fix(pipeline): run vacuum after dead-stores/dead-locals to fold residue (-1.97% on gale)#101

…ue (-1.97% on gale) PR #99 added the pure_push;Drop peephole to vacuum, but vacuum ran BEFORE dead-stores/dead-locals in the pipeline — so the const+drop pairs those passes create were never folded. Symptom: orphan `i32.const -22; drop` residues in gale-style default-then-override patterns where v0.6.0 PR-B had correctly turned the dead LocalSet into Drop. Fix: add a 'vacuum-final' step at the end of the pipeline that runs vacuum once more. Trades ~tens of milliseconds for the bytes that would otherwise survive. Measured impact on gale_ffi (1.9 KB kernel FFI): baseline: code section 811 bytes v0.5.0 (regression): code section 862 bytes (+6.3%) v0.6.0: code section 804 bytes (-0.86%) v0.6.1 (this): code section 795 bytes (-1.97%) A further -1.1 percentage points from 30 lines of code. Tests (2 new): - test_null_check_before_store_preserved_through_optimization: pins the soundness invariant that v0.4.0 violated (store hoisted above null check). Runs the full v0.6.1 pipeline on the gale sem_count_take shape and asserts i32.eqz precedes i32.store. - test_vacuum_final_folds_const_drop_from_dead_local: pins the pipeline-order fix. Runs eliminate_dead_locals (which inserts Drop) then vacuum (which should fold const+Drop). Asserts both the i32.const and the Drop are gone. Trace: REQ-3, REQ-14

Summary
Closes the trivial pipeline-order gap from PR #99 (v0.6.0):
vacuumran BEFOREdead-storesanddead-locals, so thepure_push;Droppeephole inside vacuum never saw the const+drop pairs those passes create. Adding avacuum-finalstep at the end of the pipeline closes the loop.Measurement on gale_ffi
+1.1 percentage points from 30 LOC — the surfaced from the v0.7.0-planning gale deep-scan agent's "second vacuum sweep" recommendation.

Before (v0.6.0 output on gale func 0):
After (v0.6.1):
Tests (2 new)
test_null_check_before_store_preserved_through_optimization— soundness regression test that pins the v0.4.0-era hoist hole (store reordered above null check on the galesem_count_takeshape) closed by v0.5.0's early-exit guard work. Runs the full v0.6.1 pipeline and assertsi32.eqzprecedesi32.store. The gale deep-scan agent's "Opportunity B" was a v0.4.0 observation; this test pins that it stays fixed.test_vacuum_final_folds_const_drop_from_dead_local— pipeline-order regression. Runseliminate_dead_locals(which insertsDrop), thenvacuum(which should foldconst+Drop). Asserts the const and the Drop are both gone.All 268 loom-core lib tests pass (was 266 before).
