Shay 7feb239fdd feat(formation/templates): four new course templates + shared helpers
Adds the four templates called out in docs/teaching_order.md so the formation
pipeline can ratify more than just definitional ontologies:

* composed_relation — Layer 4.  Chains are the unit of mastery; each chain of
  length >= 2 emits a composed_relations entry with composition_kind
  (transitive | lifting), an inferred relation, and chain-break adversarial
  probes drawn from counters or canned.
* procedural — ordered state transitions; strict_linear_topo refuses
  branches, cycles, and disconnected components at render time.
  ordering_hints validated against the linear chain.  Canned violation
  probes for precondition_violation / step_skip / back_edge.
* falsification — counter-example-driven.  Counters move to Phase 2 paired
  with coherent alternatives drawn from relations sharing the same head.
  Unmatched counters surface in unmatched_counters; false-coherent probes
  emitted per pair.
* identity_anchor — Layer 1 seeding.  Concepts interpreted as identity axes
  ranked by ordering_hints; counters interpreted as override attempts;
  canned IDENTITY_OVERRIDE_PROBES always appended.

Common helpers extracted to formation/templates/_common.py: canonical
constants (MAX_VERSOR_CONDITION, RATIFICATION_GATES, PROMOTION_PATH,
IDENTITY_OVERRIDE_PROBES, NORMALIZATION_FORBIDDEN_SITES), deterministic
ordering (sorted_concepts/_counters/_hints, topo_sorted_relations,
strict_linear_topo), payload builders, geometric_dependencies,
maximal_chain_walks, adversarial_block, course_id, subject_payload,
substrate_invariants_payload, phase_5_payload.

formation/templates/__init__.py now dispatches via a lazy-import _REGISTRY
keyed by template_id; registered_template_ids() exposed for callers and
tests.  definition.py refactored to use _common verbatim — byte-stability
preserved (existing test_compose.py still passes; test_sha_stable_across_
subprocess unchanged).

Tests: 44 new tests across test_template_{composed_relation,procedural,
falsification,identity_anchor,registry}.py.  Each new template gets
determinism, paradigm-structure, error-handling, and cross-subprocess SHA
stability tests; registry test asserts the five known ids and that
identical inputs through different templates produce different SHAs.

Formation suite: 138 -> 182 passing.  cognition (121) and smoke (67)
suites unchanged.  ratify.py enforcement of the new paradigm-specific
gates (every_composed_relation_replayed, linear_order_strict, etc.)
remains a documented follow-up — templates declare the gates in their
phase_5 body so the ratifier extension is purely additive.

"""Shared helpers for Course YAML templates.
Every template in this package emits a JSON-shaped dict that obeys the same
contract: strings/ints/bools/lists/dicts only (no floats), deterministic
ordering, source attribution preserved, six ratification gates declared, one
promotion path. The paradigm-specific bits (which phases mean what, which
walks are first-class, which adversarial probes are canned) live in each
template's own module. Everything else lives here.
Determinism rule of thumb: every function in this module is a pure mapping
from its inputs to its output. No clocks, no PIDs, no dict-iteration
ordering reliance, no hash-randomized comparisons.
