libnativeapi workspace

Aggregates all libnativeapi repositories as git submodules, so cross-repo changes (core → codegen → bindings) can be made and tracked together. The binding code generator lives directly in this repo under tools/codegen.

git submodule update --init

tools/codegen (in-repo, not a submodule) generates the C ABI and all language bindings from the C++ headers in core/. Run it via the wrapper script:

./codegen         # full run: C ABI, then all bindings
./codegen check   # verify generated files are up to date (CI mode)
./codegen sync    # after a core change: regenerate everything, bump each
                  #   binding's embedded core submodule, rerun bindgen/ffigen,
                  #   and commit core + bindings + workspace pointers
                  #   (add --push to also push, -m "..." for the core message)

See tools/codegen/README.md for details.

make status   # working-tree status of every submodule
make sync     # pull main in every submodule (fast-forward)
make bump     # stage updated submodule pointers for commit

Day-to-day development happens inside each submodule as if it were a standalone clone: commit and push from within the subdirectory as usual. The workspace repo only records snapshots — commit updated submodule pointers when the set of repos is in a known-good, compatible state.
