Koru compiler lands prototype mode

The Koru programming language has introduced a new [prototype] annotation that allows developers to compile and run incomplete programs by relaxing compiler exhaustiveness checks. Missing branches are replaced with runtime panic holes, while a compile-time guard prevents prototype code from being compiled into production builds.

// ANALYSIS

Relying on compiler-enforced prototyping with runtime panics is a major improvement over writing throwaway discard-branches, which frequently leak silent bugs into production. Preventing prototype builds from being shipped via compile-time guards makes this approach both practical and safe.

–Bypasses the "stub anti-pattern" where developers write lazy wildcard handlers to satisfy exhaustiveness checks.
–Guarantees safety by programmatically blocking prototype-marked files from production builds.
–Implements a loud, immediate runtime failure (panic) rather than introducing silent, incorrect behaviors in incomplete flows.
