fix(conformance): make the pack generator runnable from a clean checkout

[gHashTag]

conformance/vectors/gen_all_formats.py — the script that produces all 83 conformance packs — reads its catalog from a hardcoded path:

CATALOG_LINES = "/tmp/catalog_lines.txt"

That file is not in the repository. On a clean checkout the generator raises FileNotFoundError in parse_catalog() before producing anything, so the corpus can be read but not regenerated. For an artifact whose stated contribution is reproducible bit-exact conformance vectors, the generator not running from a fresh clone is the weakest link in the chain.

The catalog itself was never missing. specs/numeric/formats_catalog.t27 carries all 83 rows as trailing // CATALOG: id=... name=... bits=... comments — the same lines catalog-count-gate.yml counts to enforce the 83-format invariant, in exactly the format parse_catalog expects. The /tmp file was a second, unversioned copy of data the repository already holds.

Two further problems surfaced while fixing this.

Re-running the generator silently reverted the 2026-07-05 promotions. The SELFCONSISTENT branch hardcoded "kind": "bitexact_selfconsistent" with the comment "NOT promoted to bitexact (no independent second witness)". That was true when written, but the six wide rungs acquired independent second witnesses and were promoted in the pack files. A regeneration would have rewritten the index back to 69/6/8, undoing an honesty-rule-#10 promotion that the packs themselves record. The tier now derives from the pack, which is the artefact of record for its own status.

The index exposed no witness information. Fields were file, id, kind, n_vectors, sha256, source — so a consumer of INDEX_all_formats.json, the corpus's machine-readable summary, could not tell which packs carry a witness record without opening all 83 files. The data was already in the packs.

Verification

conformance/vectors/verify_regeneration.py (new) checks the corpus against the digests recorded at HEAD:

packs compared: 83
  digests unchanged : 83
  digests changed   : 0
  tier changed      : 0
OK: regeneration reproduces the committed corpus.

Index changes are strictly additive — 0 entry fields changed, 0 removed; added witnesses and n_vectors per entry plus a top-level witnessed_packs: 10. Both existing gates pass: wp18_selftest_gate.py all PASS, wp18_conformance_gate.py verdict CLEAN, failures [].

Closes #1575
