Shay de645055ea feat(algebra): incidence algebra — graded_wedge, dual, meet + honest outer_product
Adds the correct grade-raising "wire" the field substrate was missing — so cga_inner
can operate on RELATIONS among entities (lines/planes/incidence), not just pairwise
point distance. Built only from existing Cl(4,1) primitives (geometric_product,
grade_project) + the pseudoscalar; no normalization, no approximation, versor_condition
path untouched (flats are null-cone wedges, not unit versors).

- outer_product: DOCSTRING-ONLY honesty fix (behavior byte-identical, every caller
  unchanged). It is the commutator 0.5*(XY-YX) = the wedge ONLY for grade-1 vectors;
  for higher grades it is the Lie bracket, NOT the wedge, and does NOT build a k-blade
  by repetition. Existing callers consume it as an opaque cga_inner-reduced feature
  (none read it by grade), so the relabel is safe. Points to graded_wedge for the real
  exterior product.
- graded_wedge(X,Y) = <XY>_{grade(X)+grade(Y)} — the true wedge; agrees with
  outer_product on grade-1, differs above (pinned by test). Builds lines/planes.
- is_incident(point, flat): EXACT zero-test (point^flat == 0, no float tolerance to
  admit — near-incident is refused, per wrong=0). Exact at scale in f64.
- dual(X) = X*I5^{-1} (I5^2=-1 confirmed); involutive up to sign.
- meet(A,B) = dual(dual(A)^dual(B)): correct for spanning operands (two planes -> their
  line, incidence verified). HONEST ENVELOPE: degenerates for non-spanning operands
  (coplanar lines) — returns the ZERO multivector (detectable, documented, tested),
  never a silent wrong value. The general coplanar intersection needs the join-relative
  meet, deliberately NOT faked here.

Green: smoke 87, algebra 82, incidence 8, outer_product consumers + invariants 109;
zero regressions (outer_product behavior unchanged).

Conformal Geometric Algebra geometry on Cl(4,1).
Signature: (+,+,+,+,-), with Euclidean coordinates on e1,e2,e3.
The two conformal null directions are built from e4 and e5:
n_o = 0.5 * (e4 - e5) # origin, n_o^2 = 0
n_inf = e4 + e5 # infinity, n_inf^2 = 0
n_o · n_inf = -1
A Euclidean point x embeds as:
X = x + n_o + 0.5 * |x|^2 * n_inf
Then X·X = 0 and X·Y = -0.5 * ||x-y||^2.
This is the ONLY distance metric in CORE-AI.
No cosine similarity. No L2 norm. No approximate indexing.
