lc target (removed)

The target/options subsystem (per-machine targets with QoS, constraint, and time-limit options) was removed. lightcone-cli now resolves the container runtime and the cluster shape from a much smaller surface:

  • Container runtime~/.lightcone/config.yaml carries a single container.runtime key (auto | docker | podman | podman-hpc | none). See lc setup and api/container.
  • Cluster shape — derived at runtime from the environment. lc run always dispatches through a Dask cluster; the cluster manager picks LocalCluster on a workstation, srun-launched workers when SLURM_JOB_ID is set, or whatever scheduler is on DASK_SCHEDULER_ADDRESS if you are connecting to one. See api/dask_cluster.

There are no project-level target files, no .lightcone/lightcone.yaml shape beyond an opaque scratchpad, and no lc target command.
