WAT — leading (define ...) forms in a lambda body now bind LOCALLY
(letrec*-equivalent) instead of polluting the global env. Implementation:
apply for closures pre-processes the body in three passes:
1. hoist_internal_defines walks leading defines, env_define each name
to VOID in the new env, returns the extended env.
2. strip_leading_defines returns the body with the defines removed.
3. fill_internal_defines evaluates each define's value-expression in
the new env (so mutual references work) and env_set the real value.
(define x 1)
(define (f) (define x 99) x)
(f) ; → 99 (was 99, still 99)
x ; → 1 (was 99 wrongly — fixed)
(define (h) (define helper (lambda (x) (* x 2))) (helper 5))
helper ; → unbound (was a leaked global procedure — fixed)
C-WASM — added a thorough doc-block in lumbda_wasm_entry.c covering
the gc.c fallback malloc situation and three plausible real fixes
(Boehm-em build, custom mark-sweep over NaN-boxed heap, generational
reset). Repl tabbar already surfaces the pressure to the user.
Parity corpus locks the new scoping behavior:
internal-define-local — global x stays 1
internal-define-returns — f returns 99
internal-define-mutual — mutually-recursive internal defines
Tests: 20 unit, 8 integration, 11 functional, 249 parity all green.
