Generator

Generates LICENSE files from composer.json metadata.

This class orchestrates the license generation workflow:

1. Reads metadata from composer.json via Reader
2. Resolves the license identifier to a template filename
3. Uses the central Template Engine and VariablesFactory to map out the substitutions
4. Writes the resulting LICENSE file to the target path

Generation is skipped if a LICENSE file already exists or if the license is not supported.
