selfhost: retire dotchain bundle workaround (closes #17)
dotchain struct + bundle pre-declares retired. dotchainresolve now takes 6 direct out-params; per-iter locals declared inline. Bootstrap ww2==ww3==ww4 byte-identical — end-to-end validation of session's N_DOT / N_INDEX / TK_AMP / fldloadop fixes. i64 widths retained on out-params via task #19 workaround (i32 deref- stores leave caller slot upper 4B stale, MOVQ reads zero-extend to garbage). Documented in selfhost/CLAUDE.md active-workarounds.

1. **`amalloc(n)` with n < struct size silently corrupts neighbours.** No error — the bump arena hands out n bytes and field writes overflow into the next record. When introducing or growing a struct, audit every `amalloc(_, n)` call site and over-size (we routinely pass 48 for a 40-byte struct). Symptom: linked-list prepends lose all but the most recent entry.

2. **Out-param `*p: *i32` deref-stores leave caller slot's upper 4 bytes stale.** `*p = v` lowers to MOVL (4B), but the caller's 8B slot was zero-init via MOVQ; a later i64-widening read emits MOVQ (8B raw) and zero-extends, so a negative i32 round-trips as a 4G-rooted positive i64. Default to `*i64` out-params for offsets / signed indices until task #19 lands. Symptom: garbage frame offsets like `MOVL AX, 4294967280(BP)` in stage-2 asm.
