Shay 103def317d feat(engine-state): generation-dir atomic checkpoint (ADR-0219)
Closes the cross-file checkpoint-atomicity gap in ADR-0156.  The four
checkpoint files now live in a committed gen-NNNN/ directory; the single
atomic os.replace of a 'current' pointer file is the commit boundary.
A kill before the pointer swap leaves the prior committed generation
intact; a kill after commits the new generation.  Unreferenced gen dirs
are ignored.  ADR-0156's deferred parent-dir fsync is also closed.

Key changes:
- engine_state/__init__.py: begin_generation() + commit_generation() +
  _resolve_dir() for all load_* methods.  Flat-layout legacy checkpoints
  migrate into gen-0000 on first begin_generation call.  GC retains K=2
  committed generations.
- chat/runtime.py: checkpoint_engine_state uses the two-phase commit;
  finalize_turn_trace_hash no longer writes discovery_candidates outside
  the generation sequence (the second unguarded write path is closed).
- evals/l10_continuity/runner.py: _inject_orphan_tmp updated to inject
  the two orphan shapes of the generation model.
- tests/test_adr_0219_generation_checkpoint.py: 18 tests, one per
  acceptance-gate bullet + biting mutation variant each.

L10 lane: all_gates_pass=true; versor_condition<1e-6 throughout.
Smoke: 95 passed. Runtime: 20 passed.

"""Generation-dir checkpoint persistence (ADR-0146 / ADR-0156 / ADR-0219).
engine_state/ is the mutable checkpoint directory for per-session engine
state that must survive reboot. Each checkpoint is now an atomic committed
**generation**: a complete, fsync-ed ``gen-NNNN/`` directory pointed to by a
single ``current`` file whose atomic replacement is the commit boundary.
Layout (ADR-0219 generation-dir model):
engine_state/
gen-0041/
recognizers.jsonl -- one DerivedRecognizer per line
discovery_candidates.jsonl -- one DiscoveryCandidate per line
session_state.json -- bit-exact field/vault/anchor/graph snapshot
manifest.json -- schema_version, git revision, turn_count
current -- one line: "gen-0041"; pointer swap = commit
Commit is the single atomic ``os.replace`` of ``current``. A kill before the
swap leaves the prior ``current`` intact (the prior generation is the committed
state). A kill after the swap commits the new generation. Incomplete
``gen-NNNN/`` directories without a ``current`` entry are garbage, ignored.
**Legacy (flat) layout — read-only fallback and migration:**
A pre-0219 flat ``engine_state/`` (manifest.json at root, no ``current``)
is read transparently by all ``load_*`` methods. On the first
``begin_generation()`` call, flat files are copied into ``gen-0000/`` and
``current`` is written; subsequent checkpoints use the generation model.

- **Flat** (legacy pre-0219): files at the store root. ``load_*``
methods fall back to this when no ``current`` file exists, so old
checkpoints are readable without migration. The first
``begin_generation`` call migrates flat state into ``gen-0000/`` and
writes ``current``.
The ``save_*`` / ``load_*`` methods write/read relative to ``self.path``
directly. In the generation-dir model, callers pass a temporary
``EngineStateStore(gen_dir)`` instance so ``save_*`` naturally writes
into the pending generation directory. Load methods resolve the active
generation via ``_resolve_dir()`` (or ``self.path`` for flat layout).
