```

### Coverage
- **Total Tests**: 224+
- **Pass Rate**: 100%
- **Execution Time**: ~0.1s
- **Status**: ✅ All Green

## 🔐 Security Model

### Default-Deny Policy
- Untrusted code starts with **zero capabilities**
- Capabilities must be explicitly granted
- All I/O operations require permission
- VFS provides additional sandboxing

### Trusted Code Path
- Explicitly configured with AllowAllPolicy
- Full access to filesystem, network, etc.
- Used for core language operations
- Faster execution (no capability checks)

### Capability Categories
```
core.*             Core language features
io.*              File I/O operations
network.*         Network access
plugin.*          Plugin system access
type.*            Type system access
```

## 📈 Performance

### Optimization Framework
- **5 Optimization Passes**: Constantly improving code quality
- **Bytecode Compilation**: Faster execution than AST walking
- **Function Profiling**: Identifies hot paths automatically
- **Smart Inlining**: Optimizes frequently called functions

### Benchmarks

```

## 🎓 Examples

### Example 1: Secure Code Execution

```python
from zexus.evaluator.integration import EvaluationContext

# Create untrusted execution context
ctx = EvaluationContext("untrusted_plugin")
ctx.setup_for_untrusted_code()

# User plugin runs with:
# • NO file I/O (blocked)
# • NO network access (blocked)
# • NO type system modification (blocked)
# • Only core language operations allowed
```

### Example 2: Plugin with Hooks

```python
from zexus.evaluator.integration import PluginHookHandler

# Register hooks
def my_hook(data):
    print(f"Hook triggered: {data}")

pm = ctx.integration.plugin_manager
pm.register_hook("custom.event", my_hook)

# Trigger hooks
PluginHookHandler.before_action_call("my_func", {"arg": 42})
```

### Example 3: Type System

```python
from zexus.evaluator.integration import TypeSystemHandler

# Type inference
type_int = TypeSystemHandler.infer_type(42)
type_str = TypeSystemHandler.infer_type("hello")

# Type checking
valid = TypeSystemHandler.check_type(42, "int")  # True
```

### Example 4: Advanced Types

```python
from zexus.evaluator.integration import AdvancedTypeHandler

class MyIterable:
    def __iter__(self): return iter([1, 2, 3])

# Check trait implementation
is_iterable = AdvancedTypeHandler.check_trait(
    MyIterable(), "Iterable"
)  # True
```
