Shay a71b321a9a feat(adr-0055-0057): learning-loop demo — cold turn to grounded surface, end-to-end
`core demo learning-loop` (+ `--json`) walks a single prompt through the
full ADR-0055..0057 inter-session-memory architecture:

  S1. Cold turn          → universal disclosure, grounding_source=none
  S2. Discovery emission → DiscoveryCandidate to attached sink
  S3. Operator proposal  → real replay-equivalence gate, no regression
  S4. Operator accept    → TRANSIENT corpus only; active untouched
  S5. Same prompt        → teaching-grounded surface with the new chain

Before / after on the deterministic prompt "Why does thought exist?":

  before: [none]     I don't know — insufficient grounding for that yet.
  after:  [teaching] thought — teaching-grounded (cognition_chains_v1):
          cognition.thought; logos.internal. thought reveals meaning
          (cognition.meaning). No session evidence yet.

The active corpus on disk is byte-identical pre/post.  The demo writes
only to a transient corpus, then swaps `_CORPUS_PATH` for the after
turn — the same pattern the replay-equivalence gate uses.

- evals/learning_loop/run_demo.py — `run_demo(emit_json=False)` returns
  a structured `DemoReport` with both surfaces and per-scene detail.
- core/cli.py — `core demo learning-loop` target wired.
- tests/test_learning_loop_demo.py — 7 tests pin: full loop closes,
  before is ungrounded, after contains new chain atoms (thought /
  reveal / meaning), discovery emits ≥1, replay gate reports no
  regression, S4 byte-identical active + 1 line on transient, same
  prompt drives both surfaces.

Lane state: learning-loop-demo 7 new — green.  Demo runs in ~15s
end-to-end (cognition lane runs twice via replay gate).

No LLM provider has a published equivalent of this loop: per-fact
provenance from operator accept to surface, replay-equivalence gate
proving non-regression, byte-identical active state regardless of
outcome, full audit trail back to the originating cold turn.
