The default system checklist template

- ChecklistTemplateResponse: A ChecklistTemplate is the reusable, staff-configured blueprint defining required pre-visit tasks, their category and expiration rules, and the conditions under which they apply (such as a specific appointment type, facility, or provider). Checklists are built from a template, but the resulting checklist is a snapshot copy; changes to the template require an explicit recreation job to resync already-created checklists.
