//! Lower the JavaScript AST to `fusevm::Chunk`.
//!
//! Native fusevm ops carry arithmetic (`+ - * / % **`), the relational
//! comparisons (`< <= > >=`) and boolean short-circuit so the JIT can trace
//! them; the strict numeric hook (host) supplies JS semantics for non-numeric
//! operands (string concat, coercion). Everything JS-specific — name access,
//! member/index access, calls, object/array construction, iteration — lowers to
//! a `CallBuiltin` that lands in `builtins.rs`.
//!
//! Conditions are normalized through the `TRUTHY` builtin before a native
//! `JumpIfFalse`, because JS truthiness differs from fusevm's default numeric
//! truthiness. Compiler-internal name strings travel as native `Value::Str`
//! constants; JS-level strings are always heap objects built by `MKSTR`.
