rajamesandClaude Opus 5.5 092036c97a feat(v4.0.0): call-free D+ (D-2 stack headroom)
D+ as written in 5.7 was exact but kept two cells on the return stack
while calling U> -> SWAP/U<, leaving its caller one return entry: any
word calling a word that calls D+ (M+, D-, D=, Q.+, Q.-) would have a
return address silently overwritten.

The new D+ makes no calls. Both high cells wait on the return stack; the
carry out of the low-cell add comes from sign tests -- if the low cells'
top bits differ, there is a carry exactly when the sum's top bit is
clear; if they match, exactly when both are set.

Headroom (data cells under args / return entries): 4/1 -> 6/5.
Checked against C over all 50625 edge-vector quadruples and 20000
pseudo-random pairs (weighted to top-bit cases and low sums wrapping to
0), at 32- and 64-bit cells, optimised and ASan+UBSan. Retargeting each
of the four carry branches fails more than 13000 checks.
