feat: declare module permissions

Establishes the one canonical PermissionDeclaration contract
(packages/contracts/src/authorization.ts) — id/baseline/description,
strict, unknown-property-rejecting — consumed by both Core's
authorization registry and module manifests, replacing Core's
previously separate interface.

Bumps the canonical module manifest to manifestVersion 3: permissions
become complete declarations instead of bare identifier strings, with
manifest-owned namespace and duplicate-id enforcement. Version 2 and
bare string-array permissions are rejected outright; there is no
compatibility adapter.

Adds composePlatformPermissionRegistry (core/src/modules/permissions.ts),
a pure, synchronous composer that builds one platform permission
registry from Core's own declarations plus every already-discovered
module's, in deterministic order, reusing createPermissionRegistry
and rejecting any module-contributed permission in the reserved
core.* namespace. core/src/authorization remains independent of
core/src/modules; only the module integration layer depends on
authorization.

Updates the module template, module-development docs, authorization
docs, and existing manifest fixtures for manifestVersion 3. Does not
wire the combined registry into apps/api — that is pass 2.

module release. Capability dependencies use semantic-version ranges. Optional means the provider
may be absent; if it is installed, its capability version must be compatible.
`manifestVersion: 3` (`packages/contracts/src/module-manifest.ts`) is a required, exact literal — a
version 2 manifest, and any other version, fails validation outright rather than being silently
reinterpreted; there is no compatibility adapter or automatic migration between manifest versions.
Each `permissions` entry is a complete declaration, not a bare identifier string: `id` (must begin
with `<module-id>.`, exactly like a capability id), `baseline` (`public`, `authenticated`, or
`restricted` — see [Authorization](../development/authorization.md#permission-registry) for what
each baseline means to the evaluator), and a required, non-blank `description` up to 240 characters
for operators and audit review only — Core's authorization layer never reads or interprets it.
Declaring a permission here is necessary but not sufficient for it to be enforceable: the manifest
only proves the declaration is well-formed and namespaced correctly, and does not itself register
anything with Core's authorization registry (see
[Authorization](../development/authorization.md#module-permission-composition) for how Core composes
every discovered module's declarations, alongside its own, into the one platform permission
registry). A duplicate permission id within one manifest, or a permission id outside the module's
own namespace, fails validation the same way a duplicate or misnamed capability id does.
Server and optional schema entrypoints must be compiled ESM `.js` or `.mjs` files. The optional
migration entrypoint is a directory. All entrypoints begin with `./`, remain inside the package,
and exist. Production never imports source TypeScript directly. Modules with no tables omit
