Remove generation profile tiering; use explicit runs count

 ## Trust and Safety
 
 - **Deterministic replay**: Every failure includes a seed and a one-command replay.
-- **Generation profile aliases**: Control test budget with `--generation-profile quick|standard|deep`.
+- **Explicit test budget**: Control how many tests run with `runs: 10` in your preset.
 - **CI-safe default path**: `verify` is deterministic and safe for CI pipelines.
 - **Machine-readable output**: `--format json-summary` and `--format ndjson-summary` for CI dashboards.
 - **Production-safe observe path**: `observe` is non-blocking by default. Blocking behavior requires explicit break-glass policy.
