ProvableHQ/leo [Bug] Compiler panic in SSA const propagation: `ParseIntError { kind: PosOverflow }` on element write to array of size > 256 with `u8` index

Original task statement excerpt

[Bug] Compiler panic in SSA const propagation: `ParseIntError { kind: PosOverflow }` on element write to array of size > 256 with `u8` index
The compiler panics with `Parsing guarantees this works.: ParseIntError { kind: PosOverflow }` in [`ast/src/const_eval/evaluate.rs` `literal_to_value`](https://github.com/ProvableHQ/leo/blob/7e6b2a1ad7/crates/ast/src/const_eval/evaluate.rs) when an array element write `t[i] = v` is performed on an array whose length exceeds 256 and the index `i` is typed `u8`. The SSA const propagation pass synthesizes a literal in the index type whose value cannot be represented in `u8`.

MRE:
```leo
program test.aleo {
    fn foo(t: [u8; 257]) -> [u8; 257] {
        t[0u8] = 1u8;
        return t;
    }
}
```

Reproduce: create a minimal `program.json` (`"program": "test.aleo"`), save the MRE as `src/main.leo`, run `leo build`.

Output:
```
thread 'main' panicked at crates/ast/src/const_eval/evaluate.rs:
Parsing guarantees this works.: ParseIntError { kind: PosOverflow }
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
```

Expected behavior: type checking emits a diagnostic (e.g., `index type too narrow for array length`), or SSA uses an index-type-agnostic representation, instead of panicking.
