test: adversarial hardening — quorum slot + cross-platform install (iteration 1-2)

Iteration 1: nf-stop edge cases (--n=value syntax, --n 0 boundary)
Iteration 2: quorum cache, slot dispatch, provider mapping, circuit breaker invariants

Hardening converged in 2 iterations (2 consecutive zero-change).
No gaps found — implementations are robust.
