glm-5.1 c9c32a6aa6 decompose reconciler roadmap into 20 implementation tasks across 5 phases
Tasks follow the architecture spec phases:
- Phase 0: key field on UElement (2 tasks + review)
- Phase 1: reactive-host bridge / fiber tree (4 tasks + review)
- Phase 2: key-based children reconciliation (3 tasks + review)
- Phase 3: unmount & dispose support (4 tasks)
- Phase 4: TypeBox value optimizations (4 tasks)

Validated with taskgraph CLI: no cycles, 15 parallel generations,
3 high-risk tasks identified (signal-driven-updates, commit-mutations,
fiber-disposal).

# Description
Use `Value.Clone` to create proper `prevProps` snapshots before mutation. Currently the architecture spec says `fiber.prevProps` should hold the snapshot before reconciliation, but without deep cloning, `prevProps` and `fiber.props` could share nested references.
`Value.Clone` provides a deep clone that the `commitUpdate` contract relies on: `host.commitUpdate(instance, payload, tag, prevProps, nextProps, ctx)` needs both the before and after state to be independent.
This is the second optimization in the strategy (after `Value.Equal`), and it's about correctness, not just performance. Without `Value.Clone`, hosts that read `prevProps` during `commitUpdate` might see already-mutated values.
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] `Value.Clone` imported from `@alkdev/typebox/value`
- [ ] `fiber.prevProps` set to `Value.Clone(fiber.props)` before reconciliation updates props
- [ ] `prevProps` is a deep clone — no shared references with `fiber.props`
- [ ] `commitUpdate` receives independent `prevProps` and `nextProps`
- [ ] Existing tests pass
- [ ] New test: mutating `fiber.props` after setting `prevProps` does not affect `prevProps`
- [ ] New test: `commitUpdate` receives correct before/after prop values
