Adds spread operator for records, allowing concise record updates:
let p2 = { ...p, x: 5.0 }
Changes across the full pipeline:
- Lexer: new DotDotDot (...) token
- AST: optional spread field on Record variant
- Parser: detect ... at start of record expression
- Typechecker: merge spread record fields with explicit overrides
- Interpreter: evaluate spread, overlay explicit fields
- JS backend: emit native JS spread syntax
- C backend: copy spread into temp, assign overrides
- Formatter, linter, LSP, symbol table: propagate spread

- Tuple index: `pair.0`, `pair.1` syntax across parser, typechecker,
interpreter, C/JS backends, formatter, linter, and symbol table
- Multi-line function args: allow newlines inside argument lists
- Fix effect unification for callback parameters (empty expected
effects means "no constraint", not "must be pure")

Build a complete static site generator in Lux that faithfully clones
blu.cx (elmstatic). Generates 14 post pages, section indexes, tag pages,
and a home page with snippets grid from markdown content.
Language fixes discovered during development:
- Add \{ and \} escape sequences in string literals (lexer)
- Register String.indexOf and String.lastIndexOf in type checker
- Fix formatter to preserve brace escapes in string literals
- Improve LSP hover to show documentation for let bindings and functions
ISSUES.md documents 15 Lux language limitations found during the project.

Add inlay type hints for let bindings, parameter name hints at call sites,
behavioral property documentation in hover, and long signature wrapping.
- Inlay hints: show inferred types for let bindings without annotations
- Parameter hints: show param names at call sites for multi-arg functions
- Hover: wrap long signatures, show behavioral property docs (pure, total, etc.)
- Rich docs: detailed hover for keywords like pure, total, idempotent, run, with
- TypeChecker: expose get_inferred_type() for LSP consumption
- Symbol table: include behavioral properties in function type signatures

Website rebuilt from scratch based on analysis of 11 beloved language
websites (Elm, Zig, Gleam, Swift, Kotlin, Haskell, OCaml, Crystal, Roc,
Rust, Go).
New website structure:
- Homepage with hero, playground, three pillars, install guide
- Language Tour with interactive lessons (hello world, types, effects)
- Examples cookbook with categorized sidebar
- API documentation index
- Installation guide (Nix and source)
- Sleek/noble design (black/gold, serif typography)
Also includes:
- New stdlib/json.lux module for JSON serialization
- Enhanced stdlib/http.lux with middleware and routing
- New string functions (charAt, indexOf, lastIndexOf, repeat)
- LSP improvements (rename, signature help, formatting)
- Package manager transitive dependency resolution
- Updated documentation for effects and stdlib
- New showcase example (task_manager.lux)
