Timothy J. Aveni 52803dda05 Implement capability generics, checked package specializations and CRUD scaffolding
Add kinded parameters, capability bounds, Self, aliases and closed application identities. Check generic implementations universally and build candidate-specific codecs and descriptors from immutable schemas. Preserve lexical aliases and exact dispatch identities in package and host bindings.

Add an imperative CRUD+index domain scaffold with explicit soft-deletion semantics, source/codegen regression coverage, installed CLI tests and an authoring guide. Existing Web Studio opaque props and class-level create-menu migration are separate from the implemented language core.
