Upgrade Convex to 1.42.3

[zbeyens]

• Auto release

🐛 Fixes ➖ N/A
🟢 95-100% confidence

Phase	🧪 Tests	🌐 Browser
Reproduced	🔴 target-invalid convex dev --local fallback	➖ N/A
Verified	🟢 bun check + 39 focused tests	➖ N/A

✅ Outcome

• Kitcn packages target Convex 1.42.3 and require Convex 1.42 or newer.
• convex init is the sole local bootstrap owner; the obsolete prompt fallback is deleted.
• Generated fixtures, lockfile, institutional guidance, and release changeset are synchronized.

⚠️ Caveat

• Convex 1.41 and older are intentionally outside the next kitcn release contract.

🏗️ Design

• Chosen layer: canonical dependency owner plus runConvexInitIfNeeded.
• Why not translate the removed flag: Convex 1.42 owns non-TTY backend upgrades.
• Why not wrap new Convex agent commands: kitcn already exposes them through passthrough boundaries.

🧪 Verified

• bun tooling/dependency-pins.ts upgrade convex 1.42.3
• 39 focused CLI and dependency-pin tests
• bun check
• Autoreview: zero findings, 0.91 correctness confidence
