/**
 * switch.h - Cooperative VM context switch (FABRIC-3.md §XXVIII, Stage 2,
 * 2026-09-13).
 *
 * sk_vm_context_switch() suspends `from`'s execution exactly where it is
 * (mid-C-call-stack, on from's own native stack -- Stage 1) and resumes
 * `to` -- either for the first time ever (a synthesized initial frame,
 * entering sk_vm_switch_entry()) or exactly where `to` was itself last
 * switched out. Returns to the caller only once something later switches
 * back to `from` -- from from's own point of view, this call simply
 * takes a while to return, like any blocking call.
 *
 * Cooperative only: nothing here is interrupt-driven yet (that's Stage
 * 3), so this is safe to call only from ordinary FORTH word dispatch,
 * never from ISR context.
