Subject: [PATCH 1/6] zig0.16 migrate io and process apis

Switch runtime and build integration to explicit std.Io and std.process.Init APIs required by Zig 0.16.\n\nReplace removed @Type-based rule config reification with @Struct, migrate filesystem and process helpers across config/module/doc-test codepaths, and update test fixtures to the new tmp-dir IO signatures while preserving existing lint behavior.
