nl.zeros was previously mapped to builtin.lang.zeros which was moved to builtin.tensor.zeros (a trace-time constant) in NKI-499, breaking the nl.zeros -> builtin.lang.zeros mapping. Customers using nl.zeros with buffer= (e.g. buffer=nl.sbuf) received 'unexpected keyword argument buffer' errors.

Add builtin.lang.zeros to Lang.lean that allocates an on-device tensor (matching ndarray semantics) and emits a memset to zero-initialize it. Supports buffer=nl.sbuf (default), nl.psum, nl.hbm, nl.shared_hbm, and integer dtypes.

Workaround for customers on affected releases:

  ZS = nl.ndarray(shape, dtype=dtype, buffer=buffer)
  nisa.memset(ZS, value=0.0)
