// passRegDead eliminates dead stores to REGISTER variables.
// Two-phase approach:
// 1. Global pre-scan: if no instruction reads regVar anywhere in the input,
// all stores to that variable are provably dead (labels are irrelevant).
// 2. Per-store local scan: for variables that DO have at least one read,
// scan forward through the current basic block.
//
// This is safe because REGISTER variables have a contract: nothing external
// can observe their memory location (ASM/Script/Macro references are compile errors).
