refactor(dev): remove the minimal-registry escape hatch

[waleedlatif1]

Layer 6 of stack #6162. Pure deletion — 327 lines removed, 0 added.

Why it can go now

dev:minimal existed because the tool registry was 71–82% of every workspace route's module graph, and aliasing it away was the only way to make dev bearable. The metadata work removed that reason. Measured on the canvas:

	dev:minimal cold win
before this stack	31.7s → 20.0s (−37%)
after this stack	22.9s → 20.7s (−10%)

A 10% win on the run that happens once — restarts are ~4.2s either way — is not worth what it costs.

What it cost

• tools/registry.minimal.ts + blocks/registry-maps.minimal.ts are 283 lines of hand-curated duplicates of the real registries that nothing keeps in sync — no lint, no CI check, no test. I verified they're correct today (84 entries, 0 stale), but only because someone remembered.
• It required alias config in both bundler branches — the entire webpack() hook in next.config.ts existed solely for this and goes with it.
• It is actively misleading: the mode silently drops ~250 services and ~280 blocks, so a bug reproduced (or not reproduced) under it may not hold for real.

Removed

tools/registry.minimal.ts, blocks/registry-maps.minimal.ts, the SIM_DEV_MINIMAL_REGISTRY branch and webpack() hook in next.config.ts, and the dev:minimal / dev:full:minimal-registry scripts. No references remain anywhere in the repo.

Verified after removal

• tsc --noEmit clean
• check:tool-registry-boundary, tool-metadata:check, skills:check, check:boundaries all pass
• Both package.json files still parse
• next dev starts (Ready in 256ms) and serves the canvas: 22.6s cold, HTTP 200
• biome clean

PR Summary

Low Risk
Pure deletion of dev-only aliases and duplicate registries with no production path changes; only risk is developers on constrained machines losing a faster-but-incomplete dev mode (~10% cold-start win per the PR).

Overview
Removes the SIM_DEV_MINIMAL_REGISTRY dev escape hatch that aliased @/tools/registry and @/blocks/registry-maps to hand-curated minimal files so Turbopack/webpack compiled a smaller integration graph.

Deletes tools/registry.minimal.ts and blocks/registry-maps.minimal.ts, strips the Turbopack resolveAlias entries and the webpack hook that only served those aliases from next.config.ts, and drops dev:minimal and dev:full:minimal-registry from the root and apps/sim package scripts. Local dev always uses the full registries; production behavior is unchanged because minimal mode was never enabled outside dev.
