Brummel 67f98b6bc5 feat(cli): swap the scaffold's starter node for a param-bearing Scale (#183)
The `aura new` scaffold shipped one node, a param-less Identity, so a
downstream author had no public example of a build closure consuming a
bound param — the highest-value gap the project-environment fieldtest found
(F2): a newcomer could copy a param-less node but had to read engine source
to write their first *tunable* one, which the consumer contract forbids.
Swap that single starter node for a Scale node (mirroring the std gain
operator): its schema declares a `factor` ParamSpec and its build closure
reads the bound value (`|p| Box::new(Scale::new(p[0].f64()))`), and the
starter blueprint binds `factor` so `aura run` exercises the bound-param
path with zero hand-editing.

factor is bound to 1.0 — a neutral identity default the newcomer then tunes,
not the only C7-safe value (only |factor|>1 would push the terminal `bias`
output past the bounded [-1,+1] contract; the knob is genuinely read and
multiplied each cycle). The param-reading closure is the copyable template
content #183 delivers; a hypothetical `|_|` regression is caught by the
scaffold unit test's source guard, and tests/project_new.rs re-validates the
swap by building and running the scaffold end to end.

Template-side only (#181): the frozen 0102 demo-project fixture is untouched.

//! `aura new` — scaffold a research project crate (cycle 0103, C16/C17).
//!
//! Emits the cycle-0102 fixture shape parameterized by name/namespace: a
//! cdylib crate with path-deps on the engine checkout (the baked default or
//! `--engine-path`), a paths-only `Aura.toml`, a sample node + runnable
//! blueprint, and a project `CLAUDE.md`. The scaffolder never builds and
//! never loads (the author builds; `aura new` bypasses the project-load
//! phase in `main()`).
//!
//! Templates are raw strings with `__NS__` / `__NAME__` / `__NAME_SNAKE__` /
//! `__ENGINE__` tokens substituted by plain `.replace()` — no format-string
//! brace escaping in Rust template bodies.

This crate is an aura project: a cdylib of node/strategy blueprints the
`aura` host loads during research (see the engine's docs/project-layout.md).
- Build: `cargo build` (the next `aura` invocation loads the fresh dylib)
- Run: `aura run blueprints/signal.json` (from anywhere inside this dir)
- Nodes live in `src/`; each is registered in `vocabulary()`/`type_ids()`
under the `__NS__::` namespace prefix.
- Topology is data (`blueprints/*.json`), node logic is Rust.
