Tests are currently failing since right now we only restrict returning shielded addresses and integers.

This fixes veridise issue 759.

Moved the check from DeclarationTypeChecker to TypeChecker because with the new semantic
we need to recursively check all child AST nodes (members of structs for example).
Keeping the check in DeclarationTypeChecker was throwing some assert errors on some children nodes
that haven't been previously been type checked themselves.

Having the check done in TypeChecker also feels more natural anyways, since its checking for
return types and there was already a function named checkArgumentAndReturnParameter.
4 of the tests were relying on returning shielded types, which now need to be modified to unshield the types before returning them from public functions.
Add failing tests that document the incomplete literal assignment warning
for shielded types identified in the Veridise audit report.

New test files demonstrating missing warnings:
- warn_shielded_literal_struct.sol: Named struct field initialization
- warn_shielded_literal_struct_positional.sol: Positional struct init
- warn_shielded_literal_multiple_args.sol: Multiple arguments in struct
- warn_shielded_fixedbytes_literal.sol: Direct sbytes literal conversion
- warn_shielded_fixedbytes_literal_struct.sol: sbytes in struct

These tests initially fail, documenting the gaps:
1. Only first argument checked (not all arguments)
2. Struct constructors not checked at all
3. ShieldedFixedBytes type not checked

Updated existing sbytes tests to expect new warnings:
- sbytes_explicit_conversions.sol
- sbytes_implicit_conversions_fail.sol
- sbytes_operations.sol
- sbytes_size_conversions.sol
- sbytes_struct.sol

After the fix, all these tests will pass with proper warnings emitted.
Fix the incomplete literal assignment warning for shielded types as
identified in the Veridise audit report.

The original implementation only checked the first argument and missed:
- Literals in non-first positions
- Literals inside struct constructors
- ShieldedFixedBytes type entirely

Changes:
- Refactored warning logic into two clear functions:
  * checkLiteralToShielded() - Core warning check (replaces inline code)
  * checkShieldedLiteralWarning() - Recursive dispatcher for complex cases

- Extended coverage to all 4 shielded types:
  * ShieldedBool ✓
  * ShieldedAddress ✓
  * ShieldedInteger ✓
  * ShieldedFixedBytes ✓ (NEW)

- Now checks ALL arguments, not just the first
- Recursively handles struct constructors (named and positional)
- Cleaner code structure for auditor review

All 3,709 syntax tests pass with no regressions.
This test demonstrates the bug where ArrayUtils::clearArray uses
hardcoded SSTORE instead of CSTORE for small shielded arrays.

The test shows that deleting shielded arrays like suint256[3] or
saddress[4] incorrectly generates SSTORE instructions in the
unrolled loop optimization path.

This will be fixed in the next commit.
The original fix in commit 5c75476 addressed GenericStorageItem::setToZero,
but ArrayUtils::clearArray had an optimization path that bypassed it.

For small fixed-size arrays (storageSize <= 5), clearArray uses an unrolled
loop that directly emits store instructions. This code path was using
hardcoded SSTORE without checking if the base type is shielded.

This meant that operations like `delete suint256[3]` would incorrectly
use SSTORE instead of CSTORE, leaking private data to public storage.

The fix checks if the array's base type is shielded and uses CSTORE
for shielded types, SSTORE for non-shielded types.

Affected code path:
- ArrayUtils::clearArray lines 568-578 (unrolled loop for small arrays)

Other code paths correctly use StorageItem::setToZero which handles
shielded types properly after the original fix.

Add tests to verify that copying shielded arrays uses cstore/cload
instead of sstore/sload. These tests currently fail because the
implementation hardcodes sstore/sload regardless of type shielding.

Tests cover:
- Memory-to-storage copy
- Storage-to-storage copy
- Calldata-to-storage copy
- Multiple items per slot (sbool[])

Each test verifies:
- Initial array length is 0 before copy
- Array length after copy is correct
- Array elements are correctly stored and retrieved

Addresses: Veridise audit finding VER-771
This fixes a critical issue where storage array copy operations
hardcoded sstore/sload regardless of whether the base type was
shielded. For shielded value types like suint[] and sbool[], this
would violate confidentiality guarantees and could cause reverts
when accessing confidential storage slots.

Changes:
- Modified copyValueArrayToStorageFunction to select opcodes based
  on base type's isShielded() status
- Fixed hardcoded sload in updateSrcPtr template to use parameterized
  loadOpcode for both single and multi-item-per-slot cases

The generated IR now correctly emits cstore/cload for shielded arrays
and sstore/sload for non-shielded arrays.

Addresses: Veridise audit finding VER-771
We updated the semantics of confidential storage opcodes in SeismicSystems/seismic-revm#180. The changes here are needed to reflect the new semantics.
Update all tests involving dynamic shielded arrays to expect .length
to return suint256 instead of uint256, and to use cload/cstore instead
of sload/sstore for the length slot in inline assembly.

Add new semantic and syntax tests for comprehensive coverage of the
suint length behavior including type checking, cload/cstore assembly
verification, push/pop operations, and mapping interactions.
Dynamic shielded arrays (e.g. suint[], saddress[]) now store their
length in confidential storage (cload/cstore) instead of public storage
(sload/sstore), and .length returns suint256 instead of uint256.
This prevents leaking collection size metadata through storage access
patterns.

Fixed-length shielded arrays (e.g. suint[5]) are unaffected — their
.length remains uint256 (compile-time constant).

All conditionals use containsShieldedType() rather than checking the
base type directly, so future sbytes support will automatically inherit
shielded length behavior.

Changes:
- Types.cpp: .length member returns suint256 for dynamic shielded arrays
- ArrayUtils.cpp: 6 locations switch sload/sstore to cload/cstore for
  length in legacy codegen (copyArrayToStorage, clearDynamicArray,
  resizeDynamicArray, incrementDynamicArraySize, popStorageArrayElement,
  retrieveLength)
- YulUtilFunctions.cpp: 5 locations switch sload/sstore to cload/cstore
  for length in Yul codegen (arrayLengthFunction, resizeArrayFunction,
  storageArrayPopFunction, storageArrayPushFunction,
  storageArrayPushZeroFunction)

Both audit branches independently added these method declarations to
UserDefinedValueType but in slightly different positions. The auto-merge
kept both copies, causing a compile error.
Addresses audit recommendations to document shielded type limitations
including msg.value visibility, array length metadata leakage, ABI
encoding restrictions, sbool branching info leak, saddress member
limitations, literal deployment leakage, and shielded dynamic bytes.
Add syntax test expecting a warning when msg.value is assigned to a
shielded type, since msg.value is always publicly visible on-chain.
Emit warning 9664 when msg.value is used in an expression being
assigned to a shielded type variable. msg.value is always publicly
visible on-chain and wrapping it in a shielded type does not hide
the transaction value from observers.

Addresses audit item #2 from "Maintainability and documentation
warnings for shielded behavior".
Add new syntax test and update existing tests to expect warning 9665
when a state variable is a dynamic array with shielded element types,
informing users that an upper bound on the array length may be
observable through gas cost analysis.
Emit warning 9665 when a state variable is a dynamic array with
shielded element types. Although the length is stored in confidential
storage, an upper bound may still be observable through gas cost
analysis when elements are added or removed.

Addresses audit finding "Array lengths are public" updated response.
Add comments to isByteArray/isByteArrayOrString noting that these
helpers assume non-shielded base types. If shielded dynamic bytes
are added in the future, the stride calculations and storage layout
code that depends on these helpers must be revisited.

Addresses audit item #5 from "Maintainability and documentation
warnings for shielded behavior".
Add syntax test expecting DeclarationError 9826 when shielded types
are used with transient storage. Remove old cmdline and semantic tests
that expected transient shielded variables to work.
Transient storage is a separate storage space that requires special
privacy considerations for traces. Reject shielded transient variables
at the declaration level with DeclarationError 9826.

The previous codegen fix (TSTORE/TLOAD for transient shielded) remains
as defense-in-depth but is now unreachable.

…ion contexts

Update test expectations so warnings 9660/9661/9662/9663/1457 fire for
shielded literal conversions in assignments, function arguments, return
statements, and push calls — not only variable declarations. Warning
source locations also narrow from the full statement span to the
conversion expression span.
Move the literal-to-shielded check from endVisit(VariableDeclarationStatement)
into typeCheckTypeConversionAndRetrieveReturnType, which runs for every
explicit type conversion regardless of syntactic context. This ensures
warnings fire for assignments, function arguments, return statements,
and push calls — not only variable declarations. Remove the now-dead
checkShieldedLiteralWarning helper.
Update test expectations to require warning 9660 for constant
expressions (BinaryOperation, UnaryOperation) cast to shielded types,
not just direct Literal AST nodes. Add comprehensive test file covering
arithmetic expressions, unary negation, and sbytes32 casts.
checkLiteralToShielded gated all checks behind a Literal AST node
downcast, so constant expressions like 0 ** 1E1233 (BinaryOperation)
or -(2 + 3) (UnaryOperation) with RationalNumber type silently skipped
the warning. Restructure the function to check RationalNumber, Enum,
and ShieldedFixedBytes target types first (no Literal cast needed),
then fall through to the Literal cast only for ShieldedBool and
ShieldedAddress which genuinely need literal->value() and
literal->looksLikeAddress().
Run semantic tests in 4 configurations:
1. No optimizer, no IR (baseline)
2. With optimizer, no IR (baseline)
3. No optimizer, --via-ir (tests IR codegen)
4. With optimizer, --via-ir (tests optimized IR)
- shielded_array_storage_pop_zero_length.sol: Change EVMVersion from
  >=petersburg to >=mercury (suint[] requires CLOAD/CSTORE opcodes)

- all_possible_user_defined_value_types_with_operators.sol: Add
  compileViaYul:false with explanatory comment (test exceeds EIP-170's
  24KB contract size limit when compiled with via-IR without optimizer)
Add 4 regression tests with compileViaYul:also to ensure via-IR specific
bugs are caught while maintaining non-IR test coverage:

1. shielded_struct_delete_mixed_viair.sol
   Tests that struct delete uses correct opcodes (sstore for uint16/uint8,
   cstore for sbytes1) when clearing mixed shielded/non-shielded fields.
   Prevents regression of clearStorageStructFunction bug.

2. sbytes_dynamic_packed_storage_viair.sol
   Tests sbytes1 array operations (push, index read, index write) use
   numBytes() not storageBytes() for shift/mask in packed storage.
   Prevents regression of packed storage bugs.

3. sbytes_abi_encoding_viair.sol
   Tests storage-to-memory copy uses cload not sload for sbytes arrays.
   Prevents regression of abiEncodingFunctionCompactStorageArray bug.

4. timestamp_magic_viair.sol
   Tests block.timestamp_seconds and block.timestamp_ms generate correct
   IR (timestamp() and timestampms() respectively).
   Prevents regression of IR timestamp member bug.

All tests use compileViaYul:also to run in both IR and non-IR modes,
ensuring comprehensive coverage and regression prevention.
Fixes all remaining issues blocking via-IR compilation for shielded types.
Test results: 1641/1642 pass without optimizer (99.94%), 1642/1642 with
optimizer (100%). Single failure is unrelated contract size limit.

Issue 1: clearStorageStructFunction used wrong opcode for mixed structs
- Problem: Mixed structs (uint16 + sbytes) used cstore for ALL fields
- Fix: All shielded types have storageBytes()==32, so <32 branch is
  non-shielded only. Hardcode sstore with defensive assertion.
- File: libsolidity/codegen/YulUtilFunctions.cpp:1915-1931

Issue 2: IR timestamp magic members called non-existent functions
- Problem: Generated IR called timestamp_seconds() and timestamp_ms()
- Fix: Map timestamp_seconds to timestamp(), timestamp_ms to timestampms()
- File: libsolidity/codegen/ir/IRGeneratorForStatements.cpp:1979-1984

Issue 3: ABI routing bug for sbytes storage arrays
- Problem: sbytes has storageBytes()==32 but IS a byte array
- Fix: Check isByteArrayOrString() before storageBytes() check
- File: libsolidity/codegen/ABIFunctions.cpp:328-335

Issue 4: Storage-to-memory copy used sload instead of cload
- Problem: abiEncodingFunctionCompactStorageArray used sload for sbytes
- Fix: Add loadOpcode template parameter checking isShielded()
- File: libsolidity/codegen/ABIFunctions.cpp:727

Issue 5-7: Packed storage operations used storageBytes() not numBytes()
- Problem: sbytes1 has storageBytes()=32 but occupies 1 byte in arrays
- Fix: Use numBytes() for shift/mask calculations in packed storage
- Files: libsolidity/codegen/YulUtilFunctions.cpp:3180,3235,2978

Issue 8: Memory byte array write rejected sbytes1
- Problem: Assertion expected only bytes1 for memory byte array elements
- Fix: Accept both bytes1 and sbytes1
- File: libsolidity/codegen/ir/IRGeneratorForStatements.cpp:3233

Additional: Add --unsafe-via-ir flag to CLI and Standard JSON
- Allows experimental use of via-IR pipeline with shielded types
- Files: solc/CommandLineParser.cpp, libsolidity/interface/StandardCompiler.cpp
