//! Shell executor state for zshrs.
//!
//! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
//! !!! LAST-RESORT FILE — NOT FOR NEW LOGIC !!!
//!
//! This file holds the `ShellExecutor` runtime state struct + VM-adjacent
//! helpers. It is **not** the place to add zsh logic — every line here that
//! does real shell work is a tax we pay because zshrs uses fusevm bytecode
//! instead of C zsh's wordcode walker.
//!
//! **Before adding code to this file, STOP and ask:**
//!
//!   1. Does the C source have a fn that does this? (Check `src/zsh/Src/*.c`)
//!      → Port it into `src/ported/<file>.rs` with line-by-line citations.
//!        Then call the canonical fn from here.
//!
//!   2. Does `src/ported/` already have a port?
//!      → Call it directly. Don't reimplement.
//!
//!   3. Is this purely a Rust-only state-struct accessor (getter/setter on
//!      ShellExecutor fields, VM init plumbing, executor-context guards)?
//!      → OK to put it here. Mark it `WARNING: RUST-ONLY HELPER` per memory
//!        `feedback_rust_only_helpers_need_warning`.
//!
//! **NEVER:** reinvent paramsubst/expansion/glob/typeset/redirect/scope
//! management here. Every one of those has a canonical port in `src/ported/`.
//! When a bridge-side fn grows past ~30 lines of shell logic, that's a
//! signal the work belongs in `src/ported/` — port it, don't inline.
//!
//! This file should be SHRINKING over time. Every PR that adds lines here
//! should justify it; every PR that moves lines OUT to `src/ported/` is
//! aligned with the project direction.
//!
//! See also: memory `feedback_no_shortcuts_in_porting`, `feedback_true_port_pattern`,
//! `feedback_no_shellexecutor_in_ported` (the inverse direction).
//! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
//!
//! **Not a port of Src/exec.c.** C zsh runs compiled programs on the native
//! **wordcode walker** in `Src/exec.c` (`execlist` / `execpline` / `execcmd`).
//! zshrs uses fusevm bytecode instead; the bridge lives in `src/fusevm_bridge.rs`.
//! This file holds:
//! - `ShellExecutor` — the runtime state struct that the VM and
//!   every ported builtin/utility threads through
//! - VM-adjacent helpers that read/write that state
//!
//! Path-wise this file lives at the crate root (`src/vm_helper`) rather
//! than in `src/ported/` because nothing here corresponds 1:1 to a
//! `Src/*.c` source file. `crate::ported::exec` is kept as a
//! re-export alias so existing call-sites continue to compile.

/// `inputline()`, which would STEAL the outer reader's next SHIN line —
/// e.g. `echo A` / `v=$(echo hi)` / `echo B` had the cmd-subst swallow

// PM_NAMEREF bridge helpers (typeset -n / named references).
//
// Rust-only adapters around the canonical C nameref machinery in
// Src/params.c (resolve_nameref_rec c:6332, setscope c:6382,
// upscope c:6455) and Src/builtin.c (bin_typeset nameref arm
// c:3117-3150). zshrs's paramtab is a name-keyed HashMap handing
// out clones, so the chain walk operates by NAME against the live
// table instead of by Param pointer — same hop rule, same loop
// detection, same upscope old-chain walk. The ported fns in
// params.rs/builtin.rs call into these at the exact C deref points
// (getparamnode c:570-575, getvalue/fetchvalue c:2247-2270,
// assignsparam c:3252/3258, assignaparam c:3392-3398, bin_unset
// c:3939-3951, typeset_single c:2032-2050).
