feat(ar-024): enforce the invariant statically, and delete the fallback it caught
AR-024's register row gives its verification tier as "Static check -- no bare cosine outside a tagged EXCEPTION". No such check existed, so the invariant was enforced by reading, and reading had missed a live violation. scripts/ci/check_raw_cosine.py is that check, wired into the traceability workflow as a blocking step. It is honest about its reach: it catches direct cosine_similarity() uses not routed through a calibration, and it cannot follow a cosine through a variable across statements. That limit is documented in the script rather than left for someone to discover after trusting a pass. What it caught, and what this commit removes with it: The identity matcher's no-calibration fallback thresholded raw cosine distance (match_threshold) plus a ratio test (match_ratio, match_ratio_ceil). Worse than the invariant breach: it fed max(0, cosine) into TrackRegistry::observe, whose contract reads "posterior is a calibrated probability, never a raw cosine (AR-024) ... so the accumulation cannot be fed an uncalibrated number by a careless caller". It could, and did. And it disagreed with the rest of the pipeline about what "the fit failed" means -- same_person_probability answers that with the untuned default sigmoid and a loud warning, so association stayed in probability space while matching alone left it. One run, two policies, no announcement. Now one rule: cal_.probability() always, with a warning when the fit is not real. A worse answer than a fitted calibration, a better one than a number whose units nothing else shares. TrackGallery::set_calibration is mandatory for the same reason. Its default was max(0, cosine), which made expand_band_lo = 0.90 mean "cosine > 0.9" in a test and "P(same person) > 0.9" in production. FaceTrackerFunc already threw without one; the expansion store now matches. One exception is recorded, in the calibration's own dedup. It is not a close call: at 1 - 1e-7 it asks whether two vectors are the same vector, and it runs on the fit's input, so a calibrated comparison there would have to be calibrated by the fit it is feeding. Also drops seven dead keys from the optimizer's CFG_KEYS. Config keys are read with a contains() check, so each one had been silently inert since the field behind it was deleted -- a sweep varying one of them measured nothing and reported an ordinary-looking F1.
