feat(forum): add missing PoCs and CONCEPTS.md tracker (#65)
- Created `CONCEPTS.md` to track coverage of blueprint structures
- Added 5 new PoCs: CFG, Constitution, Frontmatter, Mutation, and Orphan Branch
- Registered all 15 experiments in `lab.ts` runner
- Ensured zero-dependency Deno execution for tests
