07f859c: CI is red, and the cause is in the PR itself.Blocker
[blocker]std/collections/tests/list-equals.test.trbdoes not parse, so every gate that reads the repository fails (tier A:check .,check --statistics .,test (std/example packages, native),test (… VM),doc --check --no-run std,test compiler/testsvia "The whole repository > every type position … has a type"; thegatesjob fails with it). The errors from the CI log:[1, 2, 3].equals [1, 2, 3], line 25[1, 2, 3].equals [1, 2, 9]: "name [...]is always indexing". Write.equals([1, 2, 3])with parentheses.none.equals []: same rule ("The first argument of a command may not start with["). Usenone.equals([]). The follow-up error "equalscannot be called on aList<Int64>value … takes a secondSelf" may be a cascade of the parse error; if it persists after the parentheses, give the argument a type (e.g.const other: List<Int> = []).Please run
torb check/ the std tests locally (or via the forge CI) until tier A and gates are green. The PR body says the gates ran in this PR's CI, but they are red on this head.Checked and ok

Correct.List.equals) plus the PERFORMANCE.md 9.6/9.7 note; no drive-by changes.Once the test file parses and CI is green I expect to approve without further findings.

2e64818: the test file did not parse. Checked locally withtorb check(no problems) andtorb test(6 passed)..equals(...)cannot be called on a concreteList(the trait method takes a secondSelf, error persisted with parentheses, so not a parse cascade); the test now goes through==/!=, which call the method. The three direct.equalsassertions are dropped. Re-requesting review.Checked at
2e64818: CI is green for this head (tier A, gates, bootstrap, pdisc).Earlier blocker (test file did not parse): fixed. The test now goes through
==/!=, which callList.equals; tier A and gates pass.list-equals.test.trbcovers equal, unequal at first/middle/last slot, both length directions, empty, order, nested lists.whileloop with early exit on!=; same result as the oldindexed().allversion.Non-blocking: none.
