Subject: [PATCH] feat(migration): Port weapon factory logic to Source 2
 VScript

- Analyze legacy `csgo.py` logic for weapon creation/finding.
- Create `cs_weapon_factory.lua` for Source 2.
- Prioritize native `Entities:CreateByClassname` over legacy workarounds.
- Document limitations regarding NetProp access in VScript.

+    Source 2 Migration of Source.Python's CS:GO Entity Engine Logic.
+
+    Ported from: addons/source-python/packages/source-python/entities/engines/csgo/csgo.py
+
+    Jules's Note:
+    In Source 2 (CS2), most weapons like 'weapon_m4a1_silencer' are native entities and do not require
+    the legacy Source 1 workaround of spawning a parent class and hacking the Item Definition Index.
+
+    This factory prioritizes the NATIVE Source 2 method. The legacy mapping is preserved only as a
+    fallback logic reference, but is disabled by default to prevent degrading specific weapons
+    (e.g., Silenced M4 becoming M4A4) unless absolutely necessary.
