What changed

Research nodes

uses the StarIntel v0.9 research-node object type instead of an entity subtype or Quasar-only extension
adds validated states, transitions, portable limits, stop rules, counters, bounded history, lifecycle timestamps, outputs, artifacts, dependencies, child nodes, and actor/run IDs
compiles research documents into browser-actor execution plans
pins the tested browser JavaScript StarIntel runtime at ef9ea6b84fa6060013babdfd361f64660b2a5ebf
locks the exact Git dependency commit

Browser JavaScript actors

adds quasar.browser-js.v1, a dedicated-worker JavaScript actor runtime
adds deny-by-default capability RPC for document access, network fetches, browser opens, events, and artifacts
adds manifest, selection, timeout, output, request, response-size, abort, crash, and lifecycle handling
adds a compatibility adapter for current Quasar actor manifests
documents the runtime security boundary: capability/resource isolation, not a complete hostile-code sandbox

Coverage

adds unit coverage for actor manifest validation, capability denial, output limits, aborts, research plans, StarIntel document validation, and state transitions
updates research-node architecture documentation
enables CI for stacked pull requests

Shared schema work

research-node is implemented across the StarIntel ecosystem rather than patched into Quasar alone:

schema and fixtures: lost-rob0t/starintel-gpt-auto-dig#46
Python conformance and schema lock: lost-rob0t/starintel-doc#4
JavaScript conformance and schema lock: lost-rob0t/starintel_doc.js#4
Nim conformance and schema lock: lost-rob0t/starintel-doc.nim#6
Common Lisp conformance and schema lock: lost-rob0t/star-cl#5
browser JavaScript schema/runtime: lost-rob0t/starintel_doc.js#7
server schema drift gate: lost-rob0t/starintel-server#78

The existing exact Quasar dependency pin remains the tested browser-runtime commit.

Scope

This PR completes the capability-scoped browser JavaScript actor runtime tracked by #105 and lands the model/compiler foundation for #104. The remaining graph rendering, editor, queue execution, provenance, and UI coverage in #104 stay open for follow-up work.

Closes #105
