ACES Scenario Packs — Definition & Tooling

The canonical, shared home for the ACES scenario-pack definition, schemas, template, and authoring tools, published as the installable aces-scenario-packs package. It is subordinate to ACES core (aces-sdl), exists to make authoring and shipping ACES scenarios easier, and defines no extensions to ACES semantics (ADR 0009). Actual scenario packs live in their own catalog repositories and consume this contract; this repo does not host packs.
