Manager-first deployment model: split runner, merge service/job, frontend→static

Replace the conflated `runner` axis with two orthogonal ones: `manager`
(systemd|caddy|path|none) — who supervises/realizes a deployment — and, for
systemd only, a nested `launcher` (python|command|container|compose|node) — how
the process starts. ServiceSpec and JobSpec collapse into one manager-
discriminated DeploymentSpec union (Systemd/Caddy/Path/Remote); the services/
and jobs/ config dirs collapse into one deployments/ dir. The human "kind"
(service|job|tool|static|reference) is fully derived (kind_for), never stored —
the frontend kind is renamed static. behavior is gone.

- core: DeploymentSpec union + LaunchSpec + kind_for; legacy-aware loader
  normalizes old runner shapes; CastleConfig.deployments with derived
  services/jobs/tools views; registry.Deployment carries manager/launcher/kind.
- cli: service/job/tool as filtered views + a deployment group; --behavior→--kind,
  create --runner→--launcher; lifecycle dispatches over config.deployments.
- castle-api: /deployments primary with /services,/jobs as views; summaries
  derive kind; PUT/DELETE /config/deployments/{name} (services/jobs aliased).
- app: KindBadge, frontend→static everywhere, pick-a-kind creation wizard,
  per-kind config editors.
- docs: single deployments/ layout, manager/launcher, static kind throughout.

Live migration verified byte-identical: regenerated Caddyfile and every unit
ExecStart line unchanged, so nothing restarted. Suites: core 124, cli 25,
castle-api 55; dashboard build + type-check clean.

## Registering as a program
A frontend program has a `build` spec (produces static output). Register it
in the `programs:` section of `castle.yaml`. No `run` block needed if Caddy
handles serving directly from the build output.
A frontend program has a `build` spec (produces static output). Register it in
`programs/<name>.yaml`, plus a `deployments/<name>.yaml` with `manager: caddy`
(derived **kind: static**) that names the built directory in `root:` — no `run`
block, since Caddy serves the build output directly.

```yaml
# deployments/my-frontend.yaml (manager: caddy → kind: static)

manager: caddy
root: dist # served at my-frontend.<gateway.domain>
```
For production, Caddy serves the build output **in place** from the program's
repo (`<source>/<build.outputs[0]>`) — no Node process and no copy into a
central directory. See [Serving with Caddy](#serving-with-caddy) below.
