Document the interpreter's architecture as chapter fourteen
Chapters 1 through 13 describe the language. Nothing described the machine
that runs it, and the answers were spread across header comments, TODO.md
sections written for a different purpose, and the source itself. Somebody
embedding the interpreter, debugging something it did, or adding a verb had
to reconstruct the shape from all three.

docs/14-architecture.md is that shape, and only that: the three targets and
the driver, the single akbasic_Runtime and why nothing is file-scope,
akbasic_runtime_step() unrolled with the reason each stage sits where it
does, the four modes and what set_mode() does beyond assigning, a line's
journey from text through tokens and leaves to a verb handler, the dispatch
table, the pool map with what each exhaustion actually says, environments
doubling as block state, the two kinds of error, devices, and interrupts.

It defers rather than restates. The headers are the authority on every
function's contract and the chapter says so up front; where a rule is subtle
the header comment already states it at more length than a chapter should.
MAINTENANCE.md keeps the conventions and now points here for the mechanism,
so there is still one copy of each.

Two sections are the reason it exists at all. Debugging: reading a TRON trace
as evidence about the loop rather than the lines, reading an akerror stack
trace and what it is not, four breakpoints and the expressions worth printing
at them, narrowing with ctest -R and the mock devices, and a symptom-to-cause
table. Changing it: the verb recipe end to end including the private
src/verbs.h prototype that is easy to miss, the rule that a missing
dependency capability gets filed upstream rather than worked around, and the
five constraints goal 3 puts on any change.

A `text` fence tag comes with it. Every fenced block in docs/ is executed and
an untagged one is a hard error, so six block diagrams had nowhere to live.
The tag means never executed, it is counted in the skip line like `cmake`,
and MAINTENANCE.md documents it -- the alternative was an indented block the
extractor never sees, and a picture nobody decided about is indistinguishable
from a test nobody ran.

tests/docs_examples.sh now makes --root and --basic absolute before it
starts. Both are used from inside a sandbox directory it cd's into, so the
invocation MAINTENANCE.md itself documents -- --root . --basic ./build/basic
-- failed every example with "exited 127" and every setup= with "setup
failed". CTest passes absolute paths and never saw it; running one document
by hand hits it immediately.

Writing the error section turned up a defect and TODO.md section 8 records
it. The ATTEMPT blocks that turn a script's mistake into an error line wrap
parsing and interpretation but not scanning, so a line with more than 32
tokens escapes as an interpreter error: stack trace, exit 1, and at a prompt
the REPL is gone. That is the same shape as section 8 item 2, on a path that
fix did not cover. Not fixed here -- it is a behaviour change and wants its
own tests -- but written down with the three call sites and what would cover
them.

Both configurations stay green: 95/95 and 94/94. docs_examples now runs 37
programs, 9 transcripts, 45 output comparisons, 3 C snippets, 2 excerpts and
2 shell blocks, and skips 9 text blocks.

# Run every example in the documentation and check what it produces.
#
# The guide in docs/ and the walkthrough in README.md are full of programs,
# transcripts, C snippets and shell commands. Every one of them was checked by
# hand once, when it was written, and that is not a standard that survives
# contact with a changing interpreter. Three of them were already wrong when this
# harness was written -- two transcripts carrying a leading space PRINT does not
# emit, and a struct in README.md that had grown two members hours earlier.
#
# Documentation goes stale because the *code* moved, not because somebody edited
# a chapter, so this runs on every ctest rather than on a docs path filter.
#
# **Exit status is the number of failed examples**, the house convention.
#
# The contract with the documentation is a set of fence info strings. They are
# ordinary markdown, they render as syntax highlighting on the forge, and they
# sit next to the thing they describe. MAINTENANCE.md is the reference; the short
# version:
#
# ```basic a whole program: run it, and it must not error
# ```basic repl input lines fed to a fresh interpreter on stdin
# ```basic norun a fragment, shown but not run
# ```basic requires=akgl only run in the -DAKBASIC_WITH_AKGL=ON build
# ```basic requires=noakgl only run in the build with no devices attached
# ```output the exact stdout of the block above, byte for byte
# ```c a translation unit: compile it with -fsyntax-only
# ```c wrap=NAME the same, wrapped in tests/docs_preludes/NAME.pre/.post
# ```c excerpt=PATH must appear verbatim in PATH; not compiled
# ```c norun shown but not compiled
# ```sh run in a sandbox; must exit 0
# ```sh setup=NAME the same, after tests/docs_setups/NAME.sh
# ```sh norun destructive, networked, or re-enters this suite
# ```cmake never executed; hand-maintained, by decision
# ```text a diagram or a captured dump; there is nothing to execute
#
# A block with **no** info string is a hard error. That is deliberate: the
# failure mode this whole harness exists to avoid is passing because it quietly
# ran nothing, so an unannotated block is a missing decision rather than a
# default.
