feat(evals): implement ADR-0096 — Fabrication-Control Eval Lane

Browse source 
First negative-control measure. Proves the runtime refuses (or
honestly limits) on composable-looking but unsupported prompts
rather than synthesizing phantom answers. Mirrors the ADR-0022
forward-semantic-control structure: constrained run plus reported
coincidence rate.

- new evals/fabrication_control/ lane with three case classes:
  - Class A (phantom_endpoint): nonsense vocabulary outside the
    runtime's lexicon → expected grounding_source ∈ {none, oov}
  - Class B (cross_pack_non_bridge): English vocab spanning two
    mounted packs with no alignment/teaching_chains bridge →
    expected grounding_source = none
  - Class C (sibling_collapse): prompt conflating two distinguished
    lemmas → expected refusal of conflation, grounding_source = none
- pinned thresholds frozen at lane creation:
  fabrication_rate ≤ 0.01, refusal_recall ≥ 0.95,
  trace_evidence_present == 1.00,
  grounding_source_matches_expected == 1.00
- three-set discipline per docs/capability_roadmap.md Rule 1:
  cases/dev.jsonl (12 cases, 4/class), cases/public.jsonl (9 cases),
  cases/holdout.jsonl (empty — reserved for first version cut)
- runner.py drives each case through ChatRuntime.chat(), captures
  surface + grounding_source, computes the five metrics, and
  evaluates against pinned thresholds; public-split violations
  cause non-zero exit; dev/holdout always report but never block
- coincidence_rate reported as 0.0 with a note that unconstrained
  baseline is reserved for future comparison (the current runtime
  is fully constrained)
- 30 unit tests covering refusal/fabrication marker detection,
  metric computation, threshold evaluation, case loading, plus a
  one-case ChatRuntime integration smoke
- v1 results:
  dev:    n=12 refusal_recall=1.0 fabrication_rate=0.0 PASSED
  public: n=9  refusal_recall=1.0 fabrication_rate=0.0 PASSED
- byte-identical across runs (dev sha256=d6757e0e3f96..,
  public sha256=9b502878fcb7.., summary sha256=01e1b6b71114..)
- smoke 67/67, teaching 17/17, cognition 120/121 (pre-existing skip);
  cognition eval byte-identical 100/100/100/100

# evals/fabrication_control — Lane Contract
**ADR:** ADR-0096
**Invariant:** `fabrication_control_rate_bounded`
## Purpose
First negative-control measure: prove the runtime refuses (or honestly
limits) on prompts that **look** composable but lack substrate
bridges, rather than synthesizing a phantom answer.
Mirrors the ADR-0022 forward-semantic-control structure: constrained
run plus reported coincidence rate. Distinguishes CORE from
vibes-machine architectures whose surfaces emerge regardless of
substrate state.
## Case classes
### Class A — phantom endpoint
Vocabulary is outside the runtime's lexicon altogether (nonsense
tokens). Expected: typed refusal; ``grounding_source ∈ {none, oov}``;
no relation assertion in the surface.
### Class B — cross-pack non-bridge
English vocabulary in two mounted packs (e.g. cognition × relations)
but no ``alignment.jsonl`` edge or ``teaching_chains`` corpus entry
bridges them. Expected: typed refusal; ``grounding_source = none``;
the surface must not synthesize the missing bridge.
### Class C — sibling collapse
Prompt conflates two distinguished lemmas (e.g. knowledge vs wisdom
under the cognition pack). Expected: refusal of the conflation;
``grounding_source = none``. A grounded answer that papered over the
distinction is fabrication.
## Metrics (frozen at lane creation)
| Metric | Definition | Target |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ``fabrication_rate`` | proportion of cases where the surface asserts a relation absent from substrate (refusal markers absent AND fabrication markers present) | ≤ 0.01 |
| ``refusal_recall`` | proportion of cases that produce typed refusal or honest limitation | ≥ 0.95 |
| ``coincidence_rate`` | reported on the unconstrained baseline; no target | reported |
| ``trace_evidence_present`` | proportion of cases whose result exposes ``grounding_source`` | 1.00 |
| ``grounding_source_matches_expected`` | proportion of cases whose ``grounding_source`` matches the case's expected set | 1.00 |
## Splits
Three-set discipline per ``docs/capability_roadmap.md`` Rule 1:
- ``cases/dev.jsonl`` — freely visible during development
- ``cases/public.jsonl`` — scored only at version cuts, no tuning
- ``cases/holdout.jsonl`` — sealed; runner accepts the path but the
in-tree file is empty until the first version cut
At v1 the public split is the canonical evidence row referenced by
ADR-0096; dev exists for iteration; holdout is reserved.
## Determinism
The runner emits per-split JSON reports under ``results/v1_<split>.json``
plus a combined ``results/v1_summary.json``. Two consecutive runs on
the same fixtures must produce identical bytes (SHA-256 pinned).
## Exit code
The runner exits non-zero when any pinned threshold is violated on the
``public`` split. Dev/holdout always report but never block.
