feat: container variant props, 11-component registry, rich dashboard

Parser:
- column/row/stack now parse trailing { props } after ]
- Enables: column [...] { variant: "card" }

Codegen:
- Container props dispatch: variant, class, click, style, layout
- variant_to_css() maps (tag, variant) → CSS class
- variant_map_js() for dynamic variants via inline JS map
- 230+ lines design system CSS (button/badge/card/dialog/toast/
  progress/alert/separator/toggle/avatar/stat)

Registry (11 components):
- button, input, card, badge, dialog, toast
- NEW: progress, alert, separator, toggle, avatar
- All embedded via include_str! for offline use

Examples:
- showcase.ds: component gallery with variant prop
- dashboard.ds: admin dashboard with glassmorphism cards
