This PR removes ajv from module position validation in js/utils.js and replaces it with straightforward JavaScript checks. The old schema only covered a few basic structure rules, so using ajv here felt heavier than necessary. The updated validation keeps the same expected behavior for valid configs and unknown-position warnings, but the code path is now easier to read and easier to reason about when something goes wrong.

Outcome: same validation behavior, one less dependency, less lines of production code and better test coverage.

The previous schema only enforced basic structure checks, so ajv added unnecessary complexity for this single validation path.

Replace ajv compile/validate with explicit JavaScript checks while keeping existing behavior for required module entries, position type validation, and unknown-position warnings.

Also removes a fragile ajv error-formatting path and fixes the JSDoc parameter type: data is the full config object, not a string.
