feat(reader): add overlaps_event finite-verb reader surface (B3) (#783)
Add a closed finite-verb relational surface to comprehend_relational, narrowly:
declarative <A> overlaps <B>, interrogative Does <A> overlap <B>?, predicate
overlaps_event ONLY (closed finite-verb table, default-off).

Kept SEPARATE from the copula-connective grammar (byte-unchanged): the other
connectives (before/after/during/inside/adjacent/…) still REQUIRE the copula, so
"Monday before Friday." stays a refusal — no connective bypass (adversarial hazard #2).

Fail-closed slot gate: each finite-verb argument slot must be EXACTLY ONE content
token (after article stripping). An enumerated adverb/negation blocklist is unbounded
and leaks — the adversarial audit found "Meeting never overlaps lunch." committed as a
POSITIVE overlaps_event(meeting_never, lunch), plus almost/sometimes/trailing-qualifier/
second-verb compound fabrications in BOTH slots and the query path. The single-token
gate closes the whole COMPOUND-fabrication class (any extra token refuses); the
_FINITE_VERB_MODIFIERS and _CONNECTIVE_TOKENS checks add precise reasons for common
bare-modifier / second-verb slots. Multi-word entities in the finite-verb surface are
deferred (they need a positive content lexicon, which OOV entities preclude). A lone
bare token remains an entity (the reader's universal OOV single-token contract — the
copula and general readers behave identically), not a compound fabrication.

Hazards pinned (adversarial audit hazard #1 + #2): adverb absorption, negation-as-
positive ('never'), interrogative double-verb, trailing qualifier, and the copula-bypass
firewall.

Measurement: migrated ref-009 "Sunrise overlaps dawn." (the documented coverage gap) to
a positive rel-018 — comprehension_relational_predicate 17->18, wrong_total 0, breadth
still 11 (coverage added, not a new domain), baseline digest re-frozen. Refusal floor
rose 9 -> 24 (finite-verb confusers replace the one migrated input). The #775 inference
and #781 transitive lane SHA pins are UNTOUCHED. determine.py is untouched (reader-only):
no answer=False, no FrameVerdict, INV-30 unaffected.

Verified in the worktree: finite-verb + reader + reader-lane + #775 inference lane +
#781 transitive lane + #779 OWA floor + capability baseline/index + INV-30/29/21 + full
smoke — all green. Two read-only adversarial passes: the first found 4 real slot-
fabrication blockers, closed by the single-token gate; a black-box probe of 24
adversarial inputs confirms the compound-fabrication class is fully closed.

"""Relational comprehension — the first consumer of ``en_core_relational_predicates_v1``.
The COMPREHEND organ today mints type-membership and categorical/ordering/propositional
structure (see ``reader.py``). This sibling reader adds the next increment: BINARY
RELATIONS named by the relational-predicates pack's closed vocabulary
(``parent_of``, ``less_than``, ``left_of``, ``before_event`` …). It produces a
STANDARD ``Comprehension`` whose ``Relation.predicate`` IS a pack lemma, so the rest
of the spine consumes it unchanged: ``realize_comprehension`` is predicate-general
(it stores any single non-negated relation), and ``determine`` admits the closed
relational set for DIRECT entailment.
Fail-closed (wrong=0 at the comprehension layer):
- a clause is read ONLY by one of two CLOSED surfaces: the copula-connective grammar
``<A> is [the] <connective> <B>`` (the copula sitting STRUCTURALLY adjacent to the
connective), OR the closed finite-verb surface ``<A> overlaps <B>`` /
``Does <A> overlap <B>?`` (no copula; ``overlaps_event`` ONLY — see
``_read_finite_verb_clause``). In BOTH the lemma must be present in the LOADED pack
(``pack_lemmas``) AND neither argument slot may carry leftover relational/reserved
vocabulary or an adverb modifier. A non-matching surface, a dangling copula, a
connective WITHOUT its copula ("Monday before Friday."), a negated form, an
adverb-modified overlap ("A nearly overlaps B"), an argument slot holding a connective
token (a trailing qualifier like "… of Dan during school" — unparsed structure, NOT an
entity), or a lemma absent from the pack all REFUSE — never guess, never field-vote.
Deterministic.
- only the PREDICATE is closed-vocabulary; the two arguments may be OOV (arbitrary
identifiers), grounded downstream by the OOV substrate. A clean multi-word entity
("north station") canonicalizes per the join contract; an argument that still holds
relational structure refuses rather than fabricate a compound entity.
Scope — this reader grounds stated binary relations in the STATED DIRECTION only; it
performs no inference itself. DETERMINE then applies declared relational algebra over the
realized facts — ONE-HOP inverse/converse pairs and pack-declared symmetric predicates
(``INVERSE_OF`` / ``SYMMETRIC_PREDICATES``), AND SOUND TRANSITIVE CLOSURE over the
declared strict-order predicates (``TRANSITIVE_PREDICATES`` — ``less_than`` /
``greater_than`` / ``before_event`` / ``after_event``) — so a symmetric lemma's converse,
an inverse pair, and a same-predicate strict-order chain NOW determine soundly. Negation
(out of grammar — a negated surface refuses) and closed-world falsehood remain out of
scope.
This reader is invoked EXPLICITLY (the pack is loaded by the caller, not default-mounted);
it does not perturb ``comprehend``'s templates or their wrong=0 tests.
