Keep a compiled package's types identical through interface dispatch

[antoniosarosi]

A class you get out of reflect.Package.compile used to lose its identity the moment it
crossed an interface method. #4516 fixed this for classes made with reflect.class.new;
compiled packages were left out, and the PR said so. This finishes the job.

What you get now

1. A compiled package's class is still itself inside an impl.

interface Probe<Out> {
    function same(self, t: type) -> bool throws never
}

class Holder<T> {
    function new() -> Holder<T> throws never { Holder {} }

    implements Probe<T> {
        function same(self, t: type) -> bool throws never { type.of<T>() == t }
    }
}

function main() -> bool throws unknown {
    let pkg = reflect.Package.compile({ "items.baml": #"
class Item { value string }
      "# })
    let item = (pkg.get_class("root.Item") ?? throw "missing Item").as_type()
    type Item = unreflect(item)

    Holder<Item>.new().same(item)
    // before: false — the impl body saw a type that described `Item` but was
    //         not the value you passed in
    // now:    true
}

That false was the silent kind. The type printed the same, parsed the same and reflected
the same — it just missed every lookup keyed by type, so a registry came back empty and a
comparison against a stored type went the wrong way with no error anywhere.

2. Two packages that both declare Item each keep their own.

let first  = reflect.Package.compile({ "a.baml": #"class Item { value string }"# })
let second = reflect.Package.compile({ "b.baml": #"class Item { value string }"# })
let a = (first.get_class("root.Item")  ?? throw "missing A").as_type()
let b = (second.get_class("root.Item") ?? throw "missing B").as_type()
type A = unreflect(a)
type B = unreflect(b)

let holder = Holder<B>.new()
holder.same(b)   // before: false      now: true
holder.same(a)   // false, before and after — B's holder never answers for A's Item

Before this PR neither question could be answered at all, because both packages spell their
class Item and nothing downstream could tell them apart. Answering the second one true
would have been worse than answering nothing, which is why #4516 declined both.

3. A statically declared Item is untouched, including when a compiled package's Item
is in scope right next to it. That was already correct and stays correct.

Three wrong answers that came out of the same cause

One name for several different classes did not only cost identity. Three things downstream
read a class by its name, and each of them quietly answered with the wrong class.

A runtime type test matched another package's class.

let first  = reflect.Package.compile({ "a.baml": #"
class Item { value string }
function Make() -> Item { Item { value: "a" } }
  "# })
let second = reflect.Package.compile({ "b.baml": #"class Item { value string }"# })
type First  = unreflect((first.get_class("root.Item")  ?? throw "missing A").as_type())
type Second = unreflect((second.get_class("root.Item") ?? throw "missing B").as_type())

let make = first.get_function<() -> First>("root.Make") ?? throw "missing root.Make"
let value: unknown = make()

value is First    // true, before and after
value is Second   // before: true  — a value the second package never made
                  // now:    false

Nothing reported an error. The if value is Second { … } branch simply ran on a value it was
never given.

ctx.output_format described the wrong class. The schema an LLM call sends is assembled
from the definitions in scope, keyed by name, so the first Item to arrive answered for
every later one:

let first  = reflect.Package.compile({ "a.baml": #"class Item { alpha string, next Item? }"# })
let second = reflect.Package.compile({ "b.baml": #"class Item { beta int, next Item? }"# })
type First  = unreflect((first.get_class("root.Item")  ?? throw "missing A").as_type())
type Second = unreflect((second.get_class("root.Item") ?? throw "missing B").as_type())

Render$render_prompt<Second[]>()
// before: Item { alpha: string, next: Item or null }   ← the FIRST package's fields
// now:    Item { beta: int, next: Item or null }

The model was being asked for a shape the caller never declared, and the answer it gave back
then failed to parse — for a reason nothing in the program pointed at.

baml.json could not decode into a compiled package's class at all.

let pkg = reflect.Package.compile({ "items.baml": #"class Item { value string, count int }"# })
type Item = unreflect((pkg.get_class("root.Item") ?? throw "missing Item").as_type())

baml.json.from_string<Item>(#"{"value": "ok", "count": 2}"#)
// before: JsonDecodeError — class `user.Item` not found
// now:    an Item

The decoder looks a class up by name against the program's own declarations, where a
compiled package's Item was not — and the name it did find, or did not, had nothing to do
with the package the caller meant.

How

Every compiled package used to name its classes exactly the way your own .baml files name
theirs, so at runtime one package's Item, another's Item, and a static Item were three
different types under one name. When a package is loaded, its own declarations now get an
internal name that is unique to that package. Nothing else changes: the name that resolves
your code, the name pkg.get_class("root.Item") takes, and the name every dependency links
against are all still the plain one.

What you see is unchanged

The internal name is an identity token, never a spelling. Every surface that renders a type
name strips it back out and shows the name the source wrote, so a compiled package's Item
prints exactly what it printed before:

item.to_string()   // "Item"
item.to_baml()     // "class Item {\n  value string\n}"

The same holds for describe, hover and completions, compiler diagnostics that mention the
class, the schema ctx.output_format builds, baml.json decode errors, the coercion errors
an LLM's output can produce, execution traces, and the class_name a host SDK (Python,
TypeScript, Go, Java) reads off a returned value. Where a surface printed a package-qualified
name before, it still prints user.Item — byte for byte what a plain declaration printed.

This also fixes the same leak for reflect.class.new classes. Those have carried a
unique internal name since they were introduced, and four surfaces were showing it:

surface	before	now
LLM-output coercion error	Expected user.$dyn.0.Item, got …	Expected user.Item, got …
baml.json decode error	expected JSON object for class `user.$dyn.0.Item`	expected JSON object for class `user.Item`
diagnostic from a runtime compile	expected `int`, found `root.$dyn.0.Item`	expected `int`, found `Item`
class_name at the host boundary	user.$dyn.0.Item	user.Item

The number in those names was a per-process counter that changed run to run, so nothing could
have been depending on it. Masking it is a bugfix, not a break.

Notes

• Renaming had to be all-or-nothing. A first attempt renamed only the class objects and
  left the compiled code that mentions them alone. The two spellings then disagreed in three
  separate places: the package's own type.of<Item>() stopped matching, an interface stopped
  resolving, and get_function rejected a signature that matched perfectly. So the rename
  covers everything the package was compiled into — field types, method signatures,
  interface declarations, impl rules, type aliases — in one pass.

• One honest behavior change. If a package declares its own Item and imports a
  dependency that also exports an Item, those were one name to the runtime before, and
  both resolved to the package's own class. They still resolve the same way, but a type
  value for one no longer tests equal to a type value for the other. They were never the
  same type; the old answer was an accident of them sharing a name.

• Sessions are unchanged. Declarations you make inside a Session still don't carry
  their identity across an interface method — the same limitation as before, not a new one.
  A Session re-loads its whole history on every submission, so giving its declarations a
  per-package name first needs an answer to what a declaration's identity means across
  submissions. That is a separate question.

• Derived types are unchanged. t.array(), t.optional() and type.meta(...) still
  produce a fresh type on every evaluation and still don't survive an interface method.
  That was ratified deliberately and this PR does not touch it.

• Nothing about a statically compiled program changes. The rename runs only when a
  runtime package is loaded.

Tests

The two tests #4516 wrote to pin the gap now pin the fix instead: the one that recorded
"definitions survive but identity does not" asserts identity survives, and the one that
recorded two packages declining to answer asserts each answers with its own and refuses the
other's. Its sibling — a static class that must not be answered from a runtime one of the
same name — is unchanged and still green.

New, for the three wrong answers above: a runtime type test that must not match a foreign
package's class, and an ctx.output_format schema that must describe each package's own
fields.

New, for rendering: every surface that moved is pinned for both origins that mint —
Package.compile and reflect.class.new — with the exact spelling asserted, plus a blanket
"no internal name anywhere in the output":

• the coercion error schema-aligned parsing produces (Expected user.Item, …);
• the baml.json decode error (expected JSON object for class `user.Item` ), which also
  pins that a compiled package's class resolves at all;
• the class_name on the instance a host receives (user.Item);
• a diagnostic from a runtime compile that has to name a mounted minted class (Item);
• and the earlier four-way pin on to_string, to_baml, the ctx.output_format schema and
  a contract diagnostic.

Plus unit tests that a minted name renders identically to the plain name it was minted from,
that the rename reaches a class mentioned inside its own field type, leaves an imported class
at its owner's name, leaves a dependency's type alone, and gives two packages two distinct
names for the same declaration.

2380-2392: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Give LocalName the type_values key method instead of rebuilding the join here.

This dotted join now exists in three places that must agree exactly, and two of them are in a different crate:

• bex_vm/src/vm.rs lines 2385-2391 (this site, reading type_values)
• bex_vm/src/package_baml/reflect.rs lines 144-151, runtime_type_key (writing type_values)
• bex_vm/src/package_baml/reflect.rs lines 437-443, package_function_value

The reader and the writer of type_values are the same key format expressed twice. If either drifts, the lookup misses silently and current_runtime_declaration_type falls back to re-deriving a static mint, which is the exact identity bug this PR fixes. Put the method on LocalName in bex_vm_types and call it from all three sites.

♻️ Proposed refactor

Add to bex_vm_types/src/types/package.rs:

impl LocalName {
    /// The dotted `namespace.name` spelling used as the `RuntimePackage::type_values` key.
    #[must_use]
    pub fn dotted(&self) -> String {
        self.namespace
            .iter()
            .map(Name::as_str)
            .chain(std::iter::once(self.name.as_str()))
            .collect::<Vec<_>>()
            .join(".")
    }
}

Then at this site:

         let runtime = package.runtime.as_ref()?;
         let local = runtime.source_local_name(name)?;
-        let key = local
-            .namespace
-            .iter()
-            .map(baml_type::Name::as_str)
-            .chain(std::iter::once(local.name.as_str()))
-            .collect::<Vec<_>>()
-            .join(".");
-        let ptr = runtime.type_values.get(&key).copied()?;
+        let ptr = runtime.type_values.get(&local.dotted()).copied()?;

And in reflect.rs:

-fn runtime_type_key(name: &LocalName) -> String {
-    name.namespace
-        .iter()
-        .map(baml_type::Name::as_str)
-        .chain(std::iter::once(name.name.as_str()))
-        .collect::<Vec<_>>()
-        .join(".")
-}
+fn runtime_type_key(name: &LocalName) -> String {
+    name.dotted()
+}

295-473: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a test for the enum and interface declaration kinds.

rename_package_declarations treats the three declaration kinds differently: it renames interfaces but excludes them from the returned minted vector (lines 87-89), while classes and enums are both renamed and returned. bex_vm/src/package_baml/reflect.rs feeds that vector straight into register_class, so the exclusion is load-bearing. All four current tests use a single class fixture, so neither the enum path nor the interface exclusion has coverage.

🧪 Proposed test

    /// An interface is re-spelled with the package, but never reported for
    /// engine-wide class registration; an enum is reported alongside classes.

        let mut program = program_with_interface_and_enum();
        let owned = HashSet::from([0usize, 1usize]);
        let minted = rename_package_declarations(&mut program, &Name::new("user"), &owned, 7);

        // Only the enum is handed back for `register_class`.
        assert_eq!(minted.len(), 1);
        assert_eq!(minted[0].1, ObjectIndex::from_raw(1));

Correct the caller-scope statement. PackageIndex::object_by_name also passes reflection names such as symbol.fq_name and "testing.TestCollector.new", not only baml.* paths. Describe this helper as valid for static FQNs. Keep the mint-aware lookup guidance for runtime packages.

Update the documentation for PackageIndex::object_by_name to state that it is
valid for static fully qualified names, including reflection names such as
symbol.fq_name and testing.TestCollector.new, rather than claiming callers only
use hardcoded baml.* paths. Preserve the guidance to use BexVm::lookup_type for
names originating from runtime-compiled packages.

Resolve runtime-minted class names before schema validation.

type_name_matches_external_name accepts the source spelling, but the class lookup uses that spelling against canonical resolved_class_names and returns Ok(()) when it fails. This skips all runtime-minted class field checks. Resolve through the expected TypeName or add a source-spelling alias, and add a regression test with an invalid field value.
