xiaoju	c8bf38cb81	feat: auto-bootstrap CAS store on open (Phase 1a) Changes: 1. openStore() now async, auto-creates directory and bootstraps 2. Removed shouldCreate parameter and validateStoreExists() 3. All openStore() calls now awaited 4. Deleted init and bootstrap commands 5. Removed Issue #55 store validation tests (superseded by auto-bootstrap) 6. Enhanced error handling in openStore() for permission/path issues 7. Updated e2e snapshots after fixing missed await in cmdRender Bootstrap is idempotent. Core tests using createMemoryStore() unaffected.
