Adds a compile-only JavaScript/TypeScript authoring path that extracts a JSON-compatible workflow({...}) object, lowers it to the existing WorkflowSpec IR, and runs the Rust validation gate before execution.
Includes a branch/reduce .workflow.js example and a short authoring design note comparing YAML/JSON, Starlark, JavaScript, and TypeScript. The compiler rejects effectful JavaScript constructs instead of executing workflow source as a second runtime.

Add a fail-closed Starlark authoring layer that compiles workflow files into WorkflowSpec without exposing runtime execution. Include ctx.* repair aliases, unsupported-construct rejection, and rlm_cache_change / issue_fix_tournament examples.
