schemelike-metacircular-eval

Guide for implementing metacircular evaluators—interpreters that can interpret themselves. This skill should be used when building self-interpreting Scheme-like evaluators, debugging multi-level interpretation issues, or implementing language features like environments, closures, and special forms. Focuses on incremental development, continuous metacircular testing, and systematic debugging of nested interpretation failures.
