+TEST #7: Self-Modifying Code
+=============================
+Write a program that modifies its own instructions in memory,
+then executes the modified code correctly.
+
+A skeptic would demand: "Prove your CPU handles self-modification.
+Show instruction fetch after memory write sees the new value."
+
+This test implements a simple Von Neumann architecture simulation
+using threshold circuits for all operations.
