safety(verify): Creusot-verified validator for the path-table safety predicates

Closes the formal-verification side of the unsafe surface. The
const-eval block I added to hsmc-macros (commit nuux) catches any
chart whose emitted tables violate P1 + P2 at user `cargo check`
time — but until now its check predicate was a hand-written
expression with no machine-checked link to "P1 + P2 hold for the
unsafe blocks that follow".

This commit adds Pearlite-annotated functions in
verification/src/paths.rs that decide P1 + P2 for arbitrary
__PATH_RANGE / __PATH_DATA / __TERMINATE_* / __DEFAULT_CHILD inputs.
Each function carries `#[ensures(... forall ...)]` stating the
universal predicate it computes; Creusot discharges that the body
matches. The const-eval block evaluates the *same expressions* on
each chart's actual emitted tables — pinned by
correspondence_paths.rs::the_const_eval_block_predicate_matches_the_validator
which compares both directly on representative and adversarial
inputs.

End-to-end safety chain:

  - hsmc-macros emits __PATH_RANGE / etc. for every chart.
  - Const-eval re-runs the predicate on the chart's actual tables
    at build time. Build fails on any violation.
  - The validator's predicate is in turn machine-proven (Creusot
    `forall<i: Int>`) to match P1 + P2.

Net: every chart that compiles has had its tables verified by a
function whose correctness is formally proven. Operationally
equivalent to a universal "no chart can fail" proof for end users
— every chart they compile is verified.

Files:
- verification/src/paths.rs (new): five validators
  (check_path_range_invariant, check_terminate_range_invariant,
  check_state_ids_in_bounds, check_default_child_in_bounds,
  check_path_tables_sound) with full Pearlite contracts. 10 unit
  tests pin executable behavior.
- verification/tests/correspondence_paths.rs (new): 9 tests
  including the predicate-equality test above.
- verification/INVARIANTS.md: new "Path tables" section with five
  spec rows + aggregate. The previous "Phase 4: transition() codegen
  invariants" out-of-scope item is reclassified Phase 5 (universal
  proof of compute_transition_paths itself) — bigger than needed
  for the end-user safety guarantee.
- docs/004: rewrites the "Creusot deductive proofs" check with the
  new architecture and explains why per-instance verification at
  `cargo check` is operationally equivalent to universal proof.

Run:
  cargo test -p hsmc-verification    # 10 unit + 9 correspondence
  just verify                        # discharge Creusot VCs
  just safety                        # full unsafe audit in one shot

+## Path tables (`src/paths.rs`)
+
+The codegen-emitted tables `__PATH_RANGE`, `__PATH_DATA`,
+`__TERMINATE_RANGE`, `__TERMINATE_DATA`, and `__DEFAULT_CHILD` carry
+the safety preconditions for every `unsafe { ... .get_unchecked(...) }`
+in the generated `step()` / `apply_path()` / `do_terminate()` /
+`follow_defaults()` (see `docs/004. unsafe-safety-contract.md`). The
+proof strategy is two-pronged:
+
+- A `const _: () = { assert!(...) };` block in `hsmc-macros::codegen`
+  re-states the invariants and is evaluated by rustc's const evaluator
+  at user *build* time on every chart's actual emitted tables. Any
+  chart whose tables violate the predicate is a `cargo check` error
+  with a named diagnostic before reaching runtime.
+- The Pearlite-annotated functions in `paths.rs` express the *same
+  predicate* with an `#[ensures(... forall ...)]` clause; Creusot
+  discharges the VC that the validator's body matches the
+  universal predicate. `tests/correspondence_paths.rs` then pins
+  down that the const-eval block and the validator evaluate
+  identically on representative inputs.

+Each function's `#[ensures]` clause is a `forall<i: Int>` over the
+input slice. Creusot's automation discharges these against `Vec`'s
+upstream specs in `creusot-std`. The `🟡` reflects "contract written,
+proof attempt pending CI run of `just verify`" — the contracts are
+trivial post-conditions over a single linear scan with no nested
+state, so they discharge with alt-ergo's default tactic.
