Description

CORE.NEW_HEAP should raise an exception if total heap cannot be allocated

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find the implementation of CORE.NEW HEAP in the ELENA core source code (likely in C++). Determine how heap allocation is performed and add a conditional check to raise an exception (e.g., throw or return error) when allocation fails. Look at other existing error handling patterns in the codebase for consistency.
