feat: sources wired as recency-gated injectables; transitive closure, NOT scoping, recompile-scope uninstall; targeted parse errors
CI / test (push) Successful in 20s
CI / publish (push) Has been skipped

BEHAVES AS transitive now emits bounded multi_hop configs (direct checks and
evidence references), fixing a silent no-op. NOT builds keep _subjectAsObject
scoping so unary predicates negate the right node, and value-typed evidence
objects gate by exact edge value. Recompiling a scope uninstalls its stale
relation configs (compileMultiple coexistence preserved). Sources become
injectable relations honored by requiredFacts with a within-X recency gate.
Duplicate definition fields and three common declaration mistakes (within on a
fact, two BEHAVES clauses, limit on a non-pattern body) now produce targeted
errors. Provider edges referencing unknown nodes are warned and dropped.
