anti 2f8c107e70 feat(profiler/behave_shell): emit cognitive.feedback_loop_engagement
BEHAVE-EXTRACTOR.md Phase A Step 7. The orthogonal axis — does the
operator's pause-after-command correlate with bytes of output they
just saw? Splits HUMAN/CLAUDE-CL (closed_loop) from LW-sim/CLAUDE-FF
(fire_and_forget); cuts ACROSS the LLM/human axis.

* _features/cognitive.py:feedback_loop_engagement(ctx) emits one
  Observation in {closed_loop, fire_and_forget, unknown}.
* Pearson correlation between ctx.output_per_cmd[i] and
  ctx.inter_cmd_iats[i] (paired by construction in Step 4); via
  statistics.correlation with constant-series fallback to "unknown".
* r > FEEDBACK_CORRELATION_MIN (0.30) → closed_loop; otherwise
  (zero, negative, or undefined) → fire_and_forget.
* First primitive that depends on output events: zero output events
  in the shard or fewer than FEEDBACK_MIN_PAIRS (5) pairs → emit
  "unknown" at confidence 1.0 (the absence-of-data is itself a
  high-confidence answer). Zero-command session skips entirely.

Tests: no-output → unknown, few-pairs → unknown, strong positive r
→ closed_loop, constant pace → fire_and_forget/unknown,
negative r → fire_and_forget.
