Scalability Guide
Invisible code becomes hard to maintain
Large programs require tool support
Label organization critical
Stack/heap interactions scale
Interpreter handles large files fine
Migration Guide
Preserve tabs/spaces exactly
Avoid editors that auto-trim
Use hex editor to confirm bytes
Test tokens after migration
Use diff tools that show whitespace
