Applies the transformation script across all applications in the Tests/Manual directory to eliminate Narwhal-era dependencies and establish compatibility with the modern Node-based runner.
* Removes explicit `require("jake")` calls in favor of the injected JAKE global.
* Replaces legacy `cappuccino/jake` application instantiation with the `CAPPUCCINO.Jake.applicationtask.app` hook.
* Substitutes archaic `system`, `file`, and `os` API calls with native Node `child_process`, `fs`, and `path` modules.
* Corrects package paths for nativehost deployment targets.
* Execute batch structural upgrade of all XIB files within ./Tests/Manual to modern XML DOM format using ibtool (Xcode 26.3) to resolve imminent Xcode 27 parsing failures.
* Add regenerate-test-cibs.py script to recursively compile the modernized XIB documents into CIB artifacts within Tests/Manual/ using the local nib2cib toolchain.
* Commit the updated CIB artifacts to maintain CI and test execution parity.
*Include batch execution bash and Python scripts with LGPL-2 licensing to serve as reference migration templates for the community.
-tableView:dataViewForTableColumn:row: and -outlineView:dataViewForTableColumn:item: are deprecated in favor of ...viewForTableColumn:...
Using the previous delegate API and not caching the view with an identifier was degrading performance. With this change, developers are encouraged to use the new caching system and the CPTableView method -makeViewWithIdentifier:owner: to get the view.
Also fixed a condition where a view-based outline view was not always asking for the view from its delegate. In some circumstances, an outline view could be considered as view-based instead of cell-based.
Test for deprecated delegate methods in CPOutlineViewViewBasedCib and TableTest/ViewBased examples.
Fixes#1823
