feat(epistemic): Phase 3 state tagging spine (#220)
* feat(epistemic): add first-class state enums

* feat(epistemic): tag TurnEvent with state axes

* feat(epistemic): serialize turn state axes

* feat(packs): tag curated and inferred unit entries

* feat(epistemic): expose word-level state on manifold

* feat(epistemic): expose vault status mapping

* feat(epistemic): preserve pack entry states through compiler

* test(epistemic): cover phase 3 state tagging spine

* feat(runtime): wire epistemic_state + normative_clearance into ChatResponse

Add first-class epistemic_state and normative_clearance fields to
ChatResponse (defaulting to "undetermined"/"unassessable" for backward
compat). Import epistemic_state_for_grounding_source and
clearance_from_verdicts into chat/runtime.py and populate both fields on
the stub path (TurnEvent + ChatResponse) and the main path (TurnEvent +
ChatResponse). Fix the test fixture to use "euro per hour" (a genuinely
composed unit) instead of "dollars per hour" which is a curated lexicon
entry and returns DECODED, not INFERRED.

* test(cognition): update term_capture_rate baseline from 0.9167 to 1.0

unknown_logos_019 now correctly surfaces "light" as a pack-resident
token near the logos versor — producing term_capture_rate 1.0 on both
main and Phase 3. The 0.9167 pin was stale relative to a surface change
already on main; Phase 3 did not introduce this shift.

"""Anti-regression demo — three scenes showing how CORE refuses to learn
something that would make it worse.
The thesis: when a system extends its own knowledge, **the gate that
decides what to admit is the load-bearing part** — not the proposer.
CORE's reviewed-corpus extension path (ADR-0057) has three independent
gates that must each pass before any byte is written:
S1. Eligibility predicate (mechanical, pre-replay).
Five mechanical checks on the candidate's shape (polarity,
evidence-floor, claim-domain, boundary-clean, chain-complete).
Ineligible candidates raise ``ProposalError`` and never enter
the proposal log.
S2. Replay-equivalence gate (mechanical, post-eligibility).
The full cognition lane runs against the active corpus AND
against a transient copy with the proposed chain appended.
Any strict-decrease in a watched metric auto-rejects the
proposal with the metrics named in the operator note.
Active corpus file bytes are byte-identical pre/post.
S3. Operator review (manual, post-replay).
Even a replay-equivalent proposal only reaches the *pending*
state — explicit ``core teaching review <id> --accept`` is
required to write to the active corpus.
This demo runs each scene end-to-end against the real ``ProposalLog``
in an isolated temp directory. No active corpus or production log is
touched.
Scenes 1 and 3 use the **real** ``teaching.replay.run_replay_equivalence``
function. Scene 2 injects a controlled replay function (via the
documented ``run_replay=`` kwarg of ``propose_from_candidate``) that
returns a regressed ``ReplayEvidence`` of the same shape the real gate
produces — demonstrating the auto-rejection lifecycle on a synthetic
regression deterministically. In production the real gate produces
this same shape when a real regression is detected.
