feat(bus,plugins,organization,cli,webui): SP9 remove system types outright, bus schema 3v-3w drops project_system_types (#1873)

Jason's 2026-11-12 ruling: the only deployed system is the dev environment on
dragon-lin, so the system-type plug-in kind goes with no retired kind, fence,
conversion or new refusal code.

- plugins: system-type leaves KINDS; system-types.mjs and the five modules are
  deleted. An org file naming the kind refuses unknown-kind.
- organization: the plugins.system-type check, systemTypesFence and the
  system-types.console right are removed.
- bus: system-types.console, project.system-types[.set], the system-type half
  of the tester check, the runtime reads and system-type-not-enabled are
  removed. Step 3v-3w drops project_system_types, its index, its four guards
  and its rows; SCHEMA_VERSION is 3w (32 tables, 126 triggers, 5 views).
- cli: mosaic org system-types and mosaic project system-types[-set] are
  removed; stack-release COUNTED and the budget supervisor's closed list move
  to 3w.
- channel: the project.system-types verbs are removed.
- webui: the System types page, route, dashboard row, chips and project
  selection are removed.
- docs: REQ-SYS-1/2 now describe starter packs; README system-type text and
  the requirements titles follow.

+// #1873 CB4: the revoke of an agent copy's credential binding, for every lifecycle event that ends it
+// (design docs/plans/2026-11-11_copy-credential-binding-design.md sections 3 and 6).
+//
+// One job per copy, in this order, and no lock held across any step:
+//   1. close   the launch gate shuts the copy: no admission, every call refuses (sync, before any
+//              await, so a launch that has not been admitted yet never escapes the stop inventory);
+//   2. begin   the writer records the pending op (`revoking`, a fresh op id) or joins the one pending;
+//   3. drain   the gate aborts the copy's requests in flight and waits for each to settle;
+//   4. stop    every ordinary and thread run of the copy is ended, and the job waits for each run's
+//              end to be acknowledged;
+//   5. slot    the copy's slot file goes;
+//   6. remote  the grant is revoked at the service through the organization's managed adapter, or
+//              recorded `not-managed` when the organization has none;
+//   7. finish  the writer records the unbound tombstone when every step was definite, or keeps the
+//              record revoking with the steps that were not. Only a definite finish reopens the gate
+//              (to the tombstone's own code); the stop is confirmed before that, always.
+// A throw at any step leaves the record revoking: resume() at the next start runs the same op id
+// again. Nothing in between resolves, launches or reloads the copy's token. `hooks` are for tests:
+// hooks[name]() runs at each named point and may throw to simulate a crash there.
+//
+// `gate` is the launch gate, or business => gate|null when only some organizations have one (the
+// gate holds one organization's copies). sweep() also finds a copy a named instance now shadows: the
+// name is in the file's roles, and its former copy's record is not a finished tombstone.
