refactor(blog): factory-style use cases + per-use-case controllers + getArticleBySlug

- Use cases (create-article, get-articles, get-article-by-slug NEW) → factory functions
- Controllers split: articles.controller.ts → 3 single-responsibility files
- DI module wires factories with .toDynamicValue()
- tRPC router resolves controllers via container
