Description

The current test infrastructure fails in a couple ways:

- Not every instruction variant in use in SMO is covered, due to the way instructions were selected from the binaries
- There's a lot of overlap where nothing changes but register numbers
- Everything crashes after ~20 tests

Research direction

Start by reproducing the current test infrastructure failures described in the issue. Investigate how instruction variants are selected from binaries, where equivalent register-number cases overlap, and why runs crash after about 20 tests. Done means broader instruction coverage, less redundant testing, and a test run that continues past 20 cases.
