impl(sprint-11/wave-A): resolve codex P1 — v2 forward/set_temporal/pack semantic-routing bugs

Codex review on PR #383 surfaced three semantic-routing bugs all
sharing the root cause of "v1 API path bypasses v2 mantissa /
reclaim-zone semantics". Same anti-pattern as the W3 spec codex P1
from PR #381. All three fixed + paired with regression tests.

P1 #1 — forward() decoded weight.inference_type() (3-bit unsigned)
even under v2, so a v2 edge built with `with_inference_mantissa(-1)`
(Abduction direction) would read bits 46-48 as 0b111 = Reserved7 and
dispatch through the synthesis/default branch instead of Abduction.
Negative mantissas (Abduction, Counterfactual) silently produced
wrong NARS truth propagation.

Fix: under `causal-edge-v2-layout`, decode via
`InferenceType::from_mantissa(weight.inference_mantissa())` for the
match arm. Result re-stamped via `with_inference_mantissa(
resolved_infer.to_mantissa())` so the sign bit (49) survives pack()'s
v2 mantissa write (pack() needs the v1 enum value but to_mantissa()
maps it through correctly — see P2 fix below).

P1 #2 — set_temporal() unconditionally wrote bits 52-63 even under
v2 where those bits are plasticity[2] + W-slot + lens + spare. The
v1 learn() path calls set_temporal(current_time) after every
observation; that call clobbered W-slot routing state and corrupted
the reclaim zone for any edge that had been stamped via with_w_slot/
with_truth/etc. Same root cause as the pack() temporal-write bug
fixed in commit ab39d01 — just a different setter path that wasn't
gated.

Fix: feature-gate set_temporal() the same way as pack(): under v2,
the call is a complete no-op (the `t: u16` arg is silently dropped
with documented migration pointer to chain-position + AriGraph
Triplet.timestamp). learn() transitively becomes safe under v2 since
the only reclaim-zone write was the set_temporal call.

P2 — pack() under v2 wrote the raw `inference as u8` discriminant
into bits 46-48 (3-bit mask). With the v1 enum:
- Deduction=0, Induction=1, Abduction=2, Revision=3, Synthesis=4
- pack(Abduction) → bits 46-48 = 0b010, bit 49 = 0
- inference_mantissa() reads 4 bits as i4 → +2
- from_mantissa(+2) decodes as Induction, NOT Abduction

Silent semantic drift on every v2 pack() call for any non-Deduction
inference type.

Fix: under v2, pack() writes `inference.to_mantissa() as i4` (4 bits
including sign) so the round-trip pack→inference_mantissa→
from_mantissa preserves the semantic. The v1 branch keeps the
original 3-bit discriminant write for back-compat. forward()'s
final re-stamp (P1 #1 fix) covers the case where the resolved
InferenceType needs to be re-encoded after composition.

Three regression tests added to `v2_layout_tests.rs`:
- `test_forward_decodes_negative_mantissa_under_v2` — Abduction via
  mantissa=-1 must NOT alias Reserved7
- `test_set_temporal_no_op_under_v2` — set_temporal(1023) on an edge
  with w=42/truth=Fuzzy/spare=0b101 must leave the raw u64 unchanged
- `test_pack_uses_mantissa_mapping_under_v2` — pack(Abduction),
  pack(Counterfactual), pack(Intervention) all round-trip through
  inference_mantissa → from_mantissa with semantic identity preserved

Test status post-fix:
- v2 (default): 33 pass / 1 pre-existing fail (test_build_fast)
- v1 (no features): 16 pass / 1 pre-existing fail
- The 3 new regression tests prevent silent re-introduction
