/**
 * @file load_local.c
 * @brief Implements the OP_LOAD_LOCAL opcode for loading local variables in the VM.
 *
 * This file handles the OP_LOAD_LOCAL instruction, which loads a local variable
 * onto the stack using its index.
 *
 * Behavior:
 * - Loads the local variable at the specified index.
 * - Pushes the value onto the stack.
 *
 * Error Handling:
 * - Exits with an error if the index is out of bounds.
 *
 * Example:
 * - Bytecode: OP_LOAD_LOCAL 0
 * - Stack before: []
 * - Stack after: [local_value]
