anti 9cc3272a0d test(correlation/attribution): v0 calibration lockdown (Phase 7)
Four synthetic operator-behaviour scenarios at the merger level
(aggregate_observations) that pin v0's calibration:

* Stable HUMAN over 7 sessions   -> all primitives stable
* HUMAN switches to LLM mid-week -> primitives flip stable -> drifting
* Two operators alternating      -> primitives flag multi_actor
                                    (per-primitive; the cross-
                                    primitive multi_actor_suspected
                                    correlator is exercised by Phase 5)
* Single short session           -> all primitives unknown

Plus a threshold-lockdown test that asserts every named constant in
_thresholds.py against its v0 ship value. Anyone adjusting a
threshold without updating the scenarios fails this file.

This closes DEBT-051 at v0 — the attribution engine has a calibrated,
test-locked answer to "is this attacker stable / drifting / showing
multiple operators?" without crossing the persona-attribution bright
line. v1 (cross-attacker clustering, KD simhash linkage signal) is
gated on this v0 surface being stable in production for >= 1 month.

"""Phase 7 — calibration lockdown.
Four synthetic operator-behaviour scenarios that exercise the full
attribution merge contract end-to-end at the library level
(``aggregate_observations``). These are the v0 ship gate per
``ATTRIBUTION-ENGINE.md`` §"Phase 7": if a future change to the
merger / thresholds breaks any of them silently, this file is the
one that catches it.
Each scenario is shaped like a per-(identity, primitive) observation
series the worker would assemble from
``observations_for_identity_primitive``; the merger output is asserted
against the expected state vocabulary.
These tests are **load-bearing on the threshold defaults in
``_thresholds.py``** — when calibration shifts, both files change
together.
