1. Parse
Python source is parsed into an AST.
2. Analyse
AST is scanned for unsupported patterns and type information is inferred.
3. Lower
AST is transformed into Pyvorin intermediate representation.
4. Generate LLVM IR
IR is translated to LLVM intermediate representation.
5. Optimise
LLVM runs optimisation passes based on opt_level.
6. Generate Machine Code
LLVM backend emits native object code for the target CPU.
7. Link
Object files are linked with Pyvorin runtime libraries.
8. Package
Final shared library is packaged as an artifact.
