feat(pack-resolver): gloss resolver with lexicon-residency + dual-checksum hardening

Lands the gloss-loader scaffolding from feat/pack-glosses-wip onto
main, with every hardening item from the 2026-05-19 design review
built in from the start.  No glosses ship in this commit — only the
infrastructure that will consume them safely.

Hardening items (each pinned by a test):

1. Lexicon-residency check in resolve_gloss()
   chat/pack_resolver.py — resolve_gloss now requires the lemma to be
   present in the same pack's lexicon.jsonl BEFORE consulting
   glosses.jsonl.  Without this, glosses.jsonl would become a parallel
   surface-authoring channel that bypasses the lexicon's checksum
   seal: someone could ship a gloss for a lemma the pack never
   ratified, and the runtime would emit it as if it were pack content.

   Test: TestLexiconResidencyEnforced::test_gloss_for_unratified_lemma_is_rejected
   authors a gloss for ``gamma`` (a lemma not in the lexicon) and
   asserts resolve_gloss returns None.

2. Dual-checksum manifest support
   language_packs/schema.py — LanguagePackManifest gains an OPTIONAL
   ``glosses_checksum: str | None`` field.  Glosses are an additive
   overlay; bumping the glosses_checksum does NOT perturb the
   immutable lexicon checksum.
   language_packs/compiler.py — _load_pack_cached now verifies
   bytes-on-disk of glosses.jsonl against the manifest's
   glosses_checksum when present.  Missing field on legacy packs is
   back-compat (no verification, no raise).  Mismatch raises
   ValueError exactly like the lexicon checksum gate.

   Tests:
     test_matching_glosses_checksum_loads_clean — happy path
     test_checksum_mismatch_raises — tampered file rejected
     test_missing_glosses_checksum_is_back_compat — legacy packs OK

3. clear_resolver_cache() clears BOTH lexicon AND glosses LRU caches
   Previously only cleared _pack_lexicon_for, so test fixtures that
   wrote glosses.jsonl mid-process would see stale (empty) gloss data
   on subsequent resolve_gloss calls.

   Test: TestClearResolverCacheClearsBoth proves the issue exists
   without the clear, then proves the new code fixes it.

4. Malformed JSONL lines silently skipped
   A single bad line in glosses.jsonl must not break resolution for
   the rest of the pack.  Same defensive parsing as _pack_lexicon_for.
   Entries missing required fields (lemma, gloss, or empty values)
   are also skipped.

   Tests:
     test_malformed_line_skipped — invalid JSON between valid lines
     test_entry_missing_required_field_skipped — 4 bad shapes filtered

5. Missing glosses.jsonl is back-compat
   _pack_glosses_for returns an empty dict when the file is absent.
   resolve_gloss returns None.  No exception.  All 9 currently-
   ratified English packs ship with no glosses.jsonl — they must
   continue to load cleanly.

   Tests:
     test_pack_with_no_glosses_returns_empty
     test_resolve_gloss_on_lemma_without_gloss_file_returns_none

Verification:
  11/11 new tests green.
  Full cognition eval byte-identical.
  All currently-ratified packs continue to load without glosses.
