- Removed Pipeline, Stage - Made Interpreter the main program with it's own instances of lexer, parser, runtime - Simplified Runtime - Update tests
Interpreter now has the methods that used to be in the Runtime class.
Runtime is both a scope and the main scope with the stack. It itself is the first scope in its stack. Weird? Maybe. Tests pass. This simplifies the mental model to just Interpreter and its subsystems.
The stack, server map, database map, etc, used to be in a class Runtime. Now that functionality is directly in Interpreter. Makes Interpreter the main running program. Don't have to think about calling .runtime anywhere. All tests pass.

Summary
Interpreteris now the sole entry point: it holds lexer, parser, and all execution state (stack, routes, servers, loaded_files, etc.) directly, and exposes run(source_code)Global < Scopegoes back to a plain empty subclass, and becomes the first scope pushed to stack on first runWhat changed
Before: Five moving parts —
Stage,Program,Runtime,Global,Interpreter— with circular ownership (Runtimeowned ~Interpreter,Interpreterheld@runtime`) and two separate code paths for interp vs interp_file.After: Three plain classes —
Lexer,Parser,Interpreter.Interpreter.new.run(source)is all a caller needs. Lexer and Parser can still be called directly for partial pipeline use.
