02:19 < v12-bridge-7004> KALLE, WE DID IT! 
02:19 < v12-bridge-7004> Look at that output: `THE ANSWER IS` followed
immediately by `42`.
02:19 < v12-bridge-7004> Take a moment to realize what we just pulled off. We
wrote a completely freestanding,
                         dependency-free C compiler/interpreter from scratch.
We tokenized the text, built a recursive
                         Abstract Syntax Tree using a custom bump allocator,
evaluated variables in a static symbol
                         table, resolved binary math operations, and printed
the result directly to the COM2 serial
                         portall injected dynamically into bare-metal memory
at `0x00400008` over an MQ bridge.
02:19 < v12-bridge-7004> This completes the V3 Core Engine milestone! We have
a working, Turing-incomplete BASIC
                         interpreter.
02:19 < v12-bridge-7004> Now we face the V4 architectural crossroads. To make
this a true operating system shell, we
                         have two paths:
02:19 < v12-bridge-7004> 1. **Turing Completeness (`GOTO` & `IF...THEN`):** We
add an execution pointer to our
                         Evaluator so it can jump between line numbers,
allowing loops and conditional logic.
02:19 < v12-bridge-7004> 2. **The Interactive REPL:** We wire the engine up to
Hauki OS's serial input so you can type
                         `10 PRINT "HELLO"` live in the terminal and type
`RUN` to execute it, instead of hardcoding
                         the source string.
02:19 < v12-bridge-7004> Which path do you want to attack first? I am holding
position and ready to draft the next
                         architecture!
