**A single vocabulary for "receiver R has fact F, valid until boundary B"** (#9254
phase 1). Codegen carries sixteen receiver-keyed fact tables on `FnCtx` —
`cached_lengths`, `bounded_index_pairs`, `packed_f64_loop_facts`,
`masked_window_array_facts`, `buffer_view_slots`, `int_range_facts` and ten more.
Each answers the same two questions (what do we know about this receiver, and how
long may we believe it), and each answers the second one differently: a
`retain(|f| f.scope_id != id)` at scope exit, an insert/remove pair with no
identifier, a mutable field downgraded in place and never removed, or a reload at
the safepoint instead of an invalidation.

A fifth boundary — the **unwind edge** — is expressed by none of them. `lower_try`
clears no fact table. Unwind safety is obtained today by six unrelated means: the
packed matcher rejecting `Stmt::Try` outright, a body shape that cannot contain
one, a post-hoc `contains_gc_unsafe_call` scan, a single `try_depth == 0` gate in
`versioned_indexed_loop`, a dirty bit stored before every call, and a storage kind
that simply never moves. Every one is a local decision by one tier, and a tier
added tomorrow inherits none of them.

This adds the model — `RegionEnder` (what ends a no-relocation region),
`FactBoundary` (how a table expresses extent), `ReceiverClaim` (value vs
representation vs address, the axis that decides whether a boundary is
load-bearing at all) and `boundary_admits`, the algebra in one place. **It emits
no IR and no lowering path consults it**; the `#![allow(dead_code)]` at the top of
the module is the marker for that, matching the #854 subgraphs in `hir_facts`, and
the whole thing is revertible by deleting the file.

Correct the rollback statement.

Deleting receiver_regions.rs alone leaves mod receiver_regions; in crates/perry-codegen/src/collectors/mod.rs, Line [46], and causes compilation to fail. State that the module declaration must also be removed, or remove this claim.

Proposed wording
- the whole thing is revertible by deleting the file.
+ the whole thing is revertible by removing the file and its module declaration.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

In `@changelog.d/9257-receiver-region-model.md` around lines 23 - 25, Correct the
rollback statement to note that removing receiver_regions.rs also requires
removing the mod receiver_regions declaration in collectors/mod.rs;
alternatively, remove the claim that deleting only the file fully reverts the
change.


The load-bearing artifact is the equivalence lint, which holds the model against
`loop_purity::loop_may_allocate` — shipping and audited — on a shared battery,
asserting the direction with teeth: *if the model finds no relocation point, then
`loop_may_allocate` must also have proven the body alloc-free.* The converse is
deliberately not asserted, since `loop_may_allocate` answers `true` for any
statement it does not model (`Return`, `Switch`), which is imprecision rather than
a collection point.

That lint paid for itself before this landed. Written the obvious way — enumerate
the enders, default to safe — the model passed every hand-written test and failed
the battery on three entries: a generic `IndexGet`/`PropertyGet` can reach an
accessor or a proxy trap, `Expr::Closure` allocates, and `is_inert` belongs on the
whole coercing node rather than per operand (the #6975 hole one abstraction up).
Inverting the match to an allowlist with an `Unmodelled` catch-all closes that
class: adding an HIR variant can no longer silently widen a region.

Note one deliberate divergence from `collectors::safepoint_sites`, which does not
count property reads — over-counting reads would over-spill a read-heavy loop, and
its consumer only needs a spill estimate. A region model has the opposite
obligation: missing one licenses a stale cached address.

All sixteen tables are also transcribed as test data with their declaration sites,
pinning the exact set whose unwind safety is *external to its stated boundary*:
`stable_packed_loop_facts` (emergent — `stmt_flags` has a `_ => {}` arm, so
`Stmt::Try` is invisible to its admission scan) plus the three immutable-fact
tables that lean on non-movable storage. A flag there is not a bug report; it says
the safety comes from somewhere the boundary vocabulary cannot express, which is
what phase 2 has to fix, and pinning the set is how phase 2 proves it closed one.
