Jim Liu 宝玉 40f4d2f730 refactor(baoyu-cover-image): replace 20 styles with 5D palette×rendering system
Migrate from 4-dimension (Type×Style×Text×Mood) to 5-dimension
(Type×Palette×Rendering×Text×Mood) system. 9 palettes × 6 renderings
= 54 combinations replacing 20 fixed styles. Add style presets for
backward compatibility, v2→v3 schema migration, and new reference
structure (palettes/, renderings/, workflow/).
