R-doom1g: provable test protocol — engine determinism hooks + harvest tool + oracle

Adds the byte-equal-reproducible foundation the cloud-boot DOOM bare-metal
demo needs to move from empirical to provable verification. The user
explicitly rejected empirical-only checks ("je ne veux pas de la preuve
empirique"); this delivers:

- seed.go (NEW, sibling of doom.go, transpiled engine source untouched):
  SeedRandom(seed) + SetDeterministicTics(bool) + ResetClock() +
  CurrentTic() + RandomState(). These flip + read the engine's
  already-existing dg_run_full_speed / prndindex / rndindex / dg_fake_tics
  state from package-private to exported, so host-side tooling can pin
  the engine to a fully reproducible starting condition.
- backend/tamago/frontend.go: SetSeed(uint64) + ApplyDeterminism() +
  FrameCount() methods. ApplyDeterminism is the single entry point the
  embedding probe calls just before gore.Run.
- cmd/harvest-reference/: HEADLESS gore.Run driver that snapshots PPM +
  PRNG state at scripted tic checkpoints, writes oracle/manifest.json
  with SHA-256 hashes. Reproducibility validated: two back-to-back runs
  produce byte-identical PPMs.
- oracle/: 6 reference frames (tic 1/35/70/140/350/1050) + manifest,
  committed for CI diff. ~1.1 MiB. WAD itself remains .gitignore'd.
- 100% test coverage on seed.go + new frontend methods, 85% on
  harvest-reference (uncovered: main() + gore.Run-blocking paths).

+## How to verify the cloud-boot DOOM demo is operational (R-doom1g)
+
+The provable test protocol lives in
+[`cloud-boot/docs/docs/architecture/doom-provable-protocol.md`](https://github.com/cloud-boot/docs/blob/main/docs/architecture/doom-provable-protocol.md).
+Short version:
+
+```bash
+# Re-harvest the host oracle (byte-equal reproducible — proves
+# engine + WAD + determinism hooks are intact):
+cd cloud-boot/godoom
+GOWORK=off go run ./cmd/harvest-reference \
+    -wad embedwad/doom1.wad \
+    -seed 0 \
+    -checkpoints 1,35,70,140,350,1050 \
+    -out /tmp/fresh-oracle
+
+# Compare against the committed oracle — every SHA must match.
+diff <(cd oracle && sha256sum frame_tic*.ppm) \
+     <(cd /tmp/fresh-oracle && sha256sum frame_tic*.ppm)
+```
+
+For the full guest-stack gate (boots the EFI probe in QEMU+EDK2 and
+compares virtio-gpu output against the guest oracle):
+
+```bash
+cd cloud-boot/tamago-uefi
+task doomboot:efi:amd64
+bash internal/livedoomboot/provable_test.sh amd64
+```
+
+The `oracle/` directory is committed (~1.1 MiB of PPMs + manifest).
+The WAD itself is `.gitignore`d (see `embedwad/.gitignore`). The
+determinism hooks live in `seed.go` (sibling of `doom.go`, never
+modifying the transpiled engine source).
