feat(h11): dual MemoryBar — verify estimate + actual Metal peak
Closes V5-G06 honesty gap: previously the MemoryBar only rendered the verify-time worst_rank_bytes estimate; nobody had wired the actual Metal peak from extras.memory_peak_bytes through the UI, so the "observed math vs real allocator" parity question was unanswered. Now: - SpecState gains an optional `actual_peak_bytes` field with a new `memory.actual_set` reducer action. - After a successful Train, App.handleRunPipeline dispatches memory.actual_set with extras.memory_peak_bytes. - MemoryBar renders `memory-bar-estimate` (always) and `memory-bar-actual` (post-Train) side-by-side. Both expose precise byte counts via `data-bytes` so tests don't lose precision when the formatted GB/MB string rounds a few-MB actual to "0.00 GB". - formatGB falls back to MB for sub-GB values. Tests: - vbgui vitest TopBar+MemoryBar: H11 specs for estimate-always-present and actual-appears-once-set — 24/24 TopBar tests passing. - vbgui vitest full suite: 205/205 passing. - vbgui e2e 65_memory_parity.spec.ts: Train → both readouts present, both > 0, ratio < 500x. The 500x bound is generous and honestly reflects the H=128 GUI synthetic vs h100_8x estimator-overhead gap; tightening it is a separate estimator-overhaul task tracked under V5-G06. - vbgui e2e V6 suite (55–65): 12/12 passing — no regression. - pytest tests/v4/test_memory_parity.py: same-order parity gate (ratio < 100x; baseline ~7x at H=128) on matched dim_env — 2/2 passing. Documents the current honest gap.
