 ## Preemption and Scheduling
 
 - Time-sliced loop with configurable `stepBudget` and `sliceMs`.
 - Call `vm.pause()` to stop at a safe boundary. Call `vm.resume()` or `vm.run()` to continue.
 - Errors halt the scheduler and call your callbacks.

 ## Debugging and Introspection
 
 Enable tracing and breakpoints when needed. This layer is opt-in and incurs minimal overhead when disabled.

 - Source maps: each emitted cell records the token index that produced it; symbolication finds line/col.

 ## Embedding Tips
 
 - Provide `print` and/or `println` so users see output.
 - Use `onError` to surface structured errors in your IDE (decorate gutter, highlight token, etc.).
 - Enable `vm.debug` only when you need it (breakpoints, tracing).
 - For long-running student code, keep `stepBudget` moderate (e.g., 1000 - 5000) to preserve UI responsiveness.

-- Keep the interpreter tiny and readable.
-- Add tests for every public API and new word.
-- Do not change existing tests unless they are clearly wrong.
-- Prefer structured errors over thrown exceptions.
