opschain metadata

Included from Basic tier

opschain metadata <subcommand>

The node metadata & classification family: the third per-node document family beside properties and settings, served by MetadataService on the user plane. Reads ride node read authz (classification is posture, not secret); writes need the delegable metadata-writer determination (updatable on /metadata<node path>, never implied by node write authz), and writes touching a protective field additionally need a stepped-up session. Metadata feeds the evaluation plane only — selector predicates and ${{ metadata.* }} conditions — never rendered action inputs.
