feat: intermediate chain condition steps + _subjectIsObject unary scoping
CI / publish (push) Successful in 10s
CI / test (push) Successful in 19s

- _expandChainSteps: a logical/defeasible evidence referenced by a chain step
  is now a condition step ({ rule, conditionStep }) at ANY position. As the
  FINAL step the engine verifies it at (intermediate, object); as an
  INTERMEDIATE step the engine expands it from the current node (rule-based
  reachability: base edges' destinations filtered by the rule's
  defeaters/requirements) and continues traversal from each discovered node.
- buildPredicateRule / buildDirectRule: unary predicate calls whose subject
  entity IS the evidence's object parameter (trusted(other) inside
  peer_trusted(user, other)) are marked _subjectIsObject (was: only subject-var
  calls got _subjectAsObject). Requires @arbiter/core@^1.0.4.

Tests: ChainConditionStep intermediate expansion; oracle campaign gains a
chain_intermediate_condition construct (oracle = min(peer*(1-trusted), read)).
