Research direction

Start in the Cranelift instruction definitions and operand type handling; the issue does not identify specific files or tests. Trace how unsigned immediate instructions currently require casts, then determine the affected cases and verify that they accept unsigned immediate types without those casts using the relevant Cranelift tests.
