refactor: batch 1 - correctness and error contract

- MID/RIGHT/LEFT integer args now coerced at call sites (RIGHT(s, n/2)
  no longer emits invalid IR); drop emitLeft's private conversion
- FOR loop direction decided at run time via select on STEP sign;
  descending FOR works, STEP evaluated once per iteration
- ArrayHandler: extract emitCheckedIndices/loadElement; index count is
  validated before emission, fixing a compiler-crash (vector OOB UB) on
  OUTPUT with too many indices
- Error contract: Lexer/Parser/CodeGen track errors; all silent failure
  paths now print Error: diagnostics with line numbers; unterminated
  char literal no longer truncates the rest of the program; module is
  verified with verifyModule; driver exits non-zero on any error
