test(profiler/behave_shell): five-class calibration grid lockdown

BEHAVE-EXTRACTOR.md Phase A Step 9 — the gate. Runs the pure
engine against each of the five 2026-05-02 calibration shards and
pins the contract that all subsequent Phase B-G PRs must keep
green: every Phase A primitive (motor.input_modality,
motor.paste_burst_rate, cognitive.inter_command_latency_class,
cognitive.command_branch_diversity, cognitive.feedback_loop_engagement,
cognitive.inter_command_consistency) fires at least once per shard.

* tests/profiler/behave_shell/test_calibration_grid.py
  parametrized over (shard_file, class_label) for HUMAN / YOU-sim /
  LW-sim / CLAUDE-FF / CLAUDE-CL. Skips entirely when
  BEHAVE_CALIBRATION_DIR is unset (CI provides the path; local dev
  doesn't have to).
* Plus a discrimination-smoke check: at least one primitive
  produces different majority values across present classes —
  catches the "constant-output regression" failure mode where the
  engine quietly degenerates to a stub.

Calibration tweak: BRANCH_DIVERSITY_LINEAR_MIN dropped from 0.80 to
0.70 to align with the prototype's empirical anchors (CLAUDE-CL ≈
0.55-0.60 adaptive; YOU-sim / CLAUDE-FF scripted recon ≈ 0.75+
linear). Test for the middle band re-pinned at the new boundary.

Per-class value pinning (e.g. HUMAN must emit
inter_command_consistency=bimodal) is intentionally NOT a hard gate
yet — v0.1 thresholds put real human sessions in "variable", and
true bimodal detection (Hartigan dip / two-peak) is registry-flagged
for v0.2. Tighter pinning lands as the corpus grows.

+"""Step 9: calibration grid lockdown — the Phase A gate.
+
+Runs the **pure engine** (``behave_shell.extract_session()``) against
+each of the five 2026-05-02 calibration shards. The shards live in
+``BEHAVE/prototype_extractors/shell/`` and are gitignored — fixture
+path is resolved via the ``BEHAVE_CALIBRATION_DIR`` env var; the test
+is skipped if that var is unset (CI provides it; local dev doesn't
+have to).
+
+The hard gate that this commit pins (and that all subsequent Phase
+B-G PRs must keep green): each shard must emit every Phase A
+primitive at least once across its sessions. Engine is allowed to
+emit *more* than required.
+
+Per-class expected values (the calibration **target**, not a hard
+gate yet — value-level pins land once cross-class thresholds are
+re-tuned with a wider corpus) are pinned in a softer cross-class
+discrimination check below.
