            title: "Type mismatch",
            explanation: r#"
This error occurs when the type checker expects one type but finds another.

Type mismatches commonly occur when:
- A function is called with an argument of the wrong type
- A variable is used in a context that requires a different type
- A return value doesn't match the function's declared return type

The compiler shows the expected type and the actual type found. Check that
your types align, or add explicit type conversions where needed.

            code: "E0002",
            title: "Infinite type (occurs check)",
            explanation: r#"
This error occurs when type inference would create an infinite type,
typically when a value is used in a way that would require it to contain
itself.

This is detected by the "occurs check" during unification. If a type
variable would need to be unified with a type containing that same
variable, it would create an infinite loop in the type.

Common causes:
- Recursive data without proper type annotations
- Accidentally creating circular references in types

            example: Some(
                r#"

            explanation: r#"
This error occurs when you use a variable name that hasn't been defined
in the current scope.

Common causes:
- Typo in the variable name
- Using a variable before it's defined
- Variable defined in a different scope (e.g., inside a let or lambda)
- Forgot to import a module

The compiler will suggest similar names if it finds a likely typo.

            code: "E0004",
            title: "Unbound constructor",
            explanation: r#"
This error occurs when you use a data constructor that hasn't been defined
or imported.

Data constructors in Haskell/BHC must:
- Start with an uppercase letter (e.g., Just, Nothing, True)
- Be defined in a data/newtype declaration
- Be imported if defined in another module

Common causes:
- Typo in the constructor name
- Forgot to import the data type
- Constructor is not exported from its module

            code: "E0005",
            title: "Pattern arity mismatch",
            explanation: r#"
This error occurs when a pattern has a different number of arguments than
the data constructor expects.

Each data constructor has a fixed number of fields. When pattern matching,
you must provide exactly that many pattern variables.
"#,
            example: Some(
                r#"

            code: "E0006",
            title: "Ambiguous type variable",
            explanation: r#"
This error occurs when the compiler cannot determine a concrete type for
a type variable. The type is ambiguous because there's not enough
information to resolve it.

This often happens with:
- Numeric literals that could be Int, Float, etc.
- Polymorphic functions where the result type isn't constrained
- Show/Read without a concrete type context

Solution: Add a type annotation to specify the intended type.
"#,
            example: Some(
                r#"
foo = show (read "42")  -- Error: ambiguous type for read

            code: "E0007",
            title: "Kind mismatch",
            explanation: r#"
This error occurs when a type is used with the wrong kind.

Kinds classify types:
- `*` (or `Type`): Concrete types like Int, Bool, [Char]
- `* -> *`: Type constructors like Maybe, [], IO
- `* -> * -> *`: Two-parameter type constructors like Either, (,)

Kind errors often occur when:
- Applying a concrete type as if it were a type constructor
- Forgetting to apply a type constructor to its argument
"#,
            example: Some(
                r#"

            explanation: r#"
This error occurs when a function is called with the wrong number of
arguments.

While Haskell/BHC supports partial application (providing fewer arguments
than expected), this error is raised when you provide MORE arguments than
the function accepts.

The error message shows which arguments are extra.

This error occurs when you try to apply something that isn't a function
as if it were one.

In Haskell/BHC, function application is denoted by juxtaposition:
  f x    -- Apply f to x

If `f` is not a function type (doesn't have the form `a -> b`), you'll
get this error.

This error occurs when tensor dimensions don't match as required by an
operation.

For example, matrix multiplication requires the inner dimensions to match:
  matmul :: Tensor '[m, k] a -> Tensor '[k, n] a -> Tensor '[m, n] a

The 'k' dimension (columns of first matrix, rows of second) must be equal.

Common causes:
- Matrices with incompatible shapes for multiplication
- Elementwise operations on tensors of different shapes
- Incorrect reshape operations

This error occurs specifically during matrix multiplication when the inner
dimensions don't match.

Matrix multiplication has the signature:
  matmul :: Tensor '[m, k] a -> Tensor '[k, n] a -> Tensor '[m, n] a

The second dimension of the first matrix (k, the number of columns) must
equal the first dimension of the second matrix (k, the number of rows).

Visual representation:
  [m × k] @ [k × n] = [m × n]
       └───┴──── these must match

Common fixes:
- Transpose one of the matrices
- Swap the order of arguments
- Reshape to get compatible dimensions

This error occurs when two tensors have shapes that cannot be broadcast
together according to NumPy-style broadcasting rules.

Broadcasting rules:
1. Shapes are compared element-wise from the trailing dimensions
2. Dimensions are compatible if they are equal or one of them is 1
3. Missing dimensions are treated as 1

For example:
  [3, 4] and [4] -> OK (becomes [3, 4])
  [3, 4] and [1, 4] -> OK (becomes [3, 4])
  [3, 4] and [2, 4] -> Error! (3 ≠ 2 and neither is 1)

This error occurs when attempting to convert a DynTensor to a statically-
shaped tensor with fromDynamic, but the runtime shape doesn't match.

DynTensor is an existentially-quantified wrapper that hides the shape:
  data DynTensor a where
    MkDynTensor :: Tensor shape a -> DynTensor a

When using fromDynamic, you must handle the case where the shapes don't
match:
  fromDynamic :: ShapeWitness shape -> DynTensor a -> Maybe (Tensor shape a)

Always pattern match on the Maybe result to handle both cases.

This warning indicates that a variable is defined but never used.

While this doesn't prevent compilation, unused variables often indicate:
- Incomplete code (forgot to use the variable)
- Dead code that can be removed
- A typo in the variable name

To suppress this warning for intentionally unused variables, prefix the
name with an underscore: `_unused`.
