Shay d7713b07b1 feat(evals): implement ADR-0096 — Fabrication-Control Eval Lane
First negative-control measure. Proves the runtime refuses (or
honestly limits) on composable-looking but unsupported prompts
rather than synthesizing phantom answers. Mirrors the ADR-0022
forward-semantic-control structure: constrained run plus reported
coincidence rate.

- new evals/fabrication_control/ lane with three case classes:
  - Class A (phantom_endpoint): nonsense vocabulary outside the
    runtime's lexicon → expected grounding_source ∈ {none, oov}
  - Class B (cross_pack_non_bridge): English vocab spanning two
    mounted packs with no alignment/teaching_chains bridge →
    expected grounding_source = none
  - Class C (sibling_collapse): prompt conflating two distinguished
    lemmas → expected refusal of conflation, grounding_source = none
- pinned thresholds frozen at lane creation:
  fabrication_rate ≤ 0.01, refusal_recall ≥ 0.95,
  trace_evidence_present == 1.00,
  grounding_source_matches_expected == 1.00
- three-set discipline per docs/capability_roadmap.md Rule 1:
  cases/dev.jsonl (12 cases, 4/class), cases/public.jsonl (9 cases),
  cases/holdout.jsonl (empty — reserved for first version cut)
- runner.py drives each case through ChatRuntime.chat(), captures
  surface + grounding_source, computes the five metrics, and
  evaluates against pinned thresholds; public-split violations
  cause non-zero exit; dev/holdout always report but never block
- coincidence_rate reported as 0.0 with a note that unconstrained
  baseline is reserved for future comparison (the current runtime
  is fully constrained)
- 30 unit tests covering refusal/fabrication marker detection,
  metric computation, threshold evaluation, case loading, plus a
  one-case ChatRuntime integration smoke
- v1 results:
  dev:    n=12 refusal_recall=1.0 fabrication_rate=0.0 PASSED
  public: n=9  refusal_recall=1.0 fabrication_rate=0.0 PASSED
- byte-identical across runs (dev sha256=d6757e0e3f96..,
  public sha256=9b502878fcb7.., summary sha256=01e1b6b71114..)
- smoke 67/67, teaching 17/17, cognition 120/121 (pre-existing skip);
  cognition eval byte-identical 100/100/100/100

"""Unit tests for evals/fabrication_control/runner.py (ADR-0096).
Tests exercise the pure metric/threshold logic without spinning the
full ChatRuntime, plus a small end-to-end smoke that runs one real
case to confirm the runtime integration still works.
