JamesandClaude Opus 4.7 c0d75a5268 feat(core,cli,engine,producer): add getVariables() helper and --variables render flag
Adds the parametrized-render primitive from hf#592 by reusing the existing
data-composition-variables schema as the source of declared defaults.

- Runtime helper window.__hyperframes.getVariables() (also exported from
  @hyperframes/core) reads data-composition-variables defaults from the
  document root and merges window.__hfVariables (CLI override) on top.
  Returns Partial<T> for typed access; supports a generic for editor
  ergonomics. Same code path runs in dev preview and at render time.
- CLI render --variables '<json>' / --variables-file <path> populates the
  override. Mutually exclusive; fail-fast on conflicting flags, missing
  file, unparseable JSON, or non-object payloads. parseVariablesArg is
  exported as a pure function so validation paths stay unit-testable.
- Engine injects window.__hfVariables via evaluateOnNewDocument before
  any page script runs, so the helper sees the merged values on its
  first call. Empty payloads are skipped to avoid pointless init scripts.
- Producer threads variables through RenderConfig and into the engine's
  CaptureOptions; Docker mode forwards --variables to the in-container
  CLI invocation via dockerRunArgs.

Composition authors declare variables once on the root <html> element:

  <html data-composition-variables='[
    {"id":"title","type":"string","label":"Title","default":"Hello"}
  ]'>

and read them in any composition script:

  const { title } = window.__hyperframes.getVariables();

A render with `--variables '{"title":"Q4 Report"}'` overrides the default
without modifying the composition source. Missing keys fall through to
the declared defaults, so dev preview and CLI renders without --variables
behave identically.

This is PR 1 of a 4-PR stack. Sub-comp per-instance scoping (carrying
host data-variable-values through the inlined sub-comp's getVariables()
call) lands in PR 2; schema validation and lint in PR 3; skill / scaffold
distribution in PR 4.

Tests: 9 new unit tests for getVariables() (jsdom), 11 new CLI tests
covering parseVariablesArg validation paths and Docker passthrough,
2 new dockerRunArgs assertions for the --variables flag. All existing
tests green (core 611, cli 208, engine 519).

/**
* Reads the resolved variables for the current composition.

* merged with `window.__hfVariables` (set at render time by the engine when
* the user passes `hyperframes render --variables '<json>'`).
*
* Returns `Partial<T>` because not every declared variable is guaranteed to

* declared. Callers are expected to destructure with their own fallbacks
* where strictness matters:
