-# PR-7.4 — YIELD Instruction
-
-## Briefing
-
-YIELD voluntarily gives up execution.
-
-## Target
-
-Opcode:
-
-`YIELD`
-
-Semantics:
-
-* Current coroutine moves to end of ready queue.
-* Scheduler selects next coroutine at safepoint.
-
-Switching must occur only at FRAME_SYNC.
-
-## Checklist
-
-* [ ] YIELD opcode implemented.
-* [ ] Current coroutine enqueued.
-* [ ] No mid-instruction switching.
-
-## Tests
-
-* Two coroutines yielding alternate deterministically.
-
-## Junie Rules
-
-You MAY modify VM execution loop.
-You MUST NOT allow switching outside safepoints.
-
