Extract the shared JS+wgpu substrate (verified by the alknet-desktop POCs)
as alknet-runtime — the generalized QuickJS-NG + wgpu runtime that both
alknet-desktop (render) and alknet-compute (tensor compute) build on. Key
property driving the split: wgpu on llvmpipe is genuinely useful compute
with no physical GPU (WGSL → optimized SIMD beats JS for non-trivial
workloads), so wgpu is unconditional in the runtime rather than a feature
flag.
Reframes the original alknet-tensor architecture-summary as alknet-compute
(builds on alknet-runtime + alknet-tensor) with ShaderGenerator as a trait
(WGSL first impl, SPIR-V/GLSL/naga-IR later per wgpu multi-input-language
support). alknet-tensor/metatensor-format.md is now clearly the pure binary
format crate (no JS or wgpu dep), usable standalone by a pure-Rust model
server.
Layering: alknet-runtime depends on alknet-call (registry authority stays
per ADR-013); alknet-compute and alknet-desktop depend on alknet-runtime;
alknet-tensor is a pure-format sibling.
