Phase 2 WP-1–13+23: Template Engine CRUD, composition, overrides, locking, collision detection, acyclicity

- WP-23: ITemplateEngineRepository full EF Core implementation
- WP-1: Template CRUD with deletion constraints (instances, children, compositions)
- WP-2–4: Attribute, alarm, script definitions with lock flags and override granularity
- WP-5: Shared script CRUD with syntax validation
- WP-6–7: Composition with recursive nesting and canonical naming
- WP-8–11: Override granularity, locking rules, inheritance/composition scope
- WP-12: Naming collision detection on canonical names (recursive)
- WP-13: Graph acyclicity (inheritance + composition cycles)
Core services: TemplateService, SharedScriptService, TemplateResolver,
LockEnforcer, CollisionDetector, CycleDetector. 358 tests pass.
