Consolidate on one authoritative execution path

Summary#

Several merged PRs show the cost of keeping legacy lowering or emission paths alive alongside newer infrastructure. When two implementations encode the same behavior, bugs, performance drift, and rollout hesitation accumulate; the durable approach is to route more cases through the newer path, measure regressions explicitly, and remove transitional switches once confidence is high.

Problem#

Parallel implementations for the same compiler/runtime behavior diverge over time, making correctness fixes, performance tuning, and feature rollout harder.

Solution#

Adopt a single canonical abstraction or emitter, migrate edge cases into it with benchmark evidence, and delete obsolete analysis layers or debug flags after the replacement proves viable.

Failure Modes#

Keeping feature flags or fallback paths indefinitely so dead code continues to rot
Migrating without perf measurements and accidentally materializing larger intermediates or adding latency
Porting only common cases and leaving special roots or fusion types on the old path
