Description
Our current interpreter assumes standardness rules and will fail when one is violated during evaluation (e.g. a non-null invalid signature, or a non-minimal if). Would be good if we could recover from these but somehow indicate to the user that something is wrong.
Probably ought to be prototyped in Esplora.

Research direction
Start by reading the current interpreter behavior and the proposed Esplora prototype area. Define which standardness violations should be recoverable and how the interpreter will indicate them without failing evaluation. Done means the scope and user-visible behavior are specified well enough to prototype and test.
