C6: Runtime kernel owns data, status, error — adapters subscribe

The kernel is no longer a blind refetch pipe. Each context entry has:
  { data, status: idle|loading|success|error, error }

registerContext() returns { getState, subscribe, refetch, unregister }.
Adapters subscribe to state changes via callbacks. The kernel does
the fetch and notifies subscribers with the new state.

React adapter uses useSyncExternalStore for tear-free reads.
Vue adapter uses ref + subscribe callback.
Svelte adapter uses readable store backed by kernel subscription.

All three adapters also get:
- Mutation hooks with { mutate, isPending, error } (fixes H5)
- Vue: onServerPrefetch for Nuxt SSR (fixes M9)
- Svelte: readable store auto-cleans up on unsubscribe (fixes H9)
