- typed variables such as `SET score NUMBER 10`
- `TYPE OF` and `CHECK TYPE`
- typed list/map checks through `claro typecheck`
- a narrow function/method argument check: `CHECK TYPE parameter IS TYPE` inside a function or simple object method lets `claro typecheck` accept correct checked calls, catch mismatched `DO`, `CALL ... WITH`, and `DO object.method ...` arguments, report missing checked function and method arguments, explain when `DO object.method ...` or compatibility `CALL object.method WITH ...` happens before the object is created with `NEW` even if the method name is also wrong, and catch simple calls to undeclared methods with a class-specific `TEACH` hint

- a narrow object-field assignment/check-type check for simple `NEW Class object` plus direct `SET object.field value` and `CHECK TYPE object.field IS TYPE` cases when the class declares `HAS field TYPE`; validation now covers correct NUMBER, TEXT, and YESNO direct assignments, direct `CHECK TYPE` metadata acceptance for NUMBER/TEXT/YESNO fields, negative NUMBER/TEXT/YESNO field `CHECK TYPE` metadata mismatches, NUMBER/TEXT/YESNO-expectation unknown-field `CHECK TYPE` diagnostics, missing-object field assignment and `CHECK TYPE` diagnostics, NUMBER/TEXT/YESNO wrong-type diagnostics, NUMBER/TEXT/YESNO-valued unknown-field diagnostics for direct assignments to undeclared fields, plus a plain beginner-facing unknown-field diagnostic when the assigned expression type is not inferable yet

1. Keep beginner-facing docs current and separate from historical release notes.
2. Keep examples aligned with the modern simple syntax (`END`, `DO`, short `SET`, short `ASK`) while documenting older compatibility forms separately.
3. Expand validation around typecheck diagnostics and package/networking safety. Current Forgejo/Gitea CI runs the documented release gates (`claro validate`, typecheck diagnostics validation, version convention validation, and CI workflow coverage validation). Current package safety validation covers safe manifest/lockfile creation, rejecting unsafe package names during `package add`, detecting unsafe package names already present in `claro.project` during `package doctor`, refusing to write lockfile data for unsafe package names during `package lock`, and making `package remove` fail instead of reporting success when unsafe package names remain during lockfile refresh. Current function validation covers correct checked calls, wrong-type arguments, and a missing checked-argument diagnostic; current object-method parameter validation covers one correct `DO object.method ...` call, one wrong-type diagnostic, a missing checked-argument diagnostic, missing-object guidance when `DO player.method ...` or compatibility `CALL object.method WITH ...` appears before `NEW` even if the method name is also wrong, and a class-specific unknown-method diagnostic when a learner calls a method the class does not declare; object-field validation covers correct NUMBER, TEXT, and YESNO direct `SET object.field value` assignments, direct `CHECK TYPE` metadata acceptance for NUMBER/TEXT/YESNO fields, negative NUMBER/TEXT/YESNO metadata mismatches, NUMBER/TEXT/YESNO-expectation unknown-field `CHECK TYPE` diagnostics, missing-object field assignment and `CHECK TYPE` diagnostics, NUMBER/TEXT/YESNO wrong-type direct assignments, simple NUMBER/TEXT/YESNO-valued unknown-field diagnostics after `NEW Class object`, and a beginner-facing fallback when the unknown field's assigned expression type is not inferable yet.

4. Add small examples for each foundation feature before adding bigger syntax.
