ce4ab45651 feat: implement evidence passing for O(1) effect handler lookup
Interpreter changes:
- Add evidence HashMap for O(1) handler lookup instead of O(n) stack search
- Update eval_run to manage evidence when entering/exiting run blocks
- Modify handle_effect to use evidence.get() instead of stack iteration

C backend infrastructure:
- Add handler structs (LuxConsoleHandler, LuxStateHandler, LuxReaderHandler)
- Add LuxEvidence struct containing pointers to all handlers
- Add default handlers that delegate to built-in implementations
- Add Console.readLine built-in implementation

Documentation:
- Create docs/EVIDENCE_PASSING.md explaining design and implementation
- Update docs/C_BACKEND.md with current progress

909dbf7a97 feat: add list support to C backend and improve compile workflow
C Backend Lists:
- Add LuxList type (dynamic array with void* boxing)
- Implement all 16 list operations: length, isEmpty, concat, reverse,
  range, take, drop, head, tail, get, map, filter, fold, find, any, all
- Higher-order operations generate inline loops with closure calls
- Fix unique variable names to prevent redefinition errors

Compile Command:
- `lux compile file.lux` now produces a binary (like rustc, go build)
- Add `--emit-c` flag to output C code instead
- Binary name derived from source filename (foo.lux -> ./foo)
- Clean up temp files after compilation

Documentation:
- Create docs/C_BACKEND.md with full strategy documentation
- Document compilation pipeline, runtime types, limitations
- Compare with Koka, Rust, Zig, Go, Nim, OCaml approaches
- Outline future roadmap (evidence passing, Perceus RC)
- Fix misleading doc comment (remove false Perceus claim)
- Update OVERVIEW.md and ROADMAP.md to reflect list completion
