Shay 6e0d114726 feat: held-out dev lane + first sound (wrong=0) ratio-chain reader
Lands the honest GSM8K iteration instrument and the first verifiable
reader, both measured on real held-out data + the sealed test.

THE INSTRUMENT (the durable win):
- evals/gsm8k_math/holdout_dev/v1: 500 real GSM8K cases CORE was NOT
  built against. The 50-case train_sample is overfit and hid a sealed
  wrong=0 breach for weeks. This lane is the un-gameable dev signal.
- test_holdout_dev_lane.py: wrong==0 floor (forever) + baseline snapshot.

THE READER (a safe pattern, not yet a sealed lift):
- generate/derivation/ratio_chain.py: structurally-forced, verifiable
  chained-ratio reader. Refuse-preferring.
- Measured: held-out 500 -> 1 correct / 0 wrong; SEALED 1,319 ->
  0 correct / 0 WRONG. It holds the prime directive (zero confab) but
  its held-out hit did not reproduce on the sealed set, so it is a
  proof-of-concept of the verifiable-reader pattern, not a real
  capability gain. Documented as such; not oversold.

EVIDENCE:
- docs/analysis/real-gsm8k-capability-measurement-2026-06-04.md: the
  honest finding (real capability 0%, composer 17% wrong on held-out,
  no separating gate) + why verifiable readers are the path.
- Regression: 851 passed, 0 failed. train_sample wrong=0.

wrong=0 confirmed on the sealed 1,319 before this touched serving.

"""Held-out dev lane — the honest iteration metric (ADR-pending).
This lane is the instrument the 2026-06-04 sealed-breach post-mortem proved we never
had: 500 real GSM8K cases CORE was NOT built against. Two obligations:
* **Floor (forever):** `wrong == 0` — the engine refuses, never confabulates, on data it
was not tuned to. This is the property the train_sample could not protect (it hid a
5-wrong sealed breach).
* **Snapshot (the one a real lift updates):** correct=0 / refused=500 today. Refusing
everything is the *failing* baseline, not a pass; a genuine capability gain moves
`correct` up here AND holds wrong=0 on the sealed test.
