Scheduler Logging Wins, ESM Migration Friction, and CI Runner Deprecation

PR #312: Structured Logging for the Scheduler Core

This PR adds persistent, structured logging directly to the core scheduler, finally making it possible to trace execution flow without external tooling. For anyone debugging complex task graphs or dependency resolution, this is a direct path to faster root cause analysis.

Issue #1521: ESM Migration Breaking Plugin Ecosystems

This issue peels back the layers on the ESM-only migration, tracking the specific compatibility breaks in third-party plugin ecosystems. It's a critical reality check on the migration timeline that reveals the hidden friction for the wider ecosystem.

Issue #1540: Critical CI Pipeline Flakiness Under Investigation

This isn't about a single bug; it's a meta-issue tracking the cascading, intermittent failures that tank CI reliability. It's a systemic signal about build fragility and the real cost of maintaining this core infrastructure.

Pulse: Commit Velocity vs. Growing Issue Backlog

The latest pulse data shows a slight increase in commit frequency but a growing issue backlog. This is the classic 'velocity vs. stability' tension, a key indicator for platform maturity risk.
