//! Instruction Substitution
//!
//! Replaces simple instructions with equivalent but more complex sequences.
//! This increases resistance to pattern matching and static analysis.
//!
//! ## Substitution Rules
//!
//! Each operation can be replaced with mathematically equivalent alternatives:
//!
//! - `ADD` → `SUB(-b)` or `XOR + AND + shifts`
//! - `SUB` → `ADD(-b)` or `NOT + ADD + INC`
//! - `XOR` → `(a | b) & ~(a & b)` or `(a & ~b) | (~a & b)`
//! - `INC` → `ADD 1` or `SUB -1`
//! - `DEC` → `SUB 1` or `ADD -1`
//! - `NOT` → `XOR 0xFFFF...`
//!
//! ## Safety
//!
//! All substitutions are mathematically equivalent and preserve:
//! - Stack state
//! - Result values
//! - Flag behavior

#![allow(dead_code)] // Functions available for future integration
