Subject: [PATCH] Fix last SKIP control flow in scalar context
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add registry check after each statement in simple labeled blocks (≤3 statements)
to handle non-local control flow like 'last SKIP' through function calls.

The check:
- Only applies to labeled blocks without loop constructs
- Checks RuntimeControlFlowRegistry after each statement
- Jumps to nextLabel if matching control flow detected
- Limited to simple blocks to avoid ASM VerifyError

Results:
- skip_control_flow.t: all 3 tests pass ✓
- make: BUILD SUCCESSFUL ✓
- Baseline maintained: 66683/66880 tests passing in perl5_t/t/uni/variables.t ✓
