feat(telemetry): the readout names rules that were opened and changed nothing (#4213)
Milestone 419 step 2. Step 1 made an outcome recordable; this makes it
readable. `retrieval_summary`'s rule block gains `applied`, `departed` and
`distinct_rules_acted`, and `_compute_warnings` gains two codes.

TWO CODES, NOT ONE WITH A ZERO IN IT. `read_and_unacted` reports rules that
were opened and left no outcome, against the ones that did. It only fires once
outcomes exist anywhere in the window, because a window with none cannot tell
"every rule was ignored" from "nothing calls `rule_outcome` yet" — and on
every install the day this ships, the truth is the second. Claiming the first
there would be #3311's failure exactly: a statistic that could not vary being
read as a fact about the corpus. The cold case gets its own code,
`outcomes_never_recorded`, whose prose says in as many words that it does NOT
mean the rules were ignored.

`applied` AND `departed` ARE NOT SUMMED. A departure carries the reason the
agent gave and is evidence about the RULE; an application is evidence about
the agent. Folded together they would say only "an outcome exists", which is
true of both and useful about neither. `distinct_rules_acted` counts either,
because for the unacted arithmetic the distinction does not matter.

An outcome is not a pull. The fold branches on OUTCOMES first and never routes
an outcome through the surfaced/ambient split: `source` on an outcome row
names the door the outcome came through, not a ranker, so the ambient
distinction has nothing to say about it. An integration test holds that line —
if an outcome leaked into the pull counters the silently-unchanged rule would
vanish into a compliant-looking total, which is the confusion #4212 was opened
to end.

Verified by lifting the shipped `_compute_warnings` out of source with `ast`
and exercising it against the six populations the new tests assert: cold
instrument, warm instrument, departures-only, full compliance, nothing opened,
and a failed read. The integration tests for the new counts run against real
Postgres in CI — count(distinct) with an IN over an unconstrained column is a
SQL shape a mock would agree with whatever it did, which is what #2663 was.

"""`retrieval_telemetry` says what is wrong, rather than implying it (#3431).
WHY THIS IS TESTED AS ARITHMETIC AND NOT THROUGH THE DATABASE. The warnings
are a pure function of the blocks the readout already built — that is the
design, so a verdict can never disagree with the numbers printed beside it —
and the risk in them is not whether rows load. It is whether a rule fires on
the wrong shape. Every case below is a shape that once produced, or would
produce, a wrong reading:
* an arm that never declines, which is either a missing floor or a missing
LOG (#3497 — the rule arms recorded only their hits, so their decline
count was structurally zero and the obvious warning would have sent a
reader to move a threshold that was never involved);
* a search that never declines, which is a search working correctly;
* a quiet window, where firing every check would describe an empty database
rather than a broken one (rule 115);
* a floor the band is sitting on, which is the case where tuning changes
volume while looking like it changes quality.
The ε and N boundaries are tested from BOTH sides. A threshold asserted only
where it fires is half-tested: the expensive failure here is a false positive,
because a readout that cries wolf is one nobody reads.
