fix(ci): diff-cover ratchet + canary artifact coupling — shim battery, crate build in CI

diff-cover 70% floor (run 18164's unit-tests failure):
- The floor counts CHANGED lines covered by pytest only. The strangler's
  verification moved the six ported shims to canaries/parities (outside
  pytest), so 46% of slice-2's changed lines were pytest-covered and the
  gate red-lined the port itself.
- tests/test_evidence_provenance_shims.py: a six-test shim battery driving
  the delegation surfaces the port changed (verification_layer dispatch +
  seven wrappers, evidence_probe schema/budget, behaviour_ledger state
  machine incl. accept_limitation + reload round-trip, behavior decision
  math on an isolated db, claim_audit scan->verify->degrade->journal->
  report pipeline, audit_ledger append->verify->read on the isolated
  ledger). Isolation law documented in the module docstring: RUNE_HOME/
  RUNE_MEMORY_DIR pinned before import (both resolve paths at import);
  behavior/claim_audit are imported by no other test file.
- save() finding: mutators never auto-persist in EITHER vintage (verified
  against the pre-port module) — the round-trip test calls save().
- .coveragerc omits ffi_query_memory_smoke.py (= the canary precedent:
  standalone evidence script, never suite-imported).
- Result replicated locally against gitea/master: 116 diff lines, 87%
  (floor 70), exit 0.

Canary job now builds the crate (run 18164's canary failure):
- Until 18164 the job silently relied on the host executor seeing the
  desktop's prebuilt target/ — my checkout-relative BIN made that visible
  as an uncaught Popen FileNotFoundError (§5 crash before finishing).
- ci.yml gains cargo build --release for the zero-dep crate (system cargo,
  world-readable on the runner; no registry fetch).
- §5 fails loud-but-counted (FAIL test, not a crash) when the artifact is
  missing, with the regression meaning spelled out.

Local wall: pytest 2257/0; canaries 74+66 both modes; lint 345/75 PASS;
type ratchet PASS under the pinned instrument; henxels exit 0; umbrella
gate exit 0; dep-lock in sync.
