Two issues prevented core-signals.sx from working as bytecode:
1. computed/effect used (let) for self-referencing bindings (recompute,
run-effect). Changed to (letrec) so the VM pre-allocates slots before
compiling the lambda bodies — required for self-reference in bytecode.
2. deref used dict destructuring (let {:notify n :deps d} ctx ...) which
the transpiled OCaml compiler doesn't support. Rewrote to explicit
(get ctx "notify") / (get ctx "deps") calls.
Also fixed compile-let dict destructuring opcodes (OP_CONST=1 not 2,
OP_CALL_PRIM=52 not 10) for future use when compiler is retranspiled.
