docs: archive the frozen stage code as one compressed tarball
docs/history kept six stages with a full copy of the project under code/, 3.8 mb of sources duplicated from stage to stage and already superseded. store them as docs/history/code-snapshots.tar.gz, 0.66 mb, and extract one in place to read it. every stage's notes.md stays browsable, and the index says where the code went and how to get it back. the top-level README points at the archive too. its other two links into docs/history, 21-micro and 35-bench, were notes that were never kept and do not resolve; the index now records that.

a small stack cpu began as a C89 code golf entry and became a self-hosting runtime. a native core runs vm code with an arm64 jit, through llvm on supported builds, or in the interpreter. the genome contains a compiler for zc, a C-like language with forth influences. the compiler resides in vm memory alongside the program; code can call its functions, modify its tables, add syntax, and compile new code at runtime. heap objects carry an ownership tag (u, m or d) checked by a static analyzer, with deterministic frees at scope ends and a mark-sweep collector underneath. types are a compiler primitive, with structs, generics, reflection and an optional typechecker. programs can install up to 512 custom opcodes (virtual enhancements), which the jits inline as native code. code marked `o3` bypasses the stack machine: the core compiles the region as a unit and keeps its variables in registers.
-this folder has the latest code. `docs/LEARN.md` is a tour of the language. `docs/history/` is the scrapbook: notes for every stage, plus frozen code from the stages that still have it.
