Workstream B phase 1 (node-side consume). The signed app-catalog can now carry a
full manifest per entry; the orchestrator overlays it over the disk manifest
(origin-wins) with disk as the migration fallback. Moves apps toward
registry-distributed manifests with no OTA-shipped disk file.
- app_catalog: `manifest: Option<Value>` on AppCatalogEntry (forward-compatible,
covered by the existing release-root signature over the raw JSON);
`catalog_manifest_values()` accessor.
- prod_orchestrator: `load_manifests` overlays catalog manifests after the disk
walk; `catalog_manifest_to_overlay()` returns None (→ disk fallback) on
unparseable value / app-id mismatch / failed validate() / build source
(build contexts aren't registry-distributed yet — phase 1 is image-only).
- manifest_dir stays PathBuf (build-only field); image-only apps never read it.
- 6 unit tests; compiles clean. No-op until a catalog embeds a manifest, so
existing nodes are unaffected.

Single authoritative hub (docs/PRODUCTION-MASTER-PLAN.md) for the app-platform
north star: every app manifest-driven (zero OS-level reliance), manifests via the
signed registry, developer-ready external marketplace; rootless/secure/robust/
100%-uptime. Repo CLAUDE.md (auto-loaded each session) points agents at it until
the 20x lifecycle gate is green. New design doc registry-manifest-design.md.
Consolidated docs 56 -> 28: deleted dated handoffs/resumes/transcripts and
superseded trackers (content folded into the master plan or already in memory).
Kept all evergreen design/reference docs + ADRs (the master links them).
