+// minimal_to_i64_void.hako — StringHelpers.to_i64 × Void 最小再現
+//
+// 目的:
+//   - StringHelpers.to_i64 に Void 値を渡したときに
+//     `"" + x` で String + Void 型エラーになるケースを最小コードで再現する。
+//   - Stage‑1 CLI とは独立した、純粋な VM 実行ルートでの再現用。
+//
+// 実行例:
+//   ./target/release/hakorune apps/tests/minimal_to_i64_void.hako
+//
+// 期待される挙動（バグ再現時）:
+//   Type error: unsupported binop Add on String(\"\") and Void
+//
+// 修正後は:
+//   - 正常に 0 を出力して終了するなど、「Void を安全に扱える」ようにする。
