Bytecode and JIT

The normal command is:

alef run main.alef

Bytecode modes are available for runtime work:

alef --bytecode run main.alef
alef --strict-bytecode run main.alef

--bytecode attempts bytecode first and may fall back to the tree-walking runtime for unsupported bytecode features.

--strict-bytecode does not fall back. Use it when validating bytecode support.

JIT support is runtime-feature dependent and should be documented separately from the production default path.
