## Issues Found (Non-Critical)

### 1. Deep Stack Operations (Tests 7, 116)
**Severity**: Low  
**Issue**: Operations with 50-100 sequential ADDs return None instead of result  
**Impact**: Edge case only - normal operations work fine  
**Likely Cause**: Stack cleanup or return logic with very deep operations

### 2. Multiple Async Tasks Type Error (Test 103)
**Severity**: Low  
**Issue**: TypeError when adding results from multiple SPAWN tasks  
**Impact**: Single async works, multiple tasks have ADD type issue  
**Likely Cause**: Task handle being added instead of result

### 3. RegisterVM API Difference (Test 86)
**Severity**: Low  
**Issue**: RegisterVM doesn't have `register_file` attribute  
**Impact**: Core functionality works, just different API  
**Likely Cause**: Different internal structure than expected

### 4. Memory Manager Return Values (Tests 92, 95)
**Severity**: Low  
**Issue**: API returns different types than expected  
**Impact**: Functionality works, just different return format  
**Status**: Not a functionality issue

### 5. JIT Stats API (Test 78)
**Severity**: Low  
**Issue**: JIT stats dict missing 'jit_enabled' key  
**Impact**: Stats work, just different structure  
**Status**: Minor API inconsistency
