Core no longer owns or drives OS threads. The runtime is now a single
tick-driven worker whose loop an external engine hosts and advances.
This is the cutover required before the engine seam is introduced.
Removed from core:
- Runtime::run() and its owned thread pool (spawn, park/unpark, join)
- notify_worker() and worker_threads: Vec<OnceLock<Thread>> plumbing
- Placement load-aware selector and its WorkerStats-driven next_worker()
- WorkerId newtype and the address->worker routing map; AddressMap is
now a plain AddrSet membership set
- num_threads from RuntimeConfig
Rewired for the single-worker tick API:
- python/wasm bindings, dashboard dummy node (deleted), myelin vastai
adapter, and the runtime/test suites
Cleanup folded in during review:
- prune three never-written WorkerStats counters (cross_sends,
messages_dropped, restarts)
- collapse the redundant tick_all params onto the WorkerContext handle

Add project licensing and a full README, plus a minimal WebAssembly ping-pong example that exercises the actor runtime.
- `LICENSE`: add the full GNU AGPL-3.0 text and set `license = "AGPL-3.0-only"` on every package (`swactor`, each crate, `apps/myelin`, `tools/vastai`, `xtask`)
- `README.md`: rewrite from a stub into a full project overview, covering features (actor_id routing, WASM, iroh QUIC/SWIM, OTP-style std, process manager, zero-copy objects, datastream metrics, dashboard), architecture, examples, developing, status, and license
- `examples/ping-pong`: new standalone workspace (`pingpong` cdylib) where two actors volley on a single-threaded `wasm` runtime driven by a Node host via `tick()`, demonstrating spawning, message passing, and death monitoring (`watching`)
- `examples/ping-pong`: add a host/run harness -- `run.sh` (wasm-pack build + `run.mjs`), `serve.sh` (dashboard + static demo), `index.html`, and a pinned `Cargo.lock`
- `.gitignore`: stop ignoring `.loop/`, `.deployment-notes/`, and `.omp/`

Remove the datastore crate, the top-level design/orchestration/ring specs, the
benches, and the ci config. Add the dashboard host telemetry sampler
(cpu/disk/net/gpu/mem). Localize the pipeline-parallel e2e stub/mock paths.

Reduce idle cpu usage on my main machine from 17% to 1%. Made SWIM gossip more lazy.

Remove co-dependencies for different modules found in `crates` and migrate the development history to a new repository. The docs were stale, and largely not getting used, so simply deleted for now. When code stabilizes more, they will become useful again.
