feat(W-008): L10 Shape B hybrid engine-state persistence (#271)
* ci: re-trigger full-pytest

* docs: ADR-0146 — L10 Shape B hybrid engine-state persistence

* feat(W-008): Shape B engine-state persistence spike (ADR-0146)

* fix(W-008): eval isolation + env-var path + empty-manifest guard

- evals/run_cognition_eval.py: all ChatRuntime() calls pass no_load_state=True
  so parallel eval workers never touch engine_state/ checkpoints
- engine_state/__init__.py: honour CORE_ENGINE_STATE_DIR env var (ADR-0146 spec)
- engine_state/__init__.py: load_manifest() skips empty file instead of crashing
  (defensive against partial writes in concurrent contexts)

"""ADR-0055 Phase B — DiscoveryCandidate emission from the turn loop.
A ``DiscoveryCandidate`` is **structured evidence** — never a
mutation. When a turn's audit trail satisfies a deterministic
predicate, an entry is emitted to the discovery candidate stream.
Candidates **never** load into the active teaching corpus; the only
path to corpus extension is the review-gated
``TeachingChainProposal`` (Phase C, not yet built).
Trigger set (Phase B lands the first; the others are stubbed in the
``Literal`` so the structure is stable when later phases add them):
- ``would_have_grounded`` — the turn fell through to the universal
"insufficient grounding" disclosure, the classified intent was
``CAUSE`` or ``VERIFICATION``, the subject lemma is in the
ratified cognition pack, and no active chain matched
``(subject, intent)``. A reviewed chain of that subject/intent
would have grounded the turn.
- ``successful_comparison`` — open question §5 in ADR-0055; not
fired in Phase B.
- ``hedge_acknowledged`` — open question §5 in ADR-0055; not
fired in Phase B.
- ``oov_resolved_via_decomp`` — not fired in Phase B.
Determinism contract:
- ``extract_discovery_candidates`` is a pure function of its
inputs.
- ``candidate_id`` is a SHA-256 hash of a canonical JSON encoding
of the candidate's load-bearing fields; identical inputs always
produce the identical id.
- No LLM, no stochastic sampling, no clock-time read.
Trust boundary:
- This module reads pack + corpus indices and a ``TurnEvent``.
It never writes to the corpus, the pack, or runtime state.
- The ``source_turn_trace`` is the upstream ``TurnEvent.trace_hash``
when present; absent that, the empty string. Tying every
candidate to a replayable turn is the load-bearing audit
property.
