[ToolboxAid]

Summary

Moves server/API application runtime into top-level api/ while preserving /api/* route behavior.

• Moves Local API server/router/services/persistence/storage/auth/seed/admin server modules under api/.
• Keeps developer-only local bootstrap/orchestration in dev/ for the later local-runtime PR.
• Keeps browser API clients in src/api/ so www/ does not import top-level api/ implementation files directly.
• Updates Project Instructions version to 2026.06.28.009 and backlog status for Repository Architecture Simplification.
