Chris Tate e81e4f5ab5 Ambient roots trap whole chains; dead and nullish generic bindings lower to their runtime truth
- ambientUndefVarRootOf walks calls, `new`, optional chains, assertions, instantiation expressions, and tagged templates, and accepts `declare function` and trap-binding roots: Node erases the declaration, so the root read IS the crash — lowerCall, member reads, assignments, and variable declarations lower the whole statement to the catchable ReferenceError, arguments never evaluate, and the never-initialized binding registers as a trap whose references can never run
- never-read unmappable bindings with value-only initializers and writes emit nothing: Node builds the value and drops it, so `var xs2: typeof Array;` and the write-only `var f2: { <T, U>(x: T, y: U): T }` compile instead of fencing on a type the program never consumes
- null!/as-any bindings whose types keep generic signatures (or intern empty record shapes) register no storage; generic-method calls and member reads through them compile to Node's exact TypeError, nullish-to-nullish flows to nothing, heritage-clause uses decline the family so mixin resolution keeps its fence, and checked-dynamic (`any`) bindings keep their dyn story untouched
- assertion-shaped generic arrows (`< <T>(x: T) => T >((x) => x)`) register like annotated bindings and monomorphize per call; stdlib generic members (Promise.then, Object.defineProperty) take the SC2020 lib fence, and Function.prototype.apply/call/bind on compiled function values name the direct-call spelling
- diagnostics fixtures that used `declare` to conjure unconstructible values now conjure them by cast so each fence family keeps its pin; snapshots re-recorded, the deferred checker-panic diagnostic now flushes at its first reference as designed

// SC2007: values of overloaded function type — a compiled function VALUE is
// one concrete signature. Calls of overloaded declarations resolve per call
// site; it is the value position that fences.

function pick(x: "b"): number;

// An overloaded TYPE LITERAL slot fences the same way. The value arrives
// through a cast, not an ambient declare (a declare-rooted chain would
// compile to Node's ReferenceError at the root instead).
