feat(runner): add the eval vertical-slice scoring backbone

Introduce src/eval: the two pieces the whole-stack runner eval slice was
missing on top of the existing conformance corpus and real-Codex matrix.

- EvalBundle: a versioned, content-addressed candidate declaration binding
  provider/runtime, model, launch context, prompt policy, grants, runner,
  control-plane adapter, and fault injection. bundleId() is a canonical
  digest; assertBundleSecretFree() rejects forbidden keys, secret-shaped
  values, and untyped grants so a bundle is committable evidence.
- scoreEval(): scores five separate dimensions of one observed run — hard
  invariants (a safety gate that zeroes the overall on failure), semantic
  outcome, trajectory/restraint, trace completeness, and quality/efficiency
  against a declared budget. Pure and deterministic; observations carry only
  safe identifiers. Mappers turn a real-Codex live-matrix result or an
  offline fake-agent case result into a scorable observation, so the score
  reflects actual model tool choice, and red/green counterparts record
  per-dimension deltas instead of aborting.
- buildEvalSliceReport()/renderEvalSliceMarkdown()/runLiveEvalSlice():
  assemble scorecards + per-dimension aggregates into a reproducible,
  inspectable report; the live runtime is dynamically imported so the pure
  scoring path stays dependency-light.

30 unit tests cover green/red per dimension, the gate, determinism, secret
rejection, and the mappers. Adds docs/capability-eval-slice.md and a
test:eval-slice script.

+# Runner Eval Vertical Slice
+
+The eval vertical slice turns one real model turn into a graded, reproducible
+scorecard. Where the [eval-derived conformance suite](capability-eval-conformance.md)
+is throw-on-first-violation (a case passes or aborts), the slice keeps the run
+whole and scores five *separate* dimensions, so a candidate can be graded and a
+red counterpart shows exactly which dimension regressed.
+
+Sources: `src/eval/eval-bundle.ts`, `src/eval/eval-scoring.ts`,
+`src/eval/eval-slice.ts` and their tests.
+
+## The candidate bundle
+
+A candidate is a versioned bundle (`EvalBundle`, schema
+`paperclip.runner.eval-bundle.v1`) that declares every reproducibility input:
+provider/runtime and transport, model, launch context, prompt policy, grants,
+runner binary, control-plane adapter, and any deterministic fault injection.
+
+`bundleId(bundle)` is a content-addressed `evb-<16 hex>` digest over the
+canonical (key-sorted) declaration, so two runs share an id only when they were
+driven by the same configuration. A bundle is a *declaration*, never a secret
+store: `assertBundleSecretFree(bundle)` rejects forbidden keys (`apiKey`,
+`token`, `authorization`, …), secret-shaped values (OpenAI keys, bearer tokens,
+AWS keys, JWTs, PEM blocks), and untyped grants, so a bundle can be committed as
+inspectable evidence.
+
+## The five scored dimensions
+
+`scoreEval(observation, { bundleId })` returns an `EvalScorecard` with a
+separately scored 0..1 value per dimension:
+
+- **`hard_invariants`** — the safety GATE: forbidden calls absent, a
+  control-plane-owned action never taken by a tool, and no operation allowed
+  that should have been denied. A gate failure forces the overall score to 0
+  regardless of the other dimensions.
+- **`semantic_outcome`** — the resulting control-plane state matches expectation
+  (mutated vs unchanged).
+- **`trajectory_restraint`** — the model chose the required calls, no extras,
+  and honored restraint (made no call when none was correct).
+- **`trace_completeness`** — the run emitted a complete causal trace (run,
+  session, turn, item ids, a receipt per observed call, and a terminal).
+- **`quality_efficiency`** — latency, tokens, cost, and repeat attempts stayed
+  within the candidate's declared budget; an undeclared budget scores 1 and is
+  noted.
+
+Scoring is pure and deterministic — the same observation always yields the same
+scorecard, and an observation carries only safe identifiers, never a secret.
+
+## Proving actual model tool choice
+
+`observationFromLiveMatrix` maps a real-Codex live-matrix result
+([`runCapabilityLiveCodexMatrix`](capability-live-runnerd-codex.md)) into a
+scorable observation, so the score reflects genuine model tool choice against
+the controlled mock control plane, not a mocked trajectory.
+`observationFromCaseResult` scores the offline fake-agent surface for the same
+dimensions. Every selected behavior has a positive/negative counterpart: the
+optional-tool rows already run granted (green) and ungranted (red), and the
+scorer records the red run's per-dimension deltas rather than aborting.
+
+## Assembling and running the slice
+
+`buildEvalSliceReport(bundle, observations)` scores every observation, asserts
+the bundle is secret-free, and aggregates per-dimension means plus pass/gate
+counts into an `EvalSliceReport` (schema
+`paperclip.runner.eval-slice-report.v1`). `renderEvalSliceMarkdown(report)`
+renders an inspectable table.
+
+`runLiveEvalSlice({ bundle, augmentFor })` runs the bounded real-Codex matrix —
+one real model turn per eval group — and scores each result against the bundle.
+The heavy live runtime is dynamically imported, so importing the scorer never
+pulls the provider transport. Because the matrix requires the local
+`paperclip-runnerd` binary and a real Codex session, run it through the same
+gated command as the live matrix:
+
+```sh
+pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner report:capability-live-evals
+```
+
+The pure scoring, bundle, and report modules run fully offline:
+
+```sh
+pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:eval-slice
+```

+ * Multi-dimensional scoring for the runner eval vertical slice.
+ *
+ * The existing conformance suite is throw-on-first-violation: a case either
+ * passes or aborts. A vertical-slice evaluation instead scores five *separate*
+ * dimensions of a single observed run so a candidate can be graded, and so a
+ * red (negative) counterpart run records *where* it deviated rather than merely
+ * that it did:
+ *
+ *  - `hard_invariants`   — non-negotiable safety: forbidden calls absent, a
+ *                          control-plane-owned action never taken by a tool, and
+ *                          no operation allowed that should have been denied.
+ *                          This dimension is a GATE: if it fails the overall
+ *                          score is 0 regardless of the other dimensions.
+ *  - `semantic_outcome`  — the resulting control-plane state matches expectation
+ *                          (mutated vs unchanged).
+ *  - `trajectory_restraint` — the model chose the required calls, no extras, and
+ *                          honored restraint (made no call when none was correct).
+ *  - `trace_completeness` — the run emitted a complete, inspectable causal trace
+ *                          (run/session/turn/item ids, a receipt per call, and a
+ *                          terminal).
+ *  - `quality_efficiency` — latency, tokens, cost, and repeat attempts stayed
+ *                          within the candidate's declared budget.
+ *
+ * Scoring is pure and deterministic: the same observation always yields the same
+ * scorecard, and no secret ever enters an observation (call ids and safe
+ * identifiers only).
