Bend 2.0.25

• A literal is a Nat or String by name only where the datatype is
  Base's: a file that declares its own Nat checks a literal
  structurally again, so type Nat: Succ{e: Empty} no longer admits 1n
  and a closed Empty (#941). An array count past the nat cap is refused
  instead of making a fractional literal that defeats termination (#954).
• A wide record compiles: any field list past 255 words has its
  multi-word fields boxed, for constructor layouts, nodes and def
  signatures alike, so a 512-word record no longer dies "an arity over
  255" (#944). A recursive datatype hidden behind a type family is boxed
  instead of overflowing the compiler (#959). A datatype named
  __proto__, constructor or toString compiles (#948). Still open: a
  join holding several wide results, or a wide value held across a
  non-tail call, is refused with the same message.
• An annotated lambda or match applied where it stands compiles on both
  lanes, as its let-bound form did (#956).
• A read parked on a FIFO sees its end on macOS (#928, PR #932 by
  PedroVIOliv): both IO loops wait with select, since Darwin's poll
  never reports a named pipe's close.
• A foreign effect's scheduling helper cannot be overwritten by an
  effect named X_need, in either discovery order (#946, PR #951 by
  tachytelicdetonation).
• A generated C local carries a _ prefix (PR #926 by nood-co1), so a
  host macro such as macOS's ts_32 cannot capture it; emitted C grows by
  1 to 5 %.
• The Node and Bun loaders report unsafe and foreign dependencies on
  stderr, as the CLI does (PR #933 by vicmcorrea), and two books compiled in
  one process no longer share layout memos (PR #961 by vicmcorrea).
• Simpler compiler and effects, same output: the layout packer assigns
  offsets once (PR #945 by tachytelicdetonation), the array intrinsics share
  one cell path (PR #955 by PedroVIOliv), the facts fixpoint compares set
  sizes (PR #960 by byronbenharris), the JS emitter keeps one descriptor per
  native constructor (PR #952 by ramonzx6), one BEND_RTC macro serves the
  device compilers (PR #963 by costamatheus97), and the file and audio
  effects share one source each (PRs #950 and #939 by tachytelicdetonation
  and tontontimiro).
