/**
 * @file load_const.c
 * @brief Implements the OP_LOAD_CONST opcode for loading constants in the VM.
 *
 * This file handles the OP_LOAD_CONST instruction, which loads a constant value
 * from the bytecode's constant pool onto the stack.
 *
 * Behavior:
 * - operand is index into constant pool
 * - Pushes copy of constant onto stack
 *
 * Error Handling:
 * - Exits if invalid constant index
