agra 6406d0fb1f fix(stdlib/E4): collapse generic-struct author matrix into four choke-points
The generic-struct author-selection matrix {bare,qualified} × {site} × {layout,
body} drifted per-site across 12 attempts because method bodies were resolved by
bare template name in `fn_ast_map["Box.method"]`, independent of which author
produced the instance's layout. Collapse it into four choke-points so
layout-author ≡ body-author by construction:

  CP-1 `selectGenericStructHead` — the single layout-head selector every generic
       struct head site funnels through (alias-RHS .call/.parameterized, array-
       literal, static head, resolveTypeCall/ParameterizedWithBindings). Emits the
       visibility / missing-member diagnostics inline; returns a control-flow-only
       union. No head site reads `struct_template_map` for selection directly.
  CP-2 author stamp — non-optional `decl: *StructDecl` on `StructTemplate` (set at
       the sole producer `buildGenericStructTemplate`) + `struct_instance_author`
       written at `instantiateGenericStruct` from the SAME `tmpl` that builds the
       layout; re-stamped on the dedup fast-path so an instance is never returned
       without an author.
  CP-3 alias metadata copy — mirror template/bindings/author from the mangled
       instance onto the alias display name, so an `ABox`-typed receiver is a
       first-class dispatch instance (Counter-2).
  CP-4 `genericInstanceMethod` / `ensureGenericInstanceMethodLowered` — the single
       body reader: inline methods select via the stamped author (`structMethodFn`,
       source-pin follows for free); impl-block methods fall back to the template-
       keyed `fn_ast_map` entry. Routes the four bespoke body sites (static head,
       instance dispatch, param typing, protocol thunk) + the new qualified static
       head (`a.Box(s64).make(7)`, finding #2).

A debug assert locks `struct_instance_author` / `struct_instance_template` keyset
coincidence so a future third writer that forgets the author trips a test.

Goldens 0777/0778/0780 (bare instance method — ptr/by-value/param-typed, finding
#1), 0779/0785 (qualified static head + missing member, finding #2), 0783 (alias
instance dispatch, Counter-2), 0782 (ambiguity containment). 0414/0415/0543 and
the FFI suites stay green.

// A BARE generic struct INSTANCE method (`x.tag()`) must dispatch to the method
// authored alongside the instance's layout — the single bare-VISIBLE author —
// NOT the global last-wins `fn_ast_map["Box.tag"]`, which a NON-visible
// 2-flat-hop same-name template's method can win.
//
// `b.sx` declares a one-field `Box($T)` (size 8) whose `tag` returns `self.x+8`,
// and itself flat-imports `c.sx`, whose two-field `Box($T)` (size 16) declares a
// `tag` returning `self.x+16`. This file flat-imports ONLY `b.sx`, so `b.Box` is
// one flat hop away (visible) and `c.Box` is two hops (NOT bare-visible).
//
// Regression (Phase E4 finding #1, instance-method site): the static head
// `Box(s64).make(7)` already selected `b.Box` for the layout (size 8), but the
// instance method `x.tag()` resolved by bare template name in `fn_ast_map`, so it
// ran `c.Box.tag` (returning 7+16=23) on the b instance. Fail-before printed
// `size=8 tag=23`; with body-author ≡ layout-author it runs b's `tag` (7+8=15).
