This function body causes an assertion error in the compiler (version 0.42.0 in this case but I also see it in a slightly modified version of 0.45.0). I couldn't find another issue for this yet but it's not easy to search for.

Found this on a hunch/check while looking at the error-flag code, hoping to fix with possible other changes

     let x: String = (error)

This results in:

The API tags it as a Data, but should be Ability:

{"termDefinitions":{},"typeDefinitions":{"##IO":{"typeNames":[".base.IO",".builtin.io2.IO",".contrib.stew.logging.builtin.io2.IO"],"bestTypeName":"base.IO",

Environment

• SuperCollider version: 3.12 (relevant code is stable for a long time)
• Operating system: doesn't matter

Steps to reproduce

a = { Clip.ar(0, 0, 1) }.play;  // crash

a = { InRange.ar(0, 0, 1) * 0.05 }.play;  // buzzing at kr frequency

Expected vs. actual behavior

Crashes, by definition, should be fixed or prevented. (The crash for Cli
