Release v0.7.0 — Probe Gate

[TheLucidTech]

0.2 gated proof; 0.3 gated the seam; 0.4 metered the depth; 0.5 gave it a cockpit; 0.6 gated the fog. 0.7 gates the touch: a probe is a build whose proof-of-done is knowledge, not code. Probe code dies; probe findings live.

What ships

• Probe — build-for-learn as a first-class map closure. Known unknowns close by user | territory | probe | parked | OPEN + route. No new schema or command: a probe is an artifact (kind:"probe") whose disposal: pending hole drains confidence until the code is disposed or explicitly promoted. Both invariants are CLI-enforced: artifact add injects the hole on any probe that omits it, and a probe retraction must state its outcome (--reason starting disposed: or promoted:; promotion requires --superseded-by). Card at templates/probe-card.md; /ratchet:build gained build-for-learn mode; /ratchet:handoff reports probe outcomes.
• Undrained-fog fix. ratchet score aperture with mapRequired serializes a fog: pre-build map required open loop for writer callers on both output modes (the JSON result carries recordedFog, so programmatic consumers cannot bypass the write); propose-only agents get a footprint-free read. artifact add kind:"unknown-map" closes the loop when the map lands — prefix shared via schemas.FOG_LOOP_PREFIX so open and close can never drift. Scored fog now drains confidence, warns cold starts, and survives handoff even if the session never runs the map.
• Cold-start fog checks. A retracted probe is a completed build-for-learn (exempt from the dead-steering FAIL); a live probe is residue (warn); steering that says build while a fog: loop is open is a FAIL (\bbuild\b, so "rebuild trust" doesn't false-positive).
• Receipt fog card. STATE renders fog — unknown-maps with OPEN item counts, unmapped fog loops, probes live/disposed — with emptiness stated (Fog: none recorded).
• Map convergence rule + surprise tripwires. Every OPEN item leaving handover names its route out; /ratchet:attack serializes wrong-premise findings as fog and /ratchet:build re-scores the aperture after two deviations (prompt-level, distinguished from the CLI-enforced pieces above).
• Session confidence scope now reads recorded loop pressure, not correctness.

Review

Independent review verdict: PATCH-THEN-KEEP — all three boundary leaks patched before this cut (--json fog bypass, unenforced probe hole, self-asserted disposal). Reviewer item 4 (objective-fingerprint fog matching) is deliberately parked as a ratchet open loop for a future release, not silently absorbed.

Proof

npm test
  cli.test.js           60 passed   (+11 this release)
  evolve.test.js        19 passed
  plugin-shape.test.js  16 passed   (versions aligned across every surface)

New tests verified falsifiable: run against pre-change src, the suite fails at the first probe/fog assertion. Zero new runtime dependencies; no new schema; no new commands.
