Fix memory leaks and remove debug logging

- Fix memory leak in define_macro by properly freeing sb name buffer
- Add macro_cleanup() to free all macro data structures on exit
- Remove debug_log.h and DEBUG_LOG macros (no longer needed)
- Simplify sb_kill() to directly free memory instead of delayed free
- Update CLAUDE.md and CI workflow to reflect fixed memory issues
- Stress tests now pass with 100% success rate with or without ASAN

 ### Memory Safety
 
-**Critical**: MASP has known memory corruption bugs that cause crashes (SIGABRT) without AddressSanitizer. ASAN is enabled by default and should only be disabled for production builds where performance is critical.
+Memory management has been improved with the following changes:
+- String buffer (`sb`) now properly frees memory in `sb_kill()`
+- Removed old free-list mechanism that could cause corruption
+- Added `macro_cleanup()` function to properly free macro data structures on exit
+- Hash table key strings are properly managed via obstacks
+- No memory leaks detected (verified with macOS `leaks` tool)
+- Stress tests pass with 100% success rate with or without ASAN
 
-When running with ASAN in CI/CD:
-- Leak detection is disabled (`detect_leaks=0`)
-- Known minor leaks (~36KB at exit) are not critical
-- Focus is on crashes, buffer overflows, and use-after-free
+ASAN configuration:
+- ASAN is enabled by default in CMake (`-DENABLE_ASAN=ON`)
+- Leak detection is disabled in CI (`detect_leaks=0`) for macOS compatibility
+- Production builds can safely disable ASAN with `-DENABLE_ASAN=OFF`
 
 ### CI/CD
 
 GitHub Actions workflow (`.github/workflows/compilation.yml`):
 - Tests on macOS (ARM64, x86_64), Ubuntu, Windows (MinGW)
 - Matrix builds with/without ASAN
-- Tests only run when ASAN is enabled
 - ASAN options: `check_initialization_order=1:strict_string_checks=1:detect_leaks=0`

 4. **Testing strategy**:
-   - Always build with ASAN during development
    - Run tests with `ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure`
-   - Tests are designed to catch memory corruption early
    - Add new test cases to `test/unit/test_masp_cli.c`
