What changed

replaced the placeholder Nix derivation with a real star-lang package
added nix run and nix run .#tests apps
added an SBCL development shell and formatter output
made nix flake check load starlang-prototype and run every prototype test script
installed the full ASDF-visible source tree instead of creating an empty output
added dedicated Nix CI
relicensed the repository and every first-party ASDF system to AGPL-3.0-only
updated README, changelog, license notice, and SBOM metadata

Why

The existing flake suppressed ASDF load failures with || true and installed an empty directory. It was a development-shell stub, not a usable StarLang package. The new derivation fails on real build/test errors and produces runnable tools plus installed Common Lisp sources.

AGPL-3.0 closes the network-service source-distribution gap for modified StarLang deployments.

Validation

audited the generated ASDF metadata against the existing system definitions
added nix flake check --print-build-logs as a required CI execution path
local Nix execution was unavailable in the current tool environment, so GitHub Actions is the authoritative build validation for this PR
