Rename vendors to third parties
Renames the user-facing 'vendor' concept to 'third party' across the entire codebase. The shared common_third_parties reference table is unchanged. Migration. Renames the vendor_category enum, the vendors and vendor_<entity> tables (contacts, services, compliance_reports, business_associate_agreements, data_privacy_agreements, risk_assessments) and their vendor_id columns, the asset_vendors / data_vendors / processing_activity_vendors junction tables, generated_documents.vendors_document_id, the webhook_event_type 'vendor:<verb>' values, and the snapshots_type 'VENDORS' value. Backend. Renames coredata models and SQL queries, probo services, GraphQL / MCP API surface, console / trust / webhook resolvers and types, the CLI (prb vendor* -> prb third-party*; pkg/cmd/vendormgmt -> pkg/cmd/thirdpartymgmt), the document generator, vetting agent prompts, and the common-third-parties-import command. Frontend, packages, n8n, e2e. Renames apps/console pages, components, hooks, routes, dialogs, and tabs; the shared @probo/vendors package (now @probo/third-parties); the @probo/ui Vendors atoms (now ThirdParties, VendorLogo -> ThirdPartyLogo); the n8n community node actions/vendor folder (now actions/thirdParty); and the e2e Go test suite (console and MCP). Filesystem and URL paths use kebab-case (third-parties), GraphQL fields and TypeScript identifiers use camelCase (thirdParty / thirdParties), Go types use PascalCase (ThirdParty), and human-facing text uses 'third party' with a space.
