Recursion guard and static klammer checking A klammer that reaches itself, directly or through a cycle, expanded until the C++ stack was exhausted: the process died from SIGSEGV with no message and no location. The former limit guarded only the top-level fixed-point iteration, never the descent through klammer application. A depth guard now raises a recursion error naming the klammer and where it was applied. The same loop's termination test moves from "the katom list stopped growing" to "a pass applied no klammer", since a klammer whose body expands to nothing is a reduction that adds no katoms; exceeding the round limit is now an error rather than a message followed by rendering a document with live klammers still in it. ktext --check locates every klammer application written in a document or in a klammer body and checks name existence, argument count, option names, and target coverage without applying anything, reporting all problems at once. This is possible because Klammertext has no catcodes: katom structure is fixed when a file is read, so a klammer body has a determinate shape before it is expanded. The check therefore reaches what the engine cannot -- the branch of a @cond that is not selected, and bodies a given render never enters. @cond's set of truth values is an open language question, so its meaning is unchanged here; an unrecognized predicate now warns, giving its value and location. tst/ gains recursion_test.sh (7 cases) and check_test.sh (19 cases), and this snapshot's test Makefile is generated from the shipped suite list so the two cannot drift apart.

// Static checking of klammer applications.
//
// Klammertext can do something TeX structurally cannot: know the shape of a
// klammer body before that body is expanded. Katom structure is fixed when a
// file is read -- there are no catcodes, so no later assignment can change how
// text already read is divided into katoms -- which means every klammer
// application that appears literally in a document or in a klammer body can be
// located, named, and checked against the registry without running anything.
//
// This matters most where dynamic checking cannot reach. @cond is a
// non-strict special form: the branch it does not select is never applied, so
// an undefined klammer or a wrong argument count sitting in that branch is
// invisible at run time and stays invisible until the day the predicate flips.
// The same holds for a klammer body that is never applied for the target being
// built. The checker reports all of them.
//
// What it deliberately does NOT see: klammers produced by @eval (a generator's
// result is text computed at run time), and the contents of @eval and @read
// argument spans (code and filenames, not applications). Its guarantee is
// therefore about what is written, not about what will run.
//
// One thing it does not see that it SHOULD: a @cond written at the top level
// of a document is resolved when the file is read (process_cond_katoms() runs
// inside process_katoms()), so by the time anything can be checked the
// unselected branch has already been discarded. Inside a klammer body the
// @cond survives until the klammer is applied, so body branches ARE checked --
// which is where most of them are written. Closing the gap means resolving
// @cond at application time rather than at read time, which is part of the
// pass-ordering question; see notes/Klammertext_improvements.md.
