Surfaces the constraint that already shapes several kernel decisions
(GameObject/Component over ECS, explicit registration, the headless
introspection surface) instead of leaving it only in the internal spec.

- Restore scheduler parallelism (dropped by accident in the ECS ->
GameObject/Component rewrite; nothing about the object model
actually prevents parallel execution of systems with disjoint
declared access), plus the structural-change queuing that makes
that safe.
- Rename leftover ECS-era `Entity` references to `GameObject`.
- Add per-project plugin configuration (project.json): the doc had no
mechanism backing the "configurable per project" requirement, even
though the README already claimed it.
- State the indie/small-team scope explicitly — it's the unstated
premise behind several tradeoffs already in the doc (GC, GameObject
over ECS, no custom RHI).

Match the more familiar Unity-style object model instead of a
struct-of-arrays ECS: GameObject hierarchy with type-indexed component
queries, Transform inlined as the one performance-motivated exception.
Data/behavior stay split the same way ECS required it, so hot-reload
safety is unaffected.
Also fixes an inconsistency in the previous reload sequence, which
described migrating live component data on a contract change even
though the Default ALC hosting contracts never unloads. Contract
changes now explicitly require an editor restart instead.

Lay out the design that everything else builds on: a small frozen
kernel plugins treat as a shared language, the plugin contract, the
two-assembly hot-reload model, and the build order through M4.
