The package-manager half of prebuilt binary packages, on top of the compiler
foundation (dynamic system registration + --emit-module).
- x build-lib [module.ludic]: compile a package's module to a per-target native
dylib under lib/<target>/, with an @rpath install name so a consumer resolves
it from the content-addressed store.
- x link-flags: print the clang flags (the dylib, an rpath to its store dir,
-export_dynamic) so any build system links a project's prebuilt module dylibs;
x app splices them automatically for in-repo builds.
- kind prebuilt is resolved + linked like any dependency; a missing build target
stays a hard error.
Proven hermetically (macOS-gated, since dylibs are native): a module exporting a
component + an @System(Update) + a function is built with x build-lib, fetched
as a prebuilt dep, and linked into a consumer game that never saw its source —
the module's system mutates the shared world and its function is callable
("3 42"). Package suite 17/0; full suite 87/0.

Implements the v1 direction decided in the RFC as a set of `x` subcommands
plus a small, contained compiler change.
* URL-as-identity, no registry — a dependency is named by its git import
path and a `git tag vX.Y.Z` publishes a version.
* Minimum Version Selection — a `require` is a minimum; the resolver picks
the greatest required minimum per module, then the reachable closure at
those versions. Deterministic, no SAT solver (tools/x/pkg.ludic).
* Content-addressed global store + per-project links — packages live once in
~/.ludic/store keyed by a content hash; each project links them under
ludic_modules/. package.ludic (manifest) + package.lock.ludic (lock).
* Namespace registration for source packages via a module-root import
fallback in the compiler: do_import resolves a non-local, non-absolute
import under $LUDIC_MODULES (default ludic_modules/), so a fetched
package's Ludic compiles into the consumer the way the built-in stdlib
does. Collisions and missing prebuilt targets are hard errors.
Commands: x add / x get / x update / x verify / x vendor. New hermetic suite
`x test-pkg` (stands up throwaway git repos, offline) is gated inside `x test`.
Existing programs compile byte-for-byte identically (the import fallback only
fires when the local path is absent); the C-free bootstrap fixpoint holds and
the seed is regenerated. Full suite: 87 passed, package suite: 12 passed.
