Require a token for writes and quarantine what nobody vouches for

Sixteen mutating routes now refuse a caller who cannot present the token the
server started with; queries stay open, because a question is not a write. The
environment variable is ELY_EYE_AUTH_TOKEN, following the repo's env_prefix
convention — the shorter name I reached for first returned 403 where the smoke
expected 401, and the server printed the reason.

Words from a stranger are quarantined on the way in: an HTTP upload is
third_party by definition, and a sentence carrying an instruction-shaped phrase
is quarantined whoever wrote it. A quarantined atom stays findable and stays out
of the compiled context until a second, live, unquarantined source agrees with
its rarest words. Corroboration is computed at read time because it is a
property of the corpus now, not of the moment a memory was written; it is
term-level, and the docstring says so.

forget now erases the source row and the compiled contexts beside the atoms, so
a forgotten memory leaves nothing that can still speak. The semantic cache key
carries a store revision, which fixes a real staleness: a context compiled
before new evidence arrived kept its old quarantine decision forever.

bench.audit --product still pointed at evals.py, which the p1-6 split moved into
backend/src/ely_eye/proofs/. It failed fast, but the anti-self-justification
rule had quietly stopped auditing the product; it now walks the package, and a
test pins that the package exists and holds no re-roll.

Gates: pytest 306 passed; ruff clean; mypy cold cache 24 errors in 9 files, the
recorded baseline, net zero; pyright 0 errors on the 23 backend files and the 2
bench files; go build/vet/test and gofmt clean; npm run build 221.39 kB with
eslint exit 0; bench/filesize_check clean; bench.audit --product clean over 31
harness files; scripts/mcp_write_smoke.sh PASS with the gate live across two
servers and the MCP child.
