anti c2891d6cca feat(correlation/attribution): substrate + idle handler (Phase 1)
v0 Phase 1 of ATTRIBUTION-ENGINE.md:

* AttributionStateRow SQLModel keyed on (identity_uuid, primitive)
  per ANTI direction — re-keying state rows when the v1 clusterer
  merges attackers is the migration debt v0 should not bake in.
  ATTRIBUTION-ENGINE.md updated with the deviation note.
* AttributionMixin: ensure_stub_identity_for_attacker, idempotent
  upsert_attribution_state, get_attribution_state[_for_identity],
  list_multi_actor_identities (the Phase 5 correlator's read).
* attribution.profile.{state_changed,multi_actor_suspected} bus
  topics + builder; wiki Service-Bus.md updated separately.
* attribution_worker.py: subscribes to attacker.observation.>,
  ensures stub identity per event, logs and continues. No merger,
  no state writes, no derived events — Phase 4 wires those.
* attribution/{aggregate.py,_thresholds.py} skeletons: Phase 2
  fills _aggregate_categorical, Phase 3 adds numeric+hash+dispatcher.

"""Calibration thresholds for the attribution engine — every magic
number lives here, named, with the calibration source cited.
v0 values are heuristic. Real calibration ships when red-team
exercises produce labelled trace data
(``ATTRIBUTION-ENGINE.md`` §"Out of scope"). Until then these constants
are the engine's only knobs; aggregate.py never embeds a literal.
