This pull request introduces major improvements to the `granc` gRPC CLI, focusing on enhanced introspection and discovery features, a more user-friendly command-line interface, and improved error and output formatting. The changes include new commands for listing and describing services, methods, and messages, a restructured CLI argument parser, and a new formatter for colored, readable output. Additionally, the core client is extended to support these new features, and error handling is refactored for clarity.
**New CLI features and UX improvements:**
* Added new `list` and `describe` commands to the CLI, allowing users to discover available services and inspect service/message definitions directly from the server using reflection. The CLI argument structure is now subcommand-based for better usability.

**Core client and reflection enhancements:**
* Implemented new methods in the core client for listing services and fetching symbol descriptors via reflection, including robust error types for each operation.

**Output formatting and error handling:**
* Added a new `formatter` module for producing colored, human-friendly output for all major CLI operations, including pretty-printing of service lists, descriptors, and errors.
* Improved error handling throughout the client and CLI, with more specific error types and user-facing messages.

**Dependency and project structure updates:**
* Updated dependencies and added the `colored` crate for output styling.
This pull request introduces a significant internal refactor of the `granc` project, decoupling core dynamic gRPC client logic into a new reusable library crate (`granc-core`). It also improves project organization, updates documentation, and enhances workspace configuration. The main CLI functionality is now built atop this new core, making future maintenance and extensibility easier.
**Project structure and workspace improvements:**
- Created a new crate, `granc-core`, to encapsulate all core dynamic gRPC client logic, including schema resolution, dynamic request dispatch, and reflection support. This enables potential reuse outside the CLI and clarifies project boundaries. (`granc-core/Cargo.toml`, `granc-core/src/client.rs`, [[1]](diffhunk://#diff-dd6f7ed591a1bd2577444d0079c1f56851ef74e3b9df75a86ef4af76681435f6R1-R126) [[2]](diffhunk://#diff-ddab7585cf4c860c9922ed56471bccf5804da60f0ccb174158fd31b9b82457abR1-R46) [[3]](diffhunk://#diff-46d757daaa6737f1a6247142e8abff1cb5079109e641c447e8a9793ea1f063adR1-R186)
- Updated workspace configuration in `Cargo.toml` to include `granc-core`, centralize dependency versions, and set workspace-wide package metadata for consistency. (`Cargo.toml`, [Cargo.tomlL2-R26](diffhunk://#diff-2e9d962a08321605940b5a657135052fbcef87b5e360662bb527c96d9a615542L2-R26))
- Adjusted `echo-service` and other crates to use workspace-wide settings for edition and authors. (`echo-service/Cargo.toml`, [echo-service/Cargo.tomlL3-R3](diffhunk://#diff-e74eb8a3bebf341a9bee1cdcd5cd3a50e15998db5a9df9eaf9e7aec341287b1eL3-R3))
**Documentation :**
- Added a detailed `README.md` for both the main project and the new `granc-core` library, providing clear installation, usage, and architecture guidance for users and contributors. (`README.md`, `granc-core/README.md`, [[1]](diffhunk://#diff-b335630551682c19a781afebcf4d07bf978fb1f8ac04c6bf87428ed5106870f5R1-R172) [[2]](diffhunk://#diff-dd6f7ed591a1bd2577444d0079c1f56851ef74e3b9df75a86ef4af76681435f6R1-R126)
**Build and tooling updates:**
- Updated `Makefile.toml` to use workspace-wide test runs and renamed tasks/binaries for consistency with the new crate layout. (`Makefile.toml`, [[1]](diffhunk://#diff-9375fd04332c86472d7be397ef09428cb86babd8826880a5835bd1d1c1bdbc08L18-R18) [[2]](diffhunk://#diff-9375fd04332c86472d7be397ef09428cb86babd8826880a5835bd1d1c1bdbc08L45-R50)

**Key changes:**
**1. Core library extraction and refactor**
- Moved dynamic gRPC client logic (including `GrancClient`, request/response types, and reflection handling) into a new `granc-core` crate, decoupling it from the CLI and preparing for independent publishing. [[1]](diffhunk://#diff-ddab7585cf4c860c9922ed56471bccf5804da60f0ccb174158fd31b9b82457abR1-R46) [[2]](diffhunk://#diff-46d757daaa6737f1a6247142e8abff1cb5079109e641c447e8a9793ea1f063adR1-R186)
**2. Workspace and dependency management**
- Updated the root `Cargo.toml` to add `granc-core` as a workspace member, centralize dependency versions, and set workspace-wide metadata fields (authors, edition, license, etc.).
- Adjusted `echo-service` and new crates to inherit workspace settings for consistency.
**3. Documentation**
- Updated and added comprehensive `README.md` files for both the main project and the new core library, with installation, usage, and architecture sections. [[1]](diffhunk://#diff-b335630551682c19a781afebcf4d07bf978fb1f8ac04c6bf87428ed5106870f5R1-R172) [[2]](diffhunk://#diff-dd6f7ed591a1bd2577444d0079c1f56851ef74e3b9df75a86ef4af76681435f6R1-R126)
- Introduced a `CHANGELOG.md` to document project history and recent changes.
**4. Build and CI tooling**
- Updated test and generation commands in `Makefile.toml` to reflect the new workspace structure and binary names. [[1]](diffhunk://#diff-9375fd04332c86472d7be397ef09428cb86babd8826880a5835bd1d1c1bdbc08L18-R18) [[2]](diffhunk://#diff-9375fd04332c86472d7be397ef09428cb86babd8826880a5835bd1d1c1bdbc08L45-R50)
**5. Housekeeping**
- Removed outdated or redundant files as part of the refactor. [[1]](diffhunk://#diff-06572a96a58dc510037d5efa622f9bec8519bc1beab13c9f251e97e657a9d4edL1) [[2]](diffhunk://#diff-b335630551682c19a781afebcf4d07bf978fb1f8ac04c6bf87428ed5106870f5L1)
This refactor lays the groundwork for improved maintainability, easier future development, and potential wider adoption of the dynamic gRPC client logic outside the CLI.
