## Summary
- Change Abstraction, Application, and Variable to use private fields with getter methods.
- Return value types instead of pointers from constructors.
- Update all type switches to match value types instead of pointer types.
## Test plan
- [x] All existing tests pass (`make test`).

## Description
This PR completes the MVC-inspired refactoring by moving the event system from the engine into the reducer.
The engine package is now removed entirely, as the reducer handles both reduction logic and lifecycle events.
- Add `pkg/reducer/events.go` with `StartEvent`, `StepEvent`, and `StopEvent`.
- Extend `Reducer` interface to embed `Emitter[Event]` and add `Expression()` method.
- Update `NormalOrderReducer` to embed `BaseEmitter` and emit lifecycle events during reduction.
- Update all plugins to attach to `Reducer` instead of `Engine`.
- Remove `internal/engine` package entirely.
- Add `Off()` method to `BaseEmitter` to complete the `Emitter` interface.
- Fix `Emitter.On` signature to use generic type `E` instead of `string`.
### Decisions
- The `Reducer` interface now combines reduction logic with event emission, making it the single orchestration point.
- Plugins attach directly to the reducer, simplifying the architecture.
- The `Expression()` method on `Reducer` provides access to current state for plugins.
## Benefits
- Simpler architecture with one fewer abstraction layer.
- Plugins are now mode-agnostic - they work with any `Reducer` implementation.
- Cleaner separation: reducers handle reduction, plugins observe via events.
- Easier to add new evaluation modes - just implement `Reducer` with embedded emitter.
## Checklist
- [x] Code follows conventional commit format.
- [x] Branch follows naming convention (`<type>/<description>`).
- [x] Tests pass (if applicable).
- [ ] Documentation updated (if applicable).

## Description
This PR refactors the event emitter system from a string-based message passing approach to a type-safe generic implementation using typed events.
The previous system relied on string message names which were error-prone and lacked compile-time safety.
This refactoring introduces a generic `BaseEmitter[E comparable]` that provides type safety while consolidating the various tracker packages into a unified plugins architecture.
Key changes:
- Replace `Emitter` with generic `BaseEmitter[E comparable]` for type-safe event handling.
- Add `Event` type enumeration with `StartEvent`, `StepEvent`, and `StopEvent` constants.
- Create `Listener[E]` interface with `BaseListener` implementation for better abstraction.
- Consolidate `explanation`, `performance`, and `statistics` packages into unified `internal/plugins` package.
- Simplify CLI initialization by using plugin constructors that handle their own event subscriptions.
- Add `Items()` iterator method to `Set` for idiomatic Go 1.23+ range loops over sets.
### Decisions
Use generics for type-safe event handling.
This provides compile-time guarantees that event types match their handlers while maintaining flexibility for future event types.
Consolidate trackers into plugins architecture.
Previously separate packages (`explanation`, `performance`, `statistics`) now live under `internal/plugins`, making the plugin pattern explicit and easier to extend.
Plugin constructors self-register with engine.
Each plugin's `New*` constructor now handles its own event subscriptions, reducing boilerplate in the main CLI.
## Benefits
Type safety prevents runtime errors from typos in event names.
The compiler now catches mismatched event types at compile time rather than failing silently at runtime.
Cleaner plugin architecture makes adding new features easier.
New plugins follow a consistent pattern and live in a single location.
Reduced boilerplate in main CLI.
Plugin initialization is now a single function call rather than manual event registration.
Better testability through interface-based design.
The `Listener[E]` interface allows for easier mocking and testing of event handlers.
