Adds spawning *bool to OrgWorkspace + a guard at the top of createWorkspaceTree that returns early when explicitly false. Skips THIS workspace AND its entire subtree at /org/import time without touching the canonical template structure.

Why

Dev-tree org template ships the full role taxonomy (27 personas in 5 sub-teams). Some setups want a smaller set — local dev on a memory-constrained machine, demo runs, leadership-only trials. Pre-fix options were all wrong-shaped: edit canonical template (mutates shared state), author parallel slimmer template (duplicates structure), or manually deprovision after full import (wasteful — paid the docker pull/build cost).

spawning: false is the per-workspace knob.

Semantics

• Unset → spawn (current behaviour, no migration)
• spawning: true → explicitly spawn (same as unset)
• spawning: false → skip workspace AND every descendant. Guard sits BEFORE any side effect in createWorkspaceTree — no DB row, no docker provision, no children recursion. countWorkspaces still counts the subtree (so /org/templates numbers reflect full structure).

Stage A — verified

Local dev-only template wrapping teams/dev.yaml (Dev Lead) with children: [] on the 5 sub-team yaml files + 3 floater personas (Release Manager / Integration Tester / Fullstack Engineer). /org/import returned 9 workspaces, all containerised. Drop-in: same result later via spawning: false on each sub-tree root.

Stage B — N/A

Pure additive feature on the org-template handler. No SaaS deploy chain implications.

Refs

• Pairs with PR #134 (ws.FilesDir lookup fix) for full /org/import correctness on the dev-tree shape
• internal#105 — onboarding wizard RFC will likely surface spawning as a customer-facing enabled toggle in the UI

feat(org-import): add spawning:false field to skip workspace + descendants ... b91da1ab77

Lets a workspace declare it (and its entire subtree) should be skipped
during /org/import. Pointer-typed `*bool` so we distinguish "explicitly
false" from "unset" (default = spawn).

## Use case

The dev-tree org template ships the full role taxonomy (Dev Lead with
Core Platform / Controlplane / App & Docs / Infra / SDK Leads, each with
their own engineering / QA / security / UI-UX children — 27 personas
total in a single import). Some setups need a smaller set:

- Local dev on a memory-constrained machine
- Demo / smoke runs that don't need the full org breathing
- Customer trials starting with leadership-only before fan-out

Pre-fix the only options were:
- Edit the canonical template (mutates shared state)
- Author a parallel slimmer template (duplicates structure)
- Manual workspace deprovision after full import (wasteful — already paid
  the docker pull / build cost)

`spawning: false` is the per-workspace knob that solves this without
touching the canonical template structure.

## Semantics

- Unset: workspace spawns (current behaviour, no migration)
- `spawning: true`: explicitly spawns (same as unset)
- `spawning: false`: workspace is skipped AND every descendant is
  skipped. The guard sits BEFORE any side effect in
  createWorkspaceTree — no DB row, no docker provision, no children
  recursion. A false-spawning subtree is genuinely a no-op except for
  the log line. countWorkspaces still counts the subtree (so /org/templates
  numbers reflect the full structure).

## Stage A — verified

Local dev-only template that wraps teams/dev.yaml (Dev Lead) with
children:[] cleared on the 5 sub-team yaml files, plus 3 floater
personas (Release Manager / Integration Tester / Fullstack Engineer).
/org/import returned 9 workspaces. Drop-in: same result via
`spawning: false` on each sub-tree root in the future.

## Stage B — N/A

Pure additive feature on the org-template handler. No SaaS deploy chain
implications.
