Research direction

Review the README and compare the light-rest-4j and light-hybrid-4j folders with the codegen functionality they contain. Define clear boundaries for light-codegen-demo, light-codegen, and light-hybrid-4j, then document the agreed repository structure and migration implications. Done means the project organization and purpose of each module are unambiguous.

Description

enhancement

From the readme (in progress of reviewing), i'm learning that a few of the folders in this projects more closely resemble sample/example code (for example light-rest-4j), and doesn't necessarily apply to the codegen functionality.
It was also a surprise to see light-hybrid-4j, a project which is functionally an api container, to be included in this repo.

Maybe it could be a consideration to split this up into light-codegen-demo, light-codegen, and you already have a light-hybrid-4j, so ... not sure.
