JIT Compiler IR
Document the JIT Compiler IR JNode concept in the wiki.
Value: 5
Concept Summary
Just-In-Time compiler intermediate representation. The JIT Compiler IR provides the foundation for JNode's compilation pipeline, representing Java bytecode in an optimized form that can be efficiently translated to native code.

Skill to Use
Use the [[update-wiki|update-wiki skill]] (load with skill({ name: "update-wiki" })) for understanding JNode internals.
Context Research
Study IR.java and Block.java to understand the intermediate representation structure. Review how bytecode is translated to IR, how optimization is performed, and how native code is generated. Research the relationship between IR and the L1/L2 compilers.

# JIT Compiler IR
> Just-In-Time compiler intermediate representation.
## Overview
2-3 paragraph explanation of the JIT Compiler IR, its role in the compilation pipeline, and how it enables efficient native code generation.
## Key Components
| Class / File | Role |
|---|---|
| `core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/compiler/ir/IR.java` | IR representation |
| `core/src/core/org/jnode/vm/compiler/ir/Block.java` | IR block structure |
## How It Works
Explanation of how IR works, how bytecode is translated to IR, how optimization transforms IR, and how IR is translated to native code.
## Gotchas & Non-Obvious Behavior
- IR must preserve semantics of original bytecode
- Optimization must not break correctness
- Register allocation affects performance
