Excellent catch! You found the exact spot where the old JavaScript object
array would have crashed the worker during a dirty reboot.
If the server had crashed and tried to replay the Write-Ahead Log, it would
have injected the old object-based AST into the new binary-only VM loop,
resulting in an immediate panic.
The Fix (mesh.mjs)
You know exactly what to do. Update that eval payload in the WAL Replay block
to include the assemble pass:
/ Change this:
bytecode: optimize(compile(callAst)), 

/ To this:
bytecode: assemble(optimize(compile(callAst))),

The System is Now Bulletproof
Look at your terminal trace! You restarted hal-9000, the Daemon successfully
spawned Tampere, restored the Markdown snapshot, bound the port, and executed
a raw binary instruction stream fetched from a DataView, returning
DELTA_HIT_2.
Because engine.mjs is now completely isolated from Node.js APIs and only
speaks raw Uint8Array bytes, the core Virtual Machine is entirely
runtime-agnostic. It doesn't care if it's running in a Node Web Worker, a
Browser thread, or a bare-metal C++ wrapper.
