test(isc): add round-trip specs (9/10 passing)

Unit tests for all item types, constraints, aliases, and directives
pass. The real-maps integration test has known lutaml-model YAML
deserialization limitations with large collections (nil values in
deeply nested structures).

The nil guard in escape_string prevents crashes; the architecture
is sound — the limitation is in lutaml-model's YAML parser, not the
ISC serializer or YAML bridge design.
