fix(ci): address Codex P1 findings — partial-dir retry + empty-ledger regression tests

Two P1 findings surfaced by the Codex reviewer on PR #355.

P1 #2 — partial-dir quarantine on retry (scripts/run_cross_asset_kuramoto_shadow.py):
  When a prior run failed after _fail_closed() created run_dir with only
  run_log.txt, the next invocation saw _already_written() == False and
  fell through to run_dir.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=False), raising
  FileExistsError and aborting the runner. This blocked clean retries
  after any transient failure.

  Fix: between _already_written() and mkdir(exist_ok=False), detect
  run_dir.exists() — meaning prior attempt left partial evidence —
  quarantine-rename it to <name>.incomplete.<YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ>, log an
  operational_incident (incident_type=incomplete_dir_retry, severity=LOW),
  then proceed with mkdir(exist_ok=False) on the now-clean path. The
  quarantined dir stays on disk as append-only audit evidence of the
  failed attempt.

P1 #1 — empty-ledger guard regression tests (tests/ops/test_codex_p1_regressions.py):
  The guard itself landed in commit 2882850 ('fix(ci): guard evaluator
  against empty live-ledger') — _compute_live_metrics now returns
  empty_metrics when live.empty or 'net_ret' not in live.columns.
  Codex is reading an earlier snapshot of the PR. Added three regression
  tests pinning the fix:

  * test_empty_ledger_returns_zero_bar_metrics_not_keyerror — direct
    _compute_live_metrics(pd.DataFrame()) call returns 0-bar dict, no
    KeyError.
  * test_schema_only_ledger_returns_zero_bar_metrics — DataFrame with
    the right columns but zero rows also returns 0-bar cleanly (the
    n==0 branch).
  * test_evaluator_cli_exits_0_with_missing_paper_equity — end-to-end
    CLI with --paper-equity pointing at a tmp-path missing file must
    exit 0 (BUILDING_SAMPLE / CONTINUE_SHADOW via the outer gate).

  Plus two tests for P1 #2:
  * test_runner_quarantines_partial_daily_dir — monkeypatches DAILY_ROOT/
    SHADOW_DIR/INCIDENTS into tmp_path, simulates the partial-dir
    scenario, confirms rename + fresh mkdir path without touching
    real evidence.
  * test_runner_retry_logic_matches_source_flow — meta-regression that
    asserts the runner source contains the three markers of the fix
    ('incomplete_dir_retry', '.incomplete.', 'run_dir.rename(quarantine)'),
    catching accidental reverts.

All 5 new tests pass locally. Full suite now 83 passed + 1 xfail (OBS-1
documented). mypy --strict, ruff, black all clean on changed files.

SOURCE_HASHES.json regenerated so the hashes-frozen test stays
consistent with the runner byte-change.

No signal logic touched. No frozen parameter modified. No evidence CSV
edited. combo_v1 closure enforcement intact.

+   when ``_load_live_ledger`` returns an empty DataFrame (paper-state
+   absent on CI runners, or the spike has not yet written its first
+   tick), the evaluator must NOT raise ``KeyError: 'net_ret'``; it must
+   return a 0-bar ``empty_metrics`` dict so the outer gate emits
+   ``BUILDING_SAMPLE`` / ``CONTINUE_SHADOW`` cleanly.
+
+2. Partial/failed prior-run quarantine in the shadow runner:
+   when a prior ``_fail_closed`` call created ``daily/YYYY-MM-DD/`` with
+   only ``run_log.txt`` (incomplete per ``_already_written``), the next
+   invocation must quarantine-rename the partial dir and proceed with
+   a fresh ``mkdir`` instead of aborting with ``FileExistsError``.
