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

BUG-004: Add ++ operator for string and list concatenation across all
backends (interpreter, C, JS) with type checking and formatting support.
BUG-001: Auto-invoke top-level `let main = fn () => ...` when main is
a zero-parameter function, instead of just printing the function value.

- 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.

Adds two essential effects that enable Lux to interact with the system:
File effect:
- read(path) - Read file contents as string
- write(path, content) - Write string to file
- append(path, content) - Append to file
- exists(path) - Check if file/directory exists
- delete(path) - Delete a file
- readDir(path) - List directory contents
- isDir(path) - Check if path is directory
- mkdir(path) - Create directory (including parents)
Process effect:
- exec(cmd) - Run shell command, return stdout
- execStatus(cmd) - Run command, return exit code
- env(name) - Get environment variable (returns Option)
- args() - Get command line arguments
- exit(code) - Exit program with code
- cwd() - Get current working directory
- setCwd(path) - Change working directory
Also fixes formatter bug with empty handler blocks in `run ... with {}`.
These effects make Lux capable of writing real CLI tools and scripts.
