§22 S6: type-driven entry noun (§22.4a) — backend source of truth + chrome

The displayed noun for an entry is a framework concept keyed on the collection's
immutable type — document→"RFC", specification→"Spec", bdd→"Feature" — not
deployment content. The chrome reads it from the API instead of hardcoding "RFC".

- collections.ENTRY_NOUN + entry_noun(type) (unknown type → generic "RFC").
- Surfaced as entry_noun on get_collection, list_collections items, the
  /api/deployment directory items, and GET /api/projects/:id.
- Frontend: Catalog reads entry_noun for the "+ Propose New <noun>" control;
  ProposeModal fetches the active collection's noun for its title + field copy.
- test_s6_entry_noun_vertical.py: map + API surfacing (collection + directory).

Scope note: this is §22.4a item (2) — terminology. The deeper type-module work
(item 1 per-type frontmatter schemas; item 3 specification release-planning +
bdd scenario/coverage surfaces) is flagged OPEN in the design doc and is handed
off to a follow-up spec+slice.

Backend 528 passed; frontend 30 passed + build green. Part of v0.45.0.
