Research direction

Start with the package lookup paths in boltlang-base-db and trace how boltlang-hir-def, boltlang-cli, and bolt-language-server use them. The issue proposes checking the nearest .bolt/packages before compiler-bundled packages; identify the relevant tests and run them. Done means projects can resolve bundled std while local packages take precedence.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement scope:cli scope:lsp scope:std

A project now needs its own copy of std in .bolt/packages. The compiler could come with std: packages would be looked up in the nearest .bolt/packages first, then in the bundled ones.

Crates: boltlang-base-db, boltlang-hir-def, boltlang-cli, bolt-language-server.
