feat: chain condition steps — defeasible/logical evidence as final chain hop
CI / publish (push) Successful in 9s
CI / test (push) Successful in 18s

A chain's FINAL (object-side) step may now reference a defeasible/logical
evidence. The compiler lowers it to a condition step
({ rule: <config>, conditionStep: true }) that the engine verifies at
(intermediate, object) instead of traversing an edge. Requires
@arbiter/core@^1.0.3 (ChainRule condition-step support).

- _expandChainSteps: a logical/defeasible/comparator evidence is expressible
  as a final condition step; non-final such steps remain a compile error
  (a condition cannot discover intermediate nodes).
- Dependency collection (generator + DSLRuntime) descends into condition-step
  rule configs, so partial-graph requirements reach through them.

Tests: ChainConditionStep (defeasible + ALWAYS steps, independent checkability,
parallel aggregation), oracle campaign chain_condition_step construct
(oracle = min(pm, pv*(1-pb))), DSLRuntime transitive required facts through a
condition step.
