Complete Flow Checklist

1. ✅ Phase 3 (remap_values): ValueIds remapped
2. ✅ Phase 3.5 (build):
   • Header PHI dsts allocated
   • Entry incoming set
   • Passed to Phase 4
3. ✅ Phase 4 (instruction_rewriter):
   • Latch incoming set when processing tail calls
   • Exit values use header PHI dsts (not parameters)
   • Carrier exit values use header PHI dsts
4. ✅ Phase 4.5 (finalize):
   • PHI instructions emitted into header block
   • Validation that all latch incoming are set
5. ✅ Phase 5 (exit_phi_builder):
   • Exit PHI created from exit_phi_inputs
   • carrier_phis returned with PHI dsts
6. ✅ Phase 6 (ExitLineOrchestrator):
   • variable_map updated with header PHI dsts
