fix: account for generator handler allocations

[TheUncharted]

Summary

Follow up on CodeRabbit's resource-accounting comment on PR #61. Charge try-handler and generator suspension bookkeeping against the sandbox allocation budget before growing the associated collections.

Resource-limit failures are now terminal host errors rather than catchable guest exceptions, preventing execution from continuing after a rejected generator save or restore leaves partially consumed state.

Changes

• Add atomic, overflow-safe bulk allocation accounting to ResourceTracker.
• Charge SetupTry before growing the VM try-handler stack.
• Preflight generator handler restoration before reconstructing handler state.
• Charge saved handlers, suspended operand-stack slots, and handler-map entries before generator suspension allocations.
• Propagate memory, time, stack, and allocation limit failures past guest try/catch.
• Enforce max_stack_depth before allocating fresh or resumed generator frame state.
• Add exact-boundary regressions for generator restore accounting, terminal stack-overflow behavior, and both generator activation paths.

Test plan

• Error-handling suite passes (19 passed)
• Generator suite passes (14 passed)
• Security suite passes (65 passed, 1 pre-existing ignored)
• Full core suite passes (cargo test -p zapcode-core)
• Strict lint passes (cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings)
• Formatting and diff checks pass
• Independent security review approved
• CI passes

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The VM now uses checked, counted allocation tracking for try handlers and suspended generators. Memory, time, stack, and allocation limit errors bypass guest try/catch handling. Tests cover direct, generator, and recursive execution.

Changes

Resource limit enforcement

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Checked allocation accounting crates/zapcode-core/src/sandbox.rs, crates/zapcode-core/src/vm/mod.rs	ResourceTracker now supports counted allocations with overflow detection. The VM charges allocations for try handlers and suspended generator state.
Fatal resource-limit error handling crates/zapcode-core/src/vm/mod.rs	Resource-limit errors are excluded from guest try/catch handling and propagate as fatal errors.
Resource-limit behavior tests crates/zapcode-core/tests/error_handling.rs	Tests cover allocation-limit errors in direct and nested generator execution, plus stack overflow during recursion.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 8156f

Nested generator execution can bypass the configured stack-depth limit, allowing guest code to recurse beyond sandbox bounds and potentially exhaust host-process resources. Add the stack-limit check for generator activation and a regression test before merging.

Resolved in 7b29b9f after reproducing the finding locally.

Both generator activation paths now call check_stack() immediately after push_frame() and before allocating locals, restored operand-stack values, or the CallFrame.

Added bounded coverage for both paths:

• fresh generator with max_stack_depth: 0 returns StackOverflow;
• suspended generator resumed from a normal function with max_stack_depth: 1 returns StackOverflow at depth 2.

Validation passed: 14 generator tests, 19 error-handling tests, 65 active security tests, rustfmt, strict all-target Clippy, and independent security review.
