deobfuscators, and binary-analysis tooling.

## Status
`analyssa` is a standalone crate for target-agnostic SSA construction, analysis,
optimization passes, and scheduler integration.
## What's here
- `bitset` / `graph` — generic data-structure utilities.
- `ir` — SSA IR core: blocks, instructions, phi nodes, variables,
ops, values, exception handlers, functions.
- `analysis` — SSA-level analyses: CFG, constants, evaluator, liveness,
memory SSA, patterns, phi placement, resolver, verifier, symbolic execution,
and dataflow.
- `passes` — reusable optimization and deobfuscation pass bodies.
- `scheduling` / `host` / `world` — traits and scheduler glue for host crates
that own method storage, dirty tracking, and interprocedural traversal.
- `target` — `Target` trait + `MockTarget` for unit testing without a
concrete instruction-set host.
- `pointer` — `PointerSize` for hosts to communicate target pointer
width to generic passes.
## Usage
A consuming crate implements the `Target` trait for its host (mapping
the trait's associated types — `TypeRef`, `MethodRef`, etc. — to its
metadata model), then constructs `SsaFunction<T>` and runs analyses
or transformation passes against it.
```rust
use analyssa::{analysis::DefUseIndex, testing};
let ssa = testing::const_i32_return(42);
let index = DefUseIndex::build_with_ops(&ssa);
assert_eq!(ssa.variables().len(), 1);
assert!(index.full_definition(analyssa::ir::SsaVarId::from_index(0)).is_some());
```
`MockTarget` (`analyssa::testing::MockTarget`) is the minimal `Target`
implementation for tests and examples that do not need host-specific metadata.
## Development
```bash
cargo fmt --check
cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
cargo test
cargo test --doc --all-features
cargo llvm-cov --all-targets --all-features --summary-only
RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings -D missing-docs" cargo doc --no-deps --all-features --document-private-items
```
The CI workflow runs these checks on pull requests and pushes to `main`.
## Minimum Rust Version
