Two cases claimed to pin that a category or folder named with the reference
prefix is rejected. They passed for the wrong reason: the entry is skipped as
hidden, which left the directory empty, so New failed with "no .json data
found" instead. Beside a valid sibling both load fine and are simply absent.
Replaced with a test of the real rule — a leading dot means hidden, which is
what lets a data directory be a checkout — and that covers a ".." name too.

The dedup now runs after the per-arm loop, so a missing reference path or a
missing field is reported as itself. A repeated reference arm is still
caught: the loop lets a well-formed reference through without erroring, and
the dedup reads the arms as written.

{..|..} reported a repeated arm rather than a reference with no path, and
{|} reported one rather than a missing field. Both are load errors either
way, but the repeat is a consequence of the real mistake, so the real one
should be what the author reads.

checkBoundLevelsHeld already performed the right walk; it iterated the wrong
set. Walking t.held covers both kinds of hold — the level a dotted token
reads and the sibling a calc reads — so the guarantee the README states now
holds for every spelling of the operand, not just the bare one.
The path message is unchanged. A calc-only head gets its own, naming the
sibling spelling that reads the held draw.

A {calc()} operand is drawn once and held, but only a dotted token's level was
fenced against a second route to it. A {..path} naming the same field renders
it afresh, so the value shown is not the value computed — 47 of 60 renders
disagreed on a five-value operand.

The Computation section carried the caveat this branch removes — that a field
shown and used in a calc is drawn twice — so it now describes the hold
instead. The name rules name all four reserved characters rather than the
dot alone, in both the Data and Data format sections, and the alternation
entry says a repeated arm is a load error and points at weight.

A field the format rendered and a calc read was drawn twice, so the operand
shown could differ from the operand computed — the same disagreement the
dotted-path rule already fences, in its plainest spelling. The README
carried it as a caveat, which is what a rule like this exists to remove.
A calc operand now joins the names an expansion holds, so it is drawn once
and every later read of it — the calc, and any bare token spelling it —
sees that draw. The hold stays per expansion: each repeat iteration and each
nested template draws its own.
expand reads a calc's operands before the call and hands over their values,
so a builtin takes (emitted, operands) rather than the sibling fields, and
the evaluator indexes that slice instead of walking the node tree. That is
what keeps the draws a local. Handing them to a builtin instead lets them
escape through an indirect call, which put two maps on the heap for every
held format, calc or not: BenchmarkBound went 56 B/5 allocs -> 744 B/10.
Measured against main: Bound 359 -> 349 ns at 56 B/5 allocs, unchanged;
Calc 416 -> 577 ns and one more alloc, which is what the correlation costs.
Validation is unchanged: t.bound still carries only the levels a dotted
token reads, so the overlap fences fence exactly what they did.

A field the format renders and a calc reads is drawn twice today, so
"{net} x {qty} = {calc(net * qty, 2)}" can print a net that is not the net
it multiplied. The dotted-path rule already holds one draw for a level;
these pin the same hold for a plain sibling a calc reads.
Also pinned: the hold reaches a bare token of the same name, belongs to one
expansion (each repeat iteration and each nested template draws its own),
and leaves a name no calc reads drawing every time.

An alternation picks its arms evenly, so {a|a|b} was a covert 3:1 skew — a
third spelling of what a choice's weight is for, reachable only by
experiment. The check runs over the arms as written, before a reference arm
is let through, so {..a|..a} is caught too.

{a|a|b} skews an alternation three to one, an undocumented third way to
weight beside a choice's weight and a repeated choice entry. These pin its
rejection, and one accepted case fixes the boundary: {x}{x} is two tokens,
so it stays two independent draws.

The dot rule was spelled twice — once for a category or folder, once for a
field — and covered only the dot. Both now go through checkName, which
rejects the four characters no format can name: . | ( and }.
')' stays legal: on its own it is spellable, and rejecting it would refuse a
name that works.

A dot is already rejected in a category, folder or field name. The token
grammar reserves three more characters: '|' separates a token's arms, '('
opens a function call, and '}' ends the token. A name carrying one resolves
by dot path and is advertised by List, yet no format can name it.
These pin the rejection, and one accepted case fixes the boundary: ')' on
its own is spellable, so it stays legal.

A builtin could be spelled as prep (args parsed once, at compile) or call
(args parsed per render), reaching the same closure by two routes. Nothing
enforced the "exactly one of" invariant: supplying both silently dropped
call, supplying neither compiled and then panicked inside a render, and a
test existed only to police it.
prep does everything call did, so it is now the one spelling. The zero-arg
shapes the README already names — a derivation reads the output emitted so
far, a generator reads only the rng — lift through derive and generate, so
the registry reads as that taxonomy. iban stops looking its country up per
render.

authored and named differed only in whether a "..path" binding was skipped,
which made two spellings of one question: what does this node contain? They
could never disagree — loadDir rejects a category or folder carrying the
prefix, so a group's children are never bindings, and TestReferenceErrors
pins both rejections.
