Add FFI lowering for newly accepted scalar type codes
For VARIANT_BOOL ('v') and Windows BSTR ('X'), this default arm now accepts ordinary Python values and returns typed C arguments, but ffi_value_from_type_code in crates/host_env/src/ctypes.rs has no arm for either code and falls through to FfiValue::Pointer(0). Consequently, a foreign function with VARIANT_BOOL in argtypes receives false for True, and a nonzero BSTR address is passed as NULL; these raw inputs previously raised TypeError. Add the corresponding FFI lowering or exclude these codes from the generic path so successful conversion cannot silently discard the value.

Reverse only the scalar-width prefix in the swapped getter.
The setter now keeps a resized tail, but value still reverses the whole buffer. The first bytes that decode_type_code reads then come from the zero tail, so a grown swapped scalar reads back 0.
let buffer_data: alloc::borrow::Cow<'_, [u8]> = if swapped {
- // Reverse bytes for swapped endian types
+ // Reverse only the scalar prefix; keep any resized tail.
+ let width = cls.stg_info(vm)?.size.min(buffer.len());
let mut swapped_bytes = buffer.to_vec();
- swapped_bytes.reverse();
+ swapped_bytes[..width].reverse();

Allocate Windows BSTR values with SysAllocStringLen and decode their explicit length, preserving embedded NULs and UTF-16 surrogates. Guard unpublished allocations and free previous values only when committing scalar, field, array or pointer assignments. Preserve raw-copy and COM ownership-transfer semantics instead of attaching destructor ownership. Route BSTR foreign-call values and callbacks as pointers, preserve callback subclass pointer identity, and report callback conversion errors. Add host regression coverage for pointer lowering and Windows allocation/replacement. Assisted-by: OpenAI Codex:model version not exposed

Initialize failed BSTR callback results to NULL
On Windows, when a BSTR callback returns an unsupported value (or BSTR allocation fails), this arm reports the exception but never writes to result; thunk_callback then returns the same undefined libffi result slot to native code. The caller can therefore receive a garbage BSTR pointer and crash when it reads or frees it, so this error path should explicitly store a NULL pointer.

Free committed BSTRs when no ctypes value owns them.
Committed BSTRs are freed only when a later assignment replaces them. Discarded temporary X scalars and X.from_param(str) arguments never free their BSTR, because no owner remains. Track the allocation on the owning value and free it on drop, unless ownership moves to a foreign call.

Track BSTR ownership before freeing a replaced slot value.
BStr::replace frees the previous slot value without checking ownership. Slots filled by from_buffer_copy or from_address can hold pointers owned by another object or by foreign memory. Assigning a string to such a slot calls SysFreeString on that pointer. This causes use-after-free, double free, or a crash.

instructions embedded in them. Verify each finding against current code. Fix
only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
