feat: implement storybook DSL with template composition and validation

Add complete domain-specific language for authoring narrative content for
agent simulations.

Features:
- Complete parser using LALRPOP + logos lexer
- Template composition (includes + multiple inheritance)
- Strict mode validation for templates
- Reserved keyword protection
- Semantic validators (trait ranges, schedule overlaps, life arcs, behaviors)
- Name resolution and cross-reference tracking
- CLI tool (validate, inspect, query commands)
- Query API with filtering
- 260 comprehensive tests (unit, integration, property-based)

Implementation phases:
- Phase 1 (Parser): Complete
- Phase 2 (Resolution + Validation): Complete
- Phase 3 (Public API + CLI): Complete

BREAKING CHANGE: Initial implementation

+//! Template composition and merge engine
+//!
+//! Handles two types of template composition:
+//! 1. Template includes (vertical composition): `template Person { include
+//!    Human ... }`
+//! 2. Character template inheritance (horizontal composition): `character
+//!    Martha from Person, Worker { ... }`
+//!
+//! Also handles legacy @BaseTemplate { ... } syntax for template overrides
+//! with:
+//! - Set operations (field: value) - replace or add field
+//! - Remove operations (remove field) - delete field
+//! - Append operations (append field: value) - add new field (error if exists)
