Research direction
Reproduce the FreeBSD 16 build and inspect stage0/src/runtime/object.cpp alongside the generated stage0/include/lean/lean.h declaration of free_sized. Trace why the declaration and definition differ under the updated toolchain, then verify that the stage0 compilation completes without the ambiguity or exception-specification errors.
