Description
- provides additional checks, makes sure you dont have definitions in the REPL that are not in the code files (ghost definitions can occur during refactoring code)
Definition: ghost expressions
A term (I think I just made up) for expressions that have been evaluated and are in the current running REPL, but the project files do not contain the code. Those expressions were either only written directly in the REPL or changed / deleted in the source code files.
Relates to #172

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or existing runner; start by locating the project's current test setup and REPL workflow. Define how an external runner should compare project files with the running REPL and verify that it detects ghost definitions without relying on stale REPL state.
