 Item instances now carry `RuntimeItemReference`, a narrow item-id/value holder.
 The old generic `RuntimeCatalogLink<T>` abstraction has been deleted; item data
 projection is routed through `ItemManager` and the typed runtime catalog reader.

 The dead `InspectableRuntimeCatalogLinkAttribute` inspector metadata is gone;
 typed runtime projection still uses `LegacyPayloadKeyAttribute` only where the
 temporary mapper needs a deterministic field order.
