Subject: [PATCH] feat(provers): add Deno-native theorem prover integration

Implement comprehensive prover integration system using Deno (no npm):

Clients:
- SystemOnTPTP: 40+ provers (Vampire, E, Z3, CVC5, SPASS, etc.)
- Metamath: proof verification and theorem exploration
- Z3 WASM: local SMT solving via WebAssembly
- Wolfram Alpha: natural language proofs (2000 free calls/month)
- LeanTool: Lean 4 via OpenAI-compatible API
- Unified: aggregates all backends with strategy selection

Runner:
- Continuous daemon for day/night proof checking
- CLI with health check, single solve, batch processing
- Queue management with priority and retry logic
- Persistent result storage

Enforcement:
- npm ban script and pre-commit hook
- deno.json with strict configuration
- NPM_BANNED.md documentation

All imports use https:// URLs or npm: specifiers (Deno-native).

+# ⛔ NPM IS BANNED IN THIS PROJECT
+
+## Policy
+
+This project uses **Deno** as its JavaScript/TypeScript runtime. The following are **STRICTLY FORBIDDEN**:
+
+- ❌ `npm install` / `npm i`
+- ❌ `npx`
+- ❌ `package-lock.json`
+- ❌ `node_modules/`
+- ❌ Bare imports like `import x from "lodash"`
+
+## Approved Alternatives
+
+### Package Management
+```bash
+# ✅ Use Deno tasks
+deno task check
+deno task lint
+deno task daemon
+
+# ✅ Use deno.json for dependencies
+# Imports are specified in deno.json "imports" field
+```
+
+### Dependencies
+```typescript
+// ✅ CORRECT: Use https:// imports
+import { serve } from "https://deno.land/std@0.224.0/http/server.ts";
+
+// ✅ CORRECT: Use npm: specifier (Deno-native)
+import z3 from "npm:z3-solver@4.12.4";
+
+// ✅ CORRECT: Use esm.sh CDN
+import React from "https://esm.sh/react@18.2.0";
+
+// ❌ WRONG: Bare npm imports
+import lodash from "lodash";  // BANNED
+```
+
+### Running Scripts
+```bash
+# ❌ BANNED
+npm run dev
+npm start
+npx some-tool
+
+# ✅ APPROVED
+deno task dev
+deno run --allow-net script.ts
+```
+
+## Why?
+
+1. **Security**: Deno has better security defaults with explicit permissions
+2. **Simplicity**: No node_modules, no package-lock.json conflicts
+3. **Standards**: Uses web standards and ES modules natively
+4. **Speed**: Faster startup, no npm install step
+5. **Project Policy**: RSR (Rhodium Standard Repository) compliance
+
+## Enforcement
+
+- Pre-commit hooks block npm usage
+- CI/CD fails on npm artifacts
+- Code review rejects npm dependencies
+
+## Exceptions
+
+The only exception is the `src/rescript/` directory which requires ReScript compiler tooling. This is being migrated to Deno-compatible tooling.
+
+## Need Help?
+
+See the [Deno documentation](https://deno.land/manual) or ask in the project chat.
