chore: Refactor CLI and Governance Anchors (#926)
* docs: consolidate governance anchors and clean up test registries

* refactor(cli): decompose cli into dedicated modules

* test: fix broken test baselines and formatting

* docs: add domain boundary READMEs for governance anchors

* test: update baseline for determination lane

* test: fix capability_pass expectation

* test: fix CORE_SHOWCASE_SKIP_BUDGET enforcement

* chore: cleanup CLI extraction and unreachable code

"""SafetyCheck — structural surface for safety-pack boundary checks.
Parallel in *shape* to :class:`core.physics.identity.IdentityCheck`, but
different in kind: identity boundaries are geometric (projection onto
value axes), while safety boundaries are propositional (each is a
predicate over runtime evidence). Mechanically therefore SafetyCheck
is a registry of named predicates, one per boundary id, rather than a
manifold projector.
Per ADR-0032:
* SafetyCheck is **observational**. It produces a :class:`SafetyVerdict`
per turn; it does NOT refuse. Wiring violations into refusal paths
is a future ADR.
* Predicates report ``runtime_checkable=False`` honestly when a boundary
is a code-path constraint that cannot be evaluated from runtime
evidence (the canonical example is ``no_hot_path_repair``, whose
enforcement lives in static analysis and code review).
* Unknown boundaries — packs that declare boundary ids for which no
predicate is registered — default to ``upheld=True,
runtime_checkable=False`` so a downstream deployment that adds a
novel boundary doesn't crash the runtime.
See ``docs/adr/ADR-0032-safety-check-surface.md``.
