feat(chapel): L2 parallel proof search — rehabilitation (closes #133) (#146)

## Summary

Brings the Chapel metalayer from *scaffold-only, never compiled* to a
load-bearing CI signal.

- **Chapel sources compile** clean under `chpl 2.3.0` (CI) and `chpl
2.8.0` (local). Static lib only — see ADR for the CHPL_LIB_PIC=none
constraint on the apt-shipped Chapel.
- **L2.2 lands**: `parallelProofSearchSpeculative` (first-success-wins
atomic CAS) ships next to the existing best-of `parallelProofSearch`.
L2.3+ remain gated.
- **CI flipped strict**: `chapel-build` and `zig-ffi` drop
`continue-on-error`. `rust-chapel-real` stays allow-fail (Wave-2 work).
- **Aggregation invariants proved** in Agda with zero
`postulate`/`admit`/`believe_me`.

Closes #133.

## Sub-waves this PR closes

| L2.1 | **done (pre-PR)** | Rust↔Zig↔Chapel triple wired |
| L2.2 | **done (this PR)** | `parallelProofSearchSpeculative` w/ atomic
CAS |
| L2.3 | gated | Cancel-token through `tryProver` for mid-flight
preemption |

$ just chapel-build
Compiling Chapel metalayer (static)...

parallel_proof_search.chpl:446: warning: 'main()' has no special meaning when compiling in --library mode

$ just chapel-smoke
cd src/chapel && chpl -o chapel_smoke smoke.chpl && ./chapel_smoke
Hello, Chapel — ECHIDNA metalayer smoke OK
  parallel-CAS winner: 3 (expected 3)
  reduction sum 1..100: 5050 (expected 5050)
  elapsed: 1.1e-05 s
```

The only warning is the harmless `'main()' has no special meaning when
compiling in --library mode` — `main` is retained as the
standalone-binary entry point used by the (separate, non-`--library`)
smoke / dev workflow.

## Cargo + Agda

```

```

## Agda theorems

```agda
-- Soundness: portfolio verdict true → at least one prover succeeded.
speculative-sound : {n : ℕ} (xs : Vec Bool n)
                  → IsTrue (speculative xs)
                  → Any IsTrue xs

-- Completeness: any prover succeeded → portfolio verdict true.
speculative-complete : {n : ℕ} (xs : Vec Bool n)
                     → Any IsTrue xs
                     → IsTrue (speculative xs)

-- Cancellation-safety: a successful head wins regardless of tail.
cancellation-safety : {n : ℕ} (bs : Vec Bool n)
                    → IsTrue (speculative (true ∷ bs))
```

All three discharged by structural recursion + the `Vec`-`Any` library.
Zero `postulate`/`admit`/`believe_me`; `agda --safe` passes.

## ADR


[`docs/decisions/2026-05-30-chapel-rehabilitation.md`](docs/decisions/2026-05-30-chapel-rehabilitation.md)
— rewrite-not-park decision, why static-only on apt Chapel, rollout
phasing (Wave 1 echidna → Wave 2 proven → Wave 3 docudactyl), and Wave-2
follow-ups.

## Eval / MRR

Deferred: `models/neural/` does not exist (CLAUDE.md §Train
GNN/Transformer on larger corpus) so there is no model to benchmark
against. The aggregation layer is the load-bearing piece in this PR;
per-prover-vs-portfolio MRR moves once a model lands.

## Breadcrumbs in proven + docudactyl

To be filed after this PR lands — they reference the merged PR by URL.

## Test plan

- [ ] CI `chapel-build` green (was `continue-on-error`, now strict)
- [ ] CI `zig-ffi` green (was `continue-on-error`, now strict)
- [ ] CI `rust-chapel-feature` green (was already strict)
- [ ] CI `rust-chapel-real` allow-fail (no regression vs main)
- [ ] No regression in non-chapel test paths
