codegen: inline proto2 extension writers/readers (qwt) + table.new(N,0) for packed lists (2sn)

qwt closes the proto2_basic.BenchPayload `min` bench's worst data point:
encode 1.89M → 3.30M msgs/s (+75%), decode 1.02M → 1.26M msgs/s (+23%).
Mechanism: collectExtsByExtendee groups all `extend Foo { ... }`
declarations by extendee FullName across input files; emitInlineEncode
emits one dedicated writer per extension instead of dispatching through
pb.codec.encode_field, and emitInlineDecode adds an elseif arm per
extension id straight into result._extensions[full_name]. Dynamic
extensions_list walk preserved for forward compat, gated on
#_elist > N so it pays one int compare when no runtime extension was
registered.

2sn pre-sizes packed-scalar repeated lists via table.new(N, 0) where
the count is recoverable from the LEN payload — exact (lim >> 2 or
lim >> 3) for fixed-width, upper bound (lim) for varint-packed. The
allocation is deferred into the `if wt == 2 then` branch so the
per-element fallback and non-packable types keep the bare-`{}`
alloc. Avoids u39's regression mode because the call cost is paid
once per repeated-field-first-occurrence, not per message decode.

Bench summary for hello.Person full mode: encode +3-5% across sizes,
decode +1-3% across sizes. Tests: 752/752 pure-Lua, 1043/1043 with
PB_ENABLE_C=1, JIT 37/37. PERF_LOG entry covers the rationale and
caveats.

codegen: inline 1-byte LEN fast path for string/bytes decode

Singular and repeated string/bytes fields in generated full-mode _decode
now read the length byte and dispatch in-line instead of calling
wire.decode_string / wire.decode_bytes. For length < 128 (the common
short-string RPC case), the path stays inside the parent JIT trace:
no child-trace stitch, no per-element function frame, utf8_len lookup
hoisted to a generated-file upvalue.

The original a6n design — one ffi.cast(U8CP, buf) at the top of each
_decode — was abandoned: the cdata wrapper is 24 bytes per call and
LuaJIT can't sink the allocation because the pointer local lives
across wire.decode_* call frames. Net regression at small sizes
(+11-16%) overwhelmed the single-byte-read savings.

Bench (hello.Person full-mode decode):

      size    ns/op before   ns/op after   delta
      10B          419            390     -6.9%
      100B         515            478     -7.2%
      1KB         9004           8042    -10.7%
      10KB       64644          56745    -12.2%
      100KB     625638         537750    -14.0%

Zero allocation impact across all sizes. Tests: 1043 pass, 37 JIT
trace gates pass. (a6n)

codegen: inline 1-byte tag fast path at decode call sites

Hoists wire.decode_tag's 1-byte fast path into every generated
M.X_decode while-loop, falling back to the helper for multi-byte
tags (field ids > 15). The 1-byte case covers every protobuf field
with id 1..15 and is the dominant decode dispatch in real payloads.

Header now localizes string.byte, bit.band, and bit.rshift so the
inlined ops compile to straight local calls.

Bench (Person full decode, msgs/s, median-of-3 vs proper post-h8v
3-run baseline): 10B +14.7%, 100B +8.9%, 1KB +7.5%, 10KB +7.0%,
100KB +8.5%. Full encode is flat to small (-0.1% to -2.6%) at large
sizes, plausibly from header-upvalue layout. JIT trace gate: 37/37,
all bridges still 0. Tests: 745/745.

Also documented in bench/PERF_LOG.md, including the methodology
note that h8v's earlier numbers used single-run baselines and are
therefore ~3-5% optimistic; medians-of-3 are the standard now.

codegen: preserve descriptor options as `options = { ... }`

Every populated *Options message — FileOptions, MessageOptions,
FieldOptions, OneofOptions, EnumOptions, EnumValueOptions,
ServiceOptions, MethodOptions — surfaces on the generated descriptor as
a plain Lua sub-table named `options` (or `oneof_options` /
`value_options` for the per-member shapes). Standard fields use their
proto name as a bare Lua key; extensions use their fully-qualified
extension name as a bracket-quoted string key.

The walker is generic — no extension-specific code paths. Consumers
pull whatever they care about: `(google.api.http)` for REST routing,
`(versionpb.etcd_version_*)` for compatibility gates, `[deprecated =
true]` for migration tooling, and any in-house extension without pb
knowing about them. Standard fields sort alphabetically before
extensions (also alphabetical by full name) so codegen output stays
byte-identical across runs.

The `options` key is only emitted when at least one field is populated,
so option-free protos produce zero-diff output to before. Resolver
re-links *Options* messages so in-file extensions surface via the
protoreflect walker — protogen builds f.Desc before in-file extensions
are registered, and only f.Proto gets the post-pass fix-up, so we
rebuild the resolver manually.

UninterpretedOption is treated as a codegen-time error: a populated
entry means protoc couldn't resolve the extension, and emitting
opaque parser state would hide the problem.

docs: full reference + how-to set, migrate Makefile to Justfile

Documentation overhaul that adds the missing user-facing surface:
four reference pages (runtime-api, generated-api, cli, grpc-contract),
twelve how-tos walking from first-message through custom transports,
a troubleshooting page, and a docs/index map. Every how-to references
a runnable artifact under examples/, all of them verified end-to-end.

Build system migration: the Makefile is gone; the Justfile is now
the canonical entry point and absorbs every target. examples/Justfile
ships one recipe per runnable example, forwarded via top-level
'just examples <name>'. The 'examples are part of the documented
surface' convention is pinned in CLAUDE.md, alongside a dedicated
section on updating the conformance harness (PROTOBUF_TAG bumps,
libjsoncpp path drift, new test-category wiring).

Stale-number sweep across README/PLAN/CLAUDE: fixture count 18→10,
test count 613/130→639, wire.lua LOC dropped, M7 marked done.
Descriptor-shape block deduplicated against codegen.md as the
canonical source. gRPC transports spec status reframed from
'draft / decision deferred' to 'shipped contract; external
transports deferred'.

.gitignore picks up *.snap / *.xlog / *.vylog / *.run / *.pid /
512.lock so example state can't leak into the working tree.
