strings carrying the nickname move with it (the structuredClone cyclic message, the dc subscriber/publish fences, two emitter ICE texts); diagnostics snapshots regenerated (96 pass). One private compiler constant (DOM_PROTO_METHOD_NAMES -> DYN_PROTO_METHOD_NAMES) rides along.
- Mechanical sweep, 142 files, comments/prose only — no behavior change.
- mapType: a union with an 'object'/'unknown'/'{}'-flavored (dyn) arm beside only dyn-subsumable siblings — scalars, units, dynFrom-convertible records/arrays — maps to DYN wholesale; class/Map/Set/func/promise/regex arms keep their typed homes, and the SC2009 classifier now names the sibling that cannot ride the collapse instead of blaming the dyn arm.
- A dyn ELEMENT makes the whole array the DOM value (unknown[], object[], the plugins-slot (string | object)[]): the DOM array literal builds from TS annotations, .length on collapsed-array receivers is a DOM keyed read, element writes ride dyn.keySet (ARR index set/extend with undefined-hole padding), and for-of over dyn gets a pointed operation fence instead of the stale component story.
- Appendix-A repro 4 stops SC2009-fencing: an island plugins array wraps at the collapsed slot (dynFromJsval) and the element read reaches the loud keyed-read ladder until the routing lane arms it (dyncheck pin jsval-collapsed-union-slot).
- Corpus 2584/2585 differential both backends (guard ladder, option tables, unknown[] first-class; SAN clean); json-dyn snapshot repinned where the unknown[] declaration fence retires; conformance movers verified locally: discriminateObjectTypesOnly, unknownPropertiesAreAssignableToObjectUnion, unknownLikeUnionObjectFlagsNotPropagated.
- SEMANTICS 398 documents the collapse rule, the exact subsumable-arm domain, and the width/identity consequences (deep-copy entry, full-width JSON, per-site fences for non-subsumable values).
