PR #1448: Compile-Time Array Bounds Checking

I’m glad to share that my pull request to Guppy, an open-source quantum programming language from Quantinuum, has been merged!

In PR #1448, I implemented compile-time bounds checking for Guppy arrays when the array size and index are statically known. This allows out-of-bounds errors to be caught during compilation rather than at runtime, giving developers immediate feedback on array indexing issues and helping them fix bugs earlier.

The work involved extending the existing compilation pipeline, integrating with Guppy’s type system and error-reporting patterns, and adding comprehensive tests. During development, this also uncovered two existing bugs in the test suite.

Thanks to the maintainers at Quantinuum for the thorough code reviews and feedback throughout the process.
