Compile-time implementation of syntax-quote proved too complex for the current emission pipeline (qualified symbol handling across both string and data-structure paths). These ops require runtime context (var lookup, field mutation, deftype construction) and are now correctly routed to the interpreter via the stateful? check in eval-string. Also fixed: - raw-form->janet handles namespace-qualified symbols correctly - emit-quote-str and emit-quote-expr use raw-form->janet consistently - Duplicate function definitions removed All 317 tests pass, 0 failures.

When you need to mutate a local with `set`, use `(var x nil)` not `(def x nil)`. `def` creates constants — `(set ns-name ...)` on a `def` fails with "cannot set constant". This hit us in loader.janet ns-name extraction loop.

core-renames MUST match actual function names in core.janet. `"-"`→`core-sub` NOT `core--`. `"fn?"` was missing entirely (caused silent nil). Missing entries → symbol treated as unknown global, returns nil. When adding: grep core.janet for actual `(defn core-XXX)` name, add to BOTH core-renames (string table) and core-fn-values (fn value table).

Bare tuples in Janet's `eval` are function calls: `(eval [1 2 3])` tries to call `1` as function. Always emit `['tuple 1 2 3]` or `(tuple 1 2 3)` in data-structure emitter. Similarly, `(eval (try body (sym handler)))` fails because `catch` is not a Janet special form — must be `(try body ([sym] handler))`. Discovered during Phase 5/6 compiler work.
