D2.3 /v1/shader/token-agreement handler wiring (Phase 2 surface complete)

Final Phase 2 surface deliverable — routes WireTokenAgreement requests
through the D2.1 TokenAgreementHarness stub. End-to-end flow:

  WireTokenAgreement (JSON at ingress)
      ↓ serde_json deserialize (Rule F: edge only)
  Handler validates candidate: WireCodecParams → CodecParams
      ↓ precision-ladder + overfit guard fire here (ingress) NOT deeper
  ReferenceModel::load(&req.model_path) when path exists
      OR ReferenceModel::stub(hash(model_path), 0) fallback
      ↓ deterministic stub keyed on model_path string for regression tests
  TokenAgreementHarness::new(ref, baseline, candidate, n_tokens)
      ↓
  .measure_stub() → WireTokenAgreementResult { stub:true, backend:"stub" }
      ↓ serde_json serialize (Rule F: edge only)
  HTTP 200 Json response

crates/cognitive-shader-driver/src/serve.rs — ~70 LOC:
  - token_agreement_handler async fn
  - new imports: ReferenceModel, TokenAgreementHarness,
    WireTokenAgreement, WireTokenAgreementResult, CodecParams,
    StdPath (aliased to avoid collision with axum::extract::Path)
  - new route: POST /v1/shader/token-agreement

Errors typed at handler boundary:
  - BAD_REQUEST + "invalid CodecParams: <CodecParamsError display>"
    for precision-ladder / overfit guard failures
  - BAD_REQUEST + "model load: ModelPathMissing { path }" when
    real path is specified but does not exist
  - BAD_REQUEST + stringified TokenAgreementError for harness errors
    (EmptyPromptSet when n_tokens = 0)

Stub-fallback behavior (when model_path does not exist on fs):
  Deterministic hash of the path string keys the ReferenceModel stub.
  Same model_path → same stub fingerprint → test harnesses get
  repeatable results without needing a real safetensors file. D2.2
  replaces with strict path validation once the real loader lands.

Why the `stub:true` wall matters end-to-end:
  Client sends WireTokenAgreement over HTTP → handler returns 200 OK
  with WireTokenAgreementResult. Without the `stub` flag, a client
  pipeline could silently treat 0.0 rates as real measurements. With
  the flag, any `assert!(!result.stub)` fails the pipeline loudly —
  the Phase 0/D2.1 anti-#219 discipline extends through the HTTP
  surface.

Phase state:
  Phase 0 ✅ complete
  Phase 1 scaffold ✅ (D1.1 / D1.2 / D1.3 shipped; D1.1b queued)
  Phase 2 scaffold ✅ — D2.1 harness + D2.3 handler (this PR)
                   ⏳ D2.2 real decode-and-compare loop queued

Tests: 117/117 cognitive-shader-driver --features serve pass
       (unchanged; handler's logic is a thin pass-through and the
       harness it delegates to is already covered by 13 D2.1 tests).

Board hygiene:
  STATUS_BOARD.md D2.3 Queued → In PR

Rules honored:
  Rule F — serde_json::from at ingress (Json<WireTokenAgreement>),
           serde_json::to at egress (Json<WireTokenAgreementResult>);
           in between: CodecParams + ReferenceModel + Harness are all
           in-memory Rust objects, zero re-serialisation
