// GasBudget is the unified gas-state structure used throughout the EVM.

//   - UsedRegularGas / UsedStateGas: per-frame accumulators tracking gross
//     consumption. UsedStateGas is signed so it can be decremented by inline
//     state-gas refunds (e.g., SSTORE 0->A->0).
//
// The same struct serves three roles:
//
//   - During execution: Charge / ChargeRegular / ChargeState / RefundState
//     and RefundRegular mutate the running balance and the usage accumulators
//     in lockstep.
//
//   - At frame exit: Preserved / ExitSuccess / ExitRevert / ExitHalt /
//     ExitFromErr produce a new GasBudget in "leftover" form that packages
//     the result for the caller.
//
//   - At absorption: the caller's Absorb method merges the child's leftover
//     budget into its own running budget.
