Implements 8 new language features:
- |> pipe operator: a |> f desugars to f(a), left-associative chains
- with record update: let b = a with { field: val } — non-destructive struct update
- retry/fallback: retry N times { ... } fallback { ... } with counter-based loop codegen
- reason: AI inference primitive calling soma /v1/chat/completions at runtime
- parallel: concurrent execution block returning a Map of named results via threads
- trace: zero-cost observability block emitting TraceBegin/TraceEnd with ms timing
- requires: precondition annotation on fn, emits ContractCheck bytecode at entry
- deploy: deployment-as-syntax posting to soma /v1/deploy at runtime
All features thread through lexer → parser/AST → codegen → runtime interpreter.
