fix: three foundation/el root-cause bugs (no more bandaids)

1. Parser+codegen: bare reassignment `x = expr` inside an if-body
   was compiling to three orphan expressions with no store. Now
   emits a real assignment.

2. Runtime json_get: dot-path segments that are all digits now
   correctly traverse array indices. `json_get(s, "0.field")` works.

3. Runtime HTTP writer: response bodies starting with
   `{"__status__":<int>,...}` now set the HTTP status header to
   that value and strip the marker from the served body. Existing
   404/401/503 paths in product code now produce real status codes
   instead of HTTP 200 with the status hidden in the body.

Self-host fixed point holds: gen2 == gen3 byte-identical.
