Parser improvements:
- Added expression statement fallback in parse_statement() for flexible syntax
- Fixed ternary operator to use PeekExpr instead of If AST (better lowering)
- Added peek_token() check to avoid ?/?: operator conflicts
LLVM Python improvements:
- Added optional ESC_JSON_FIX environment flag for string concatenation
- Improved PHI generation with better default handling
- Enhanced substring tracking for esc_json pattern
Documentation updates:
- Updated language guide with peek expression examples
- Added box theory diagrams to Phase 15 planning
- Clarified peek vs when syntax differences
These changes enable cleaner parser implementation for self-hosting,
especially for handling digit conversion with peek expressions instead
of 19-line if-else chains.

Key updates:
- Document MIR 26→15 instruction reduction plan (transitioning status)
- Add Core-15 target instruction set in INSTRUCTION_SET.md
- Save AI conference analyses validating Box Theory and 15-instruction design
- Create MIR annotation system proposal for optimization hints
- Update SKIP_PHASE_10_DECISION.md with LLVM direct migration rationale
Technical insights:
- RefNew/RefGet/RefSet can be eliminated through Box unification
- GC/sync/async all achievable with 15 core instructions
- BoxCall lowering can automatically insert GC barriers
- 2-3x performance improvement expected with LLVM
- Build time reduction 50%, binary size reduction 40%
Status: Design complete, implementation pending
- Add VM instruction statistics (--vm-stats, --vm-stats-json)
- Fix missing fields in ast.rs test code (public_fields, private_fields)
- Add CliConfig fields for VM statistics
- Enable TLV debug logging in plugin_loader_v2
- Successfully test FileBox handle passing and HTTP plugin creation

- Fixed deadlock in FileBox plugin copyFrom implementation (single lock)
- Added TLV Handle (tag=8) parsing in calls.rs for returned BoxRefs
- Improved plugin loader with config path consistency and detailed logging
- Fixed loader routing for proper Handle type_id/fini_method_id resolution
- Added detailed logging for TLV encoding/decoding in plugin_loader_v2
Test docs/examples/plugin_boxref_return.nyash now works correctly:
- cloneSelf() returns FileBox Handle properly
- copyFrom(Box) accepts plugin Box arguments
- Both FileBox instances close and fini correctly
