Description
Summary
Implement the Stage 3 TC39 proposal: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-iterator-chunking
Add both lazy helpers with current size/options validation, partial-chunk, overlapping-window, exhaustion, return, and abrupt-completion semantics.
Why
This proposal fits GocciaScript's modern ECMAScript surface and the 0.13.0 proposal roadmap. It should extend the engine's existing architecture rather than arrive as a userland shim.
Current behavior
Lazy Iterator Helper infrastructure exists, but chunks and windows are absent.
Expected behavior
Add both lazy helpers with current size/options validation, partial-chunk, overlapping-window, exhaustion, return, and abrupt-completion semantics.
Scope notes
Reuse Iterator.Lazy and established re-entrancy/GC patterns; infinite inputs must stay lazy. Add proposal tests, docs, and inventory. Additive API: no feature flag.
Related bytecode roadmap: #871 and #875. Update relevant documentation and the Goccia proposal inventory. Use the current proposal specification at implementation time; add focused project tests and matching pinned Test262/proposal coverage without regressions.
Acceptance criteria
- Parser/API surface, descriptors, evaluation order, errors, and protocol behavior match the current proposal.
- Implementation uses the identified shared engine seam without a duplicate compatibility shim.
- Focused positive, negative, abrupt-completion, and edge-case tests cover the proposal.
- Relevant project suites, pinned Test262 cases, formatting, and documentation checks pass.

Research direction
Start with the existing Iterator.Lazy infrastructure and the current TC39 iterator-chunking proposal. Trace the shared engine seam and established re-entrancy/GC patterns, then use focused project tests and pinned Test262/proposal cases to cover validation, laziness, protocol completion, and edge cases. Done means both helpers, documentation, and the Goccia proposal inventory are updated and relevant suites and checks pass.
