Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?fix(api):=20/api/neuron/list/<type>=20off-by-on?=
 =?UTF-8?q?e=20=E2=80=94=20slice=2016->17?=

str_slice(clean, 16, ...) left a leading slash on node_type ('/BacklogItem'), so
engram_scan_nodes_by_type_json matched nothing and list/<type> returned [] for EVERY type — silently
breaking backlog + typed-node listing across the app and MCP tools (reviewBacklog). Proven live: the
literal-scan endpoint /api/neuron/knowledge returns nodes; /api/neuron/list/Knowledge returned []. elc-clean.
NOTE: soul-core — needs dist/soul.c regen (Will); rides the same rebuild as #56/#57.
