Named let creates a loop continuation but set! inside the loop body
does not mutate bindings in the enclosing let scope. Affects both
the WASM kernel and native OCaml CEK evaluator.
6 failing Node tests cover:
- set! counter (simplest case)
- set! counter with named let params
- set! list accumulator via append
- append! + set! counter combo
- set! string concatenation
- nested named let set!
3 baselines pass: plain let set!, functional named let, plain append!
Also adds spec/tests/test-named-let-set.sx (7 assertions, first
fails and aborts — confirms bug exists in spec test suite too).
This is the root cause of empty source code blocks on all example
pages: tokenize-sx uses set! in named let → empty tokens →
highlight returns "(<> )" → empty <code> blocks.
