Review: chore: delete kv channel

This PR cleanly removes the entire KV channel subsystem (+4 / -2,775 lines). The deletion is thorough and systematic across all layers.

What's removed:

• Engine-side WebSocket handler (pegboard-kv-channel)
• BARE protocol schema (engine/sdks/schemas/kv-channel-protocol/v1.bare)
• Rust protocol crate (engine/sdks/rust/kv-channel-protocol)
• TypeScript protocol SDK (engine/sdks/typescript/kv-channel-protocol)
• Guard routing for /kv/connect
• TypeScript KV channel manager (runtime-router/kv-channel.ts)
• /kv/connect route from the runtime router

Looks good:

• Workspace configs (Cargo.toml, pnpm-workspace.yaml) are cleaned up consistently
• CLAUDE.md sync requirements for the KV channel protocol are removed
• The @rivetkit/engine-kv-channel-protocol dependency is dropped from rivetkit's package.json
• The actor gateway correctly removes the /kv/connect skip — requests to that path will now fall through to normal 404 handling since the engine no longer serves it either

Minor nit — stale section header in CLAUDE.md:
The section is still titled "Native SQLite & KV Channel" but all KV channel-specific content was removed. The remaining bullets only describe VFS sync requirements. Consider renaming to just "Native SQLite" to avoid confusion.

Worth verifying:
The CLAUDE.md notes that rivetkit-typescript/packages/sqlite-native/src/vfs.rs and kv.rs implement a VFS backed by KV operations. Since those files aren't touched in this PR, it's worth confirming that sqlite-native was either: (a) already migrated to a different transport before this PR, (b) removed separately, or (c) the VFS KV operations now go through the runner protocol directly rather than the dedicated channel. If (c), the two-entry CLAUDE.md rule about keeping VFS implementations in sync still applies but no longer needs a channel-specific sync note — which is consistent with what was removed.

Overall a clean, well-scoped deletion. No functional concerns identified.
