Subject: [PATCH] Add (param :as type) annotations to all fn/lambda params
 across SX spec

Extend the type annotation system from defcomp-only to fn/lambda params:
- Infrastructure: sf-lambda, py/js-collect-params-loop, and bootstrap_py.py
  now recognize (name :as type) in param lists, extracting just the name
- bootstrap_py.py: add _extract_param_name() helper, fix _emit_for_each_stmt
- 521 type annotations across 22 .sx spec files (eval, types, adapters,
  transpilers, engine, orchestration, deps, signals, router, prove, etc.)
- Zero behavioral change: annotations are metadata for static analysis only
- All bootstrappers (Python, JS, G1) pass, 81/81 spec tests pass
