Close epic: AT Protocol OCaml implementation complete

All core functionality implemented:
- 11 packages (syntax, crypto, multibase, ipld, mst, repo, identity, xrpc, sync, lexicon, api)
- 272 passing tests covering all 42 interop fixtures
- Effects-based I/O for runtime-agnostic code
- Firehose demo example

Documentation task remains open for future work.
