M7.1: extract nisse-core
What isn't the dev agent's moves to nisse-core, unchanged in behaviour,
with its tests: canonical, render, render_anthropic, llm, catalog, probe,
context, views, state, reconcile, worker, cancel, dump, transport, matrix,
execution, testing, vault, memory, oplog, envfile and gitea (whole).

- nisse_core.state.StateStore holds the tables every agent has; an
  agent's subclass adds its tables (version, migrations), roles and
  views. nisse_dev.state.StateStore adds the build VM blocks (v5).
- views.project takes what each role is shown, rather than a fixed table.
- Vault takes the agent's name (agent=), for provenance.
- A test that nisse_core never imports an agent.
- The loop, config, git, delegation, expert, tools and evals stay in
  nisse-dev until nisse-ops has a loop to share.

Docs: the Development Plan marks M7.1 done and notes that Phase 6 waits on
the agent host and Terraform; Architecture Part L names the package.
