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.

Changes to resolver.py:
- Improved PHI value tracking in _value_at_end_i64() (lines 268-285)
- Added trace logging for snap hits with PHI detection
- Fixed PHI placeholder reuse logic to preserve dominance
- PHI values now returned directly from snapshots when valid
Changes to llvm_builder.py:
- Fixed externcall instruction parsing (line 522: 'func' instead of 'name')
- Improved block snapshot tracing (line 439)
- Added PHI incoming metadata tracking (lines 316-376)
- Enhanced definition tracking for lifetime hints
This should help debug the string carry=0 issue in esc_dirname_smoke where
PHI values were being incorrectly coerced instead of preserved.
