140. Eor absolute y

add EOR absolute,Y opcode ``0x59``.

Lesson 140 of 356 · tests/chapter_01_cpu/test_140_EOR_absolute_y.py

Why this step exists

The Y-indexed absolute opcode provides the corresponding EOR data-access form without creating a second implementation of accumulator or flag behavior.

In this step, following lesson 139, add exactly the following to `emulator/cpu/opcodes.py`:

def eor_absolute_y(cpu: CPU):
    addr = absolute_y(cpu)
    value = cpu.bus.read(addr)
    or_e(cpu, value)

OPCODE_TABLE = {
    ...
    0x59: eor_absolute_y,
}

`emulator/cpu/addressing_modes.py::absolute_y fetches the little-endian base word and then adds Y; this helper does not apply an additional & 0xFFFF mask. The handler reads the indexed location and calls instructions.or_e`. A and Z/N may change; Carry/Overflow, memory, X, and Y remain invariant; PC advances three bytes.

Misconception: Y indexes the decoded address, not either encoded byte. Out of scope: EOR (indirect,X)/(indirect),Y (141-142) and BIT (143-145).
