Simplify module metadata to focus on essential system information

- Reduce module.yaml files from 100+ lines to ~25 lines focused on system needs
- Remove pedagogical details (learning objectives, difficulty, time estimates)
- Keep only essential fields: name, title, description, status, dependencies, exports, files, components
- Update status command to work with simplified metadata format
- Update metadata generation script to create simplified templates
- Focus on system metadata for CLI tools and build systems, not educational content

Before: Verbose pedagogical metadata with 20+ fields
After: Concise system metadata with 8 core fields

This aligns with the principle that module.yaml should be for systems, not pedagogy.
