fix: proper struct field access with context-aware unwrapping
- Fix nested struct field access (e.g., config.Settings.Debug) by unwrapping intermediate fields - Add context-aware field unwrapping: unwrap in RValue context, keep wrapped in LValue - Fix boolean/nil literals in struct literals - wrap instead of clone - Fix promoted fields through embedded structs to unwrap properly - Fix field access on range loop variables - Remove redundant unwrapping in print statements These changes fix the simple_embedding and type_embedding tests, bringing the test pass rate from 42 to 44 out of 132 tests (33.3%).
