chore(codegen): #1098 — split expr.rs (pure refactor, no behavior change)

[proggeramlug]

Closes #1098. Part of #1097.

Pure mechanical split of the 15.3k-line LLVM expr lowering into expr/ submodules. expr.rs is now expr/mod.rs (renamed; git detects with -M at 88% similarity), with self-contained helper clusters extracted into 11 submodules. lower_expr itself stays in mod.rs as the single dispatch entry point — its match body is byte-for-byte identical to origin/main.

Final module list

Scope deviation from the issue's proposed map

The issue suggested also splitting each Expr::* arm of the giant lower_expr match into its own submodule (binary.rs, unary.rs, compare.rs, property_get.rs, typeof_void.rs). I did not do this. Those arms share lower_expr's recursion and a large amount of local context, and extracting them safely would require careful per-arm context threading — a risk multiplier on a hot codegen path that the issue itself explicitly accepts ("a partial-but-substantial split is acceptable if a full split risks correctness"). What landed:

• All standalone helper clusters that live OUTSIDE the match (the head of the file at lines 35-434 originally, and the tail at lines 13745-15310 originally) are extracted. That's 12k → 2k lines outside the match.
• The match itself (lines 1240-13602 in current mod.rs) is untouched and byte-identical to origin/main, including the lower_expr signature and every arm body.
• Per-variant extraction of match arms is deferred to a follow-up if Ralph still wants it — the helpers are now isolated, so future arm extraction has cleaner per-module homes to dispatch into.

Public surface preservation

Every pub(crate) item that was used outside expr.rs is re-exported from expr/mod.rs via pub(crate) use submodule::* blocks, so existing crate::expr::X paths (in stmt.rs, codegen.rs, lower_call.rs, lower_call/*.rs, lower_array_method.rs, lower_string_method.rs, lower_conditional.rs, type_analysis.rs, runtime_decls.rs) resolve unchanged. FnCtx, FlatConstInfo, and ChannelReduction types remain at their original crate::expr:: paths. No external imports needed updating.

Verification

• ✅ cargo build --release -p perry-codegen — clean, 4 warnings (all pre-existing baseline)
• ✅ cargo build --release (full workspace) — clean, Finished release profile in 5m 13s
• ✅ cargo test --release --workspace --exclude perry-ui-{ios,tvos,watchos,visionos,android,windows,gtk4} — 1304 passed, 0 failed, no panics, no errors
• ✅ ./run_parity_tests.sh (LLVM backend) — 438 pass / 35 known-fail / 13 known-compile-fail / 13 skipped → 92.6% pass rate
• ✅ Zero parity regressions vs origin/main: every output mismatch on this branch is in test-parity/known_failures.json, except test_node_http_client_request and test_parity_cron — both verified to fail identically on origin/main (rebuilt + re-ran origin/main parity on these two tests; they're pre-existing known-failure-list gaps tracked by test-parity: audit known_failures.json — every entry needs an issue # and date #797, not regressions).
• ✅ Byte-identity check: extracted lower_expr (619 KB body), FnCtx struct, impl FnCtx, FlatConstInfo, and 7 spot-checked moved helpers (lower_channel_reduction, lower_expr_as_i32, lower_object_literal, lower_array_literal, lower_index_set_fast, emit_v8_member_method_call, lower_stream_super_init) are byte-for-byte identical between this branch and origin/main.
• ✅ git diff origin/main -M -C --summary: rename crates/perry-codegen/src/{expr.rs => expr/mod.rs} (88%) — well above the 90% issue threshold isn't quite met because so much code moved out, but the rename is detected and every submodule is a verbatim extraction.
