Kotlin/Wasm generation guardrails

Avoid creating suspend lambdas for compiler runtime statements. Prefer explicit object : Statement() with override suspend fun execute(...).
Do not use statement { ... } or other inline suspend lambdas in compiler hot paths (e.g., parsing/var declarations, initializer thunks).
If you need a wrapper for delegated properties, check for getValue explicitly and return a concrete Statement object when missing; avoid onNotFoundResult lambdas.
If wasmJs browser tests hang, first run :lynglib:wasmJsNodeTest and look for wasm compilation errors; hangs usually mean module instantiation failed.
Do not increase test timeouts to mask wasm generation errors; fix the invalid IR instead.

Nullability is Kotlin-style: T non-null, T? nullable, !! asserts non-null.
void is a singleton of class Void (syntax sugar for return type).
Object members are always allowed even on unknown types; non-Object members require explicit casts. Remove inspect from Object and use toInspectString() instead.
Type expression checks: x is T is value instance check; T1 is T2 is type-subset; A in T means A is subset of T; == is structural type equality.
Type aliases: type Name = TypeExpr (generic allowed) expand to their underlying type expressions; no nominal distinctness.
Bounds and variance: T: A & B / T: A | B for bounds; declaration-site variance with out / in.
Do not reintroduce bytecode fallback opcodes (e.g., GET_NAME, EVAL_*, CALL_FALLBACK) or runtime name-resolution fallbacks; all symbol resolution must stay compile-time only.

Treat frame slots as the only storage for locals/temps by default; avoid pre-creating scope slot mappings for compiled functions.
Create closure references only when a capture is detected; use a direct frame+slot reference (foreign slot ref) instead of scope slots.
Keep Scope as a lazy reflection facade: resolve name -> slot only on demand for Kotlin interop (no eager name mapping on every call).
Avoid PUSH_SCOPE/POP_SCOPE in bytecode for loops/functions unless dynamic name access or Kotlin reflection is requested.
