//! Numeric JIT — native codegen for `slot_based` numeric functions.
//!
//! Compiles numeric `f64`-in/`f64`-out functions to native machine code via Cranelift; the VM calls
//! them directly from the `Call` path when every argument is a number. Two builders:
//!   * [`build_body`] — straight-line + the ternary-`select` shape (leaf callbacks `x => x * 2`,
//!     `(a, b) => a - b`, `x => x === 500`, …).
//!   * [`build_body_cfg`] — **functions with LOOPS and branches** (the big win: a numeric loop
//!     function went from ~89× Node interpreted to ≈1× Node native). Uses a cranelift `Variable` per
//!     frame slot and a block per bytecode jump target; handles for/while/nested loops, if/else,
//!     early return, break, continue. Enabled by slot-based locals making such functions `slot_based`.
//!
//! Anything unsupported (member/index, calls, arrays/objects, non-number constants, pow/shift,
//! booleans in slots, a ternary inside a loop) makes compilation return `None`, and any non-number
//! argument at call time falls back to the interpreter — so this is purely ADDITIVE and can never
//! change behaviour (a miss runs the VM). Only a logic bug here could, hence the differential
//! validation (vm-JIT ≡ interp ≡ node) + `tests/core/jit_loops.tish`.
//!
//! Not compiled for wasm targets (cranelift-jit emits host code).
