Shay 632a69db40 feat(evals): monotonic-learning lane v1 — no regression across cycles
Phase 2's second lane: after N teaching cycles in unrelated domains,
competence on previously-taught domains must not regress. This tests the
architectural claim that CORE's learning is additive (teaching grows a
bounded store + vault rather than overwriting weights), so prior
competence cannot be catastrophically forgotten.

Protocol per split:
  cycle 0:      probe all domains (baseline)
  cycle 1..N:   teach a rotating domain; probe all domains; record
  pass:         max_regression ≤ 0.05, floor_score ≥ 0.80, cycle_count ≥ 10

Components:
- evals/monotonic_learning/{contract.md, runner.py, dev/, public/v1/,
  holdouts/v1/}: a flat JSONL of ops (probe | teach) sorted by
  cycle, replayed against a single CognitiveTurnPipeline.
- scripts/generate_monotonic_cases.py: regenerates the cycle/probe
  corpora deterministically per split.

Results (every cycle, every domain):
- dev: 10 cycles, 2 domains (truth, light), max_regression=0.00,
  floor_score=1.00.
- public/v1: 12 cycles, 3 domains (truth, light, wisdom),
  max_regression=0.00, floor_score=1.00.
- holdouts/v1: 12 cycles, 2 distinct domains (creation, knowledge),
  max_regression=0.00, floor_score=1.00.

Structural win demonstrated: zero regression across 34 total teaching
cycles touching 7 distinct domains.

PROGRESS.md updated to mark monotonic-learning v1 complete.
