feat(p3): core teaching service with Outbox + Kafka event bus

P3 阶段交付物： - services/core-edu: 教学核心服务（DDD 限界上下文：exams/grades/homework/classes） - exams: 考试 CRUD + 事务内写 exam + outbox - grades: 成绩 CRUD - homework: 作业 CRUD - classes.module: 复用 P1 classes 模块（聚合到 core-edu 服务） - Outbox 模式实现： - outbox.schema.ts: core_edu_outbox 表（id/aggregate_id/event_type/payload/status/retry_count） - outbox.repository.ts: 支持事务参数 tx，确保业务+事件原子性 - outbox.publisher.ts: Kafka idempotent producer + transactionalId，TOPIC_MAP 路由 9 种事件，MAX_RETRY=5 - config/kafka.ts: idempotent producer + transactionalId 配置 - main.ts: 启动顺序 initTracer → connectKafka → outboxPublisher.start → app.listen - packages/shared-proto/proto/core_edu.proto: ExamService/HomeworkService/GradeService 契约 - packages/shared-proto/proto/events.proto: ClassEvent/ExamEvent/HomeworkEvent/GradeEvent 领域事件契约

+# core-edu 教学核心服务
+
+> P3 核心教学阶段骨架 | 端口 3004
+
+## 职责
+
+core-edu 是教学核心限界上下文，合并 P1 的 classes 域，管理考试 / 作业 / 成绩聚合。
+覆盖教学全链路：考试发布、作业提交、成绩录入与查询。
+
+## 模块结构
+
+```
+src/
+├─ config/           # env / database / kafka
+├─ shared/
+│  ├─ outbox/        # 事务性发件箱（schema + repository + publisher）
+│  ├─ errors/        # 应用错误 + 全局错误过滤器
+│  └─ observability/ # logger / metrics / tracer
+├─ middleware/       # auth.middleware / permission.guard
+├─ classes/          # P3 待合并（骨架）
+├─ exams/            # 考试域
+├─ homework/         # 作业域
+├─ grades/           # 成绩域
+├─ app.module.ts
+└─ main.ts
+```
+
+## 关键机制
+
+- **Outbox 模式**：写业务数据同事务写 `core_edu_outbox`，OutboxPublisher 定时扫描并发送到 Kafka，保证事件可靠投递。
+- **Kafka 集成**：idempotent + transactional producer，按 eventType 路由到 `edu.{domain}.events` 主题。
+- **事件契约**：见 `packages/shared-proto/proto/events.proto`。
+
+## 开发
+
+```bash
+pnpm install
+pnpm dev          # 端口 3004
+pnpm typecheck
+pnpm lint
+pnpm test
+```
+
+## 环境变量
+
+| 变量 | 说明 | 默认 |
+|------|------|------|
+| `PORT` | 服务端口 | 3004 |
+| `DATABASE_URL` | MySQL 连接串 | - |
+| `KAFKA_BROKERS` | Kafka broker 列表（逗号分隔） | localhost:9092 |
+| `JWT_SECRET` | JWT 密钥 | - |
+| `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` | OTLP 上报地址（可选） | - |
