v2.92: deep debt evolution — probe_endpoint real JSON-RPC, capability-based nucleus, docs refresh

- probe_endpoint stub→real JSON-RPC liveness probes (identity.get + capabilities.list over Unix sockets)
- 4-format capability parser aligned (flat array, object array, method_info, semantic_mappings)
- nucleus.rs: hardcoded primal fallbacks→CapabilityTaxonomy-only resolution
- detect_ecosystem: hardcoded CORE_PRIMALS list→dynamic socket directory scan
- Toadstool-specific health logic→convention-based (.jsonrpc.sock detection)
- tokio-tungstenite 0.21→0.24 (aligned with axum 0.7, eliminates dup WebSocket stack)
- tokio test-util feature moved to dev-deps in 5 production crates
- templates.rs hardcoded /tmp fallback→SystemPaths-only
- genome_deploy root detection bug fixed (extracted is_root_user helper)
- atomic_client abstract socket connect deduplicated (extracted connect_abstract helper)
- "registry" added as CapabilityTaxonomy alias for Discovery→songbird
- CURRENT_STATUS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, EVOLUTION_ROADMAP.md, EVOLUTION_PATH.md refreshed
- tools/Cargo.toml: added missing reqwest dep for songbird_universal_ui_demo
- Stale docs: C-deps row reconciled, serde_yml→serde_yaml_ng, start_nucleus.sh references updated
