fix(typings): correct Client method emit; type the full API; infer implement args from define schemas

[Loner1536]

Types-only PR — no .luau changes and no runtime behavior changes. Rewrites typings/index.d.ts to match the Luau source and adds schema→callback inference for roblox-ts consumers.

Fix

• Client methods emitted as dot calls. Controller's members are colon-methods (function Controller:show()), but the typings declared them as arrow properties, so roblox-ts emitted client.show() — no self — and every method on a Konsole.create() client failed at runtime from TS. Client now uses method signatures, and the top-level Api no longer extends it, since the top-level functions are dot-style in init.luau and must keep emitting Konsole.show().

Additions (all backward compatible)

• Schema→callback inference. define captures the args schema and returns a Command whose .server is a branded string (ServerName<A>; plain string at runtime). Passing it to implement types the callback parameters automatically:

  const giveXp = Konsole.define({
      name: "giveXp",
      server: "giveXpServer",
      args: [
          { name: "target", type: "player", required: true },
          { name: "amount", type: "number", required: true },
      ],
  });
  
  Konsole.implement(giveXp.server, (context, player, amount) => {
      // player: Player, amount: number — no annotations or casts
  });

  implement("name", cb) with a plain string still works via overload.

• Optional-arg truthfulness. required: false with no default types as | undefined, matching Arguments.parse (which skips such args); args with a default stay non-optional (defaults are inserted unconverted), and an absent required behaves as required.

• Full API surface typed from source: Result (ok/err/table/status/from → RenderResult per result.luau), Ranks (incl. RankEntity = Player | userId and the built-in rank-name union), Dispatch, Kommand, Arguments (incl. the Arguments.types converter registry), Chat, Render, and every Config group so create() overrides autocomplete.

• Editor completions inside args. define's type parameter now defaults to its constraint instead of [] — the empty-tuple default gave partially-typed arg objects a never contextual type, so editors showed no property completions.

Verification

• Signatures traced module-by-module against src/ (dispatch, kommand, arguments, ranks, config, result, controller).
• Typechecked in a roblox-ts project (TS 5.5), including tsserver completion probes and tuple-optionality assertions.
• const type parameters require TS ≥ 5.0 (roblox-ts already requires newer).

Notes

• host's implementations record uses Run<Array<any>> — unknown[] would reject typed callbacks under contravariance.
• ExecuteResult is Outcome | RenderResult; commands returning arbitrary tables still pass through at runtime.
• Render.Formatter / Render.Text are left unknown (UI internals).

Disclosure

The main thing I wanted fixed was auto-typing for implement — in the upstream typings, define returns a plain Command with no arg capture, implement takes (name: string, callback: Run) where Run is (context, ...unknown[]), and all the sub-modules (Ranks, Dispatch, Context.dispatch, etc.) are typed unknown. So there was no inference at all: you'd define a command with a typed args schema and still have to manually annotate every callback parameter.

The upstream Client interface also has every member as an arrow property (dot-call style), but the Luau controller uses colon-methods, so all Konsole.create() client calls were emitting client.show() with no self and failing at runtime.

I didn't have time to audit the full typings rewrite myself, so I ran it through Claude (Fable 5), which traced each declaration against the Luau source module-by-module. I've reviewed the result and it's been tested in-game, but a second pair of eyes on the API surface wouldn't hurt.

after reviewing, please fix the RunArgs helper first. In a roblox-ts TS 5.5 test with @rbxts/types + @rbxts/compiler-types and skipLibCheck=false, typings/index.d.ts errors at RunArgs: Type '"length"' cannot be used to index type 'T', after that is fixed, i'm good with merging
