Phase 2, PR 7 of docs/website/MODULE_SYSTEM.md 2.7 — the client half's
delivery. A module's prebuilt chunk is served, injected, handed core's React
and its UI kit, and its routes are rendered by App.jsx. The registry is empty
on a bare core, so nothing an operator can see changes.

Client:
  - modules/registry.js — registerRoutes/registerNav/registerFeatureProvider,
    with the URL namespace written by core, never by the module
  - modules/shared.js — window.__rg: React, react-dom/client, react-router-dom,
    react/jsx-runtime, the registry, the seven-member UI kit and the request
    primitive, frozen
  - App.jsx reads routesFor for all three areas; nav consumption is PR 8
  - main.jsx publishes the global, then mounts on DOMContentLoaded

Server:
  - the loader validates client.entry and publishes clientChunks() and
    clientEntryUrls(); an entry in the module root is rejected, because the
    directory it sits in is what gets served
  - app.js mounts each chunk at /modules/<id>/ behind the module's state guard
    with no-cache; anything else under /modules is a 404, not the SPA shell
  - htmlShell injects the tag before </body>, so core's bundle runs first
    wherever a bundler puts it

Found by loading a real chunk in a browser, and fixed here: core mounted before
any module chunk had evaluated, because document.readyState during a deferred
script is 'interactive', not 'loading'. Every test passed against that build.
The smoke is written down in MODULE_API.md 7.7.

933 server tests (+23), 123 client tests (+14). routes.manifest.json unchanged
at 230 routes; the OpenAPI spec regenerates byte-identical.

// ── The client-side module registry ────────────────────────────────────────
//
// Phase 2, PR 7 of docs/website/MODULE_SYSTEM.md §2.7. The normative contract is
// docs/website/MODULE_API.md §3.3; where the two disagree, the contract wins.
//
// A module's prebuilt chunk registers its routes, its nav entries and its feature
// provider here, and core reads them back. This is the client twin of the
// server's modules/loader.js — with one structural difference worth stating,
// because it is what makes the file this short: core *hands* the registry to the
// module (on `window.__rg`, see shared.js) rather than discovering it. There is
// nothing to scan, nothing to validate a manifest against, and no failure mode
// where half a module is registered.
//
// **Timing is the whole design.** Module chunks are `<script type="module" src>`
// tags the server injects before `</body>` (server/src/utils/htmlShell.js), after
// core's own bundle. Module scripts are deferred, so they evaluate after that
// bundle has run — which is where `window.__rg` is published — and all of them
// finish before DOMContentLoaded. main.jsx waits for that same event before
// calling render(), so registration is complete before React reads any of this.
//
// That is what buys the simplicity here: registration is a plain synchronous
// write with no subscribers, not an observable store, because nothing can
// register after the first render. If that ever stops being true it changes in
// this file and in main.jsx, not in a dozen consumers.
//
// What PR 7 wires up is `routesFor` (App.jsx). `navFor` and `featureProviderFor`
// are stored and returned faithfully but core does not read them yet — PR 8 adds
// the nav interleave and the feature-provider seam. Storing them is not the kind
// of accepting stub the server's registries refused to be: nothing is discarded
// here, so a module that registers nav in this core gets it back from `navFor`.
