/**
 * @file zip.c
 * @brief Implements the OP_ZIP opcode for array zipping in the VM.
 *
 * This file handles the OP_ZIP instruction, which combines two arrays into
 * an array of pairs (subarrays with two elements).
 *
 * Behavior:
 * - Pops two arrays from the stack
 * - Creates new array of [a[i],b[i]] pairs
 * - Length is minimum of input array lengths
 * - Pushes resulting array onto stack
 *
 * Error Handling:
 * - Exits with error if arguments aren't arrays
 *
 * Example:
 * - Bytecode: OP_ZIP
 * - Stack before: [[1,2], ['a','b']]
 * - Stack after: [[[1,'a'], [2,'b']]]
