No way to select kernel backend; requested backend silently falls back to js #22

Description

@ruvnet

Summary

There is no supported way to select or require a specific kernel backend, and no clear error when the requested one is unavailable.

Observed

  • METAHARNESS_KERNEL_BACKEND=wasm node bin/cli.js doctor → still reports js, silently.
  • Nothing tells the operator that wasm/native couldn't be loaded or why.

Suggested

  • Honor an env/flag (e.g. METAHARNESS_KERNEL_BACKEND=wasm|native|js).
  • When the requested backend can't load, fail loudly (or warn) with the reason, instead of silently using js.
  • Expose the resolved backend + the reason in kernelInfo().
