Zachery Aaron Shores-Chmielewski b887e941cb feat(engine): substrate-neutral execution engine abstraction
Introduce the swactor engine: a swactor-owned composite that retains a
selected execution substrate, drives the core runtime, and hosts the
async/blocking/timer work that backs actors. Integrations receive one
cloneable EngineHandle and never construct or borrow a raw Tokio
runtime/handle.

Engine crate (crates/engine):
- The contract: spawn / spawn_blocking / timer / interval / now, a
  per-implementation capability model with construction-time binding
  (require()), and engine-owned time. The engine owns all progression;
  actor handlers stay synchronous and never .await.
- TokioBackend owns the Tokio runtime and schedules core ticks and
  supporting futures on it; SteppingBackend is a single-threaded
  deterministic scheduler with virtual time (the non-Tokio portability
  proof). Core is driven through its existing tick() surface; a
  self-rescheduling CoreDriver is installed at construction and is the
  sole place permitted to call try_tick.

iroh-driver:
- Receives an EngineHandle instead of a raw Tokio Handle. Accepts,
  reads, dials, writes, endpoint construction, and teardown schedule
  through it; required capabilities (tasks/timers/io) are validated
  before the endpoint binds. Engine-hosted interval pumps drive
  actor-bridge, datastream, and edge ingress.

myelin:
- One node/orchestrator engine owns core, protocol tick injection, and
  transport progression; the application loop only drains
  integration-owned queues. Stage-shard process readers, delayed actor
  messages, helper stdout/stderr, prompt RPC, and CPU sampling all
  schedule through the engine (spawn_blocking / engine tasks / timers).
- Removed the split-engine APIs: install_actor_bridge_pump(period) and
  spawn_protocol_ticker(period) use each component's stored engine;
  deleted the no-op pump_network callback and its plumbing; deleted the
  dashboard raw-Tokio/standalone-runtime conveniences.

Enforcement:
- A clippy disallowed-methods boundary forbids direct runtime/scheduling/
  time/core-driving bypasses, denied in swactor-engine, iroh-driver, and
  myelin. Retained excluded uses (VastAI provider, provider process
  supervision/log capture, OS-signal/stdin/process-control sequencing)
  carry narrow allowances with reasons.

Verification:
- Engine contract + unit tests (incl. the SteppingBackend portability
  proof), iroh integration tests (capability rejection before binding,
  multi-node actor behavior), and a production execution-composition
  smoke test that observes engine-driven actor progress with no ambient
  Tokio runtime and no manual tick/pump. Workspace all-target/all-feature
  clippy and tests are green.

Specs co-located with their crates: ENGINE_SPEC.md in crates/engine,
IROH_DRIVER_SPEC.md in crates/iroh-driver. VastAI remains explicitly out
of scope pending its separate redesign.

# Clippy enforcement policy for the swactor engine boundary
# (ENGINE_SPEC.md §2 / §3.1).
#
# These direct runtime / scheduling / time / core-driving operations are
# disallowed outside the engine's own substrate implementation. Integrations
# (iroh-driver, myelin, ...) must go through `EngineHandle`. The
# `swactor-engine` Tokio backend and the core driver carry narrow
# `#[allow(clippy::disallowed_methods)]` exemptions because they ARE the
# substrate implementor; the VastAI provider module carries a temporary
# module-level exemption pending its separate redesign (out of scope per §2).
#
# In-scope work that backs actors, transport, RPC, sampling, or node/orchestrator
# progression must schedule through `EngineHandle`. The only retained direct
# uses are narrow exclusions (§2): provider adapters/lifecycle (VastAI),
# provider-specific process supervision and log capture, and top-level OS-signal
# / blocking user-stdin / synchronous process-control sequencing. Each retained
# use carries a local `#[allow]` with its exclusion reason.
#
# Workspace-wide enforcement: `swactor-engine`, `iroh-driver`, and in-scope
# `myelin` carry `#![deny(clippy::disallowed_methods)]` and pass clean.
