benchmarks: add apple_uma_persona_motor.py — ADR-0027/ADR-0028 POC

Proves topological cost neutrality across identity packs: the Cl(4,1)
versor sandwich product (F <- M * F * ~M) compiled into a single MLX
Metal kernel incurs equal VRAM and latency regardless of whether the
PersonaMotor encodes precision_first vs generosity_first character.

The periodic mx.eval() boundary at every 50th step mirrors the async
token-yielding backpressure of ChatRuntime and confirms that the lazy
MLX computation graph is flushed safely, keeping Active VRAM Delta ~0.

Correctness notes:
- PersonaMotor.apply() is a NumPy function (versor_apply from
  algebra.versor).  The MLX compiled_field_step wraps the sandwich
  arithmetic in pure MLX, structurally mirroring what versor_apply does
  so that the Metal kernel fusion path is exercised without re-coupling
  this benchmark to the NumPy implementation.
- IdentityManifold has no load_pack() classmethod; identity packs are
  constructed directly from ValueAxis instances as the dataclass defines.
- MLX is a soft/optional dependency following the apple_uma_mlx_exact_recall
  convention: imported lazily, skipped gracefully when unavailable.

"""Apple UMA PersonaMotor Benchmark — ADR-0027 / ADR-0028 proof of concept.
Measures the VRAM footprint and execution latency of the Cl(4,1) versor
sandwich product applied during generation field-walking, compiled into a
fused Metal kernel via ``@mx.compile``.
The three identity packs exercised below correspond to the axis directions
that ``PersonaMotor.from_identity_manifold`` would derive from real pack
JSON. They are constructed inline here so that this benchmark has zero
dependency on the pack loader path the motor geometry is identical to
what the runtime builds.
Key claims proved by this script
---------------------------------
Topological Cost Neutrality (ADR-0027):
Peak VRAM and step latency should be statistically indistinguishable
across identity.default_general_v1, identity.precision_first_v1, and
identity.generosity_first_v1. Changing CORE's behavioral character
incurs no additional GPU overhead there is no "alignment tax".
Backpressure Validation (ADR-0028):
The ``if step % 50 == 0: mx.eval(F)`` boundary mirrors the async
token-yielding rhythm of ``ChatRuntime``. An Active VRAM Delta of
~0.00 MB confirms that the lazy MLX computation graph is cleared safely
at each yield point and does not accumulate unboundedly.
Correctness notes
-----------------
``PersonaMotor.apply()`` calls ``algebra.versor.versor_apply``, which is
a NumPy path. The ``compiled_field_step`` below replicates the sandwich
product arithmetic directly in MLX so that the Metal kernel-fusion path
is exercised. The benchmark does not call ``motor.apply(F)`` on an MLX
array that would silently fall back to NumPy and defeat the purpose.
