أَلَمْ have not
A negating question-opener, fusing the question-marker with the past-negating 'did not': have you not. It frames a rhetorical question that expects a yes and governs the verb that follows into the cut-short shape.

ألم Didn't
A question-marker fused with the negator 'did not', forming 'did I not...'. Arabic stacks a yes/no question-prefix onto a negation to make a rhetorical 'didn't I?', expecting agreement.
