feat(coprocessor): Phase 0 foundation — coprocessor abstraction + meta-control

Lays the foundation for the comprehensive backend expansion (Phases 1-7,
30 new prover backends + 10 coprocessor kinds + meta-control).  Phase 0
ships the architecture, not new prover backends.

Coprocessor abstraction (src/rust/coprocessor/):
- Coprocessor trait mirroring ProverBackend (kind/capabilities/health/
  trust_tier/dispatch).  Phase 0 ships only CoprocessorKind::Math because
  the no-stubs rule forbids enum variants without working impls; Phase 6
  extends it with Physics/Dsp/Fpga/Tensor/Vector/Crypto/Graphics/Audio/Io.
- Math backend: pure Rust via num-bigint / num-integer / num-traits.
  10 ops covering gcd/lcm/modexp/modinv/primality/factorisation/rational
  simplify/Fibonacci/factorial.  Deterministic Miller–Rabin (Sorenson–
  Webster bound for n < 3.3×10²⁴, 40-witness fallback above) + Pollard ρ
  with Brent's cycle detection.  10 unit tests covering Carmichael edge
  cases, non-invertible inputs, large primes, factorisation correctness.
- JuliaCoprocessorBridge: HTTP transport to a Julia-side router for
  backends that require LowLevel.jl / ProvenCrypto.jl / KnotTheory.jl etc.
  Non-throwing reachability probe; trust tier locked to JuliaBridged.
- CoprocessorTrustTier: 5-tier ladder (PureFormal / NativeKernel /
  LibraryWrapped / JuliaBridged / ExternalSubprocess), discriminants
  pinned across Rust + Idris2 + SPARK; is_self_sufficient() gates whether
  a result can stand alone in the prover-side trust pipeline.

MetaController (src/rust/agent/meta_controller.rs):
- Coordinates (prover × coprocessor × goal-aspect).  Plans a goal into
  prover + optional coprocessor preconditions; runs preconditions and
  threads results through the trust pipeline.  Static seed routing for
  arithmetic.{factorisation, primality, modular_inverse}; richer Pareto
  + Bayesian-timeout extension lands in Phase 7.

Idris2 ABI (src/abi/CoprocessorForeign.idr):
- CoprocessorTrustTier + CoprocessorKind + CoprocessorHealth with pinned
  u8 discriminants matching Rust + SPARK.  Constructive encodeDecodeId
  proof of round-trip correctness — zero believe_me.

SPARK invariants (src/ada/spark/coprocessor_safety.ads/.adb):
- Trust_Tier ordering + Encode/Decode round-trip + Is_Self_Sufficient
  iff tier ≥ Library_Wrapped.  GNATprove discharges all post-conditions
  automatically — no ghost lemmas required.

Julia router (src/julia/coprocessor.jl):
- HTTP server on 127.0.0.1:8090 exposing GET /coprocessor/health and
  POST /coprocessor/dispatch.  Native Julia Math fallback parallels the
  Rust impl bit-for-bit so cross-checking the two paths gives identical
  answers.  Phase 6 wires LowLevel.jl backends behind specific kinds.

Wiring:
- Cargo.toml: + num-bigint 0.4, num-integer 0.1, num-traits 0.2 (all
  permissive — Apache-2.0 / MIT, compatible with PMPL/MPL-2.0).
- src/rust/lib.rs: + pub mod coprocessor.
- src/rust/agent/mod.rs: + pub mod meta_controller.

Tests: 13 new tests, all green (10 coprocessor + 3 meta_controller).
Build: cargo check + cargo test --lib clean.  Pre-existing warnings
unchanged; no new ones.  panic-attack assail: 0 weak points on new code.

Roadmap: STATE.a2ml [expansion-roadmap] documents the 8-phase plan.
Phases 1-5 are independently claimable now — see [phase].target-claim-id
for the parallel-Claude task IDs.
