test(agent-eval): report all three feedback metrics per arm, side by side (CG-11)

The three metrics existed but only run-all.sh printed them, one block per
run. ab-new-vs-baseline.sh — the harness that actually isolates a retrieval
change, both arms codegraph-on — grepped its parse output down to `by type`
and `Result`, so occupancy, sufficiency and allocation never reached the
maintainer running the A/B they were built for.

Both harnesses now print the three blocks under every run and end with one
compare-arms.mjs table: median [min–max] per arm across RUNS, sufficiency
pooled (it is per-CALL, so median-of-run-percentages would weight a 1-call
run like a 5-call one), allocation pooled by bytes and per run. The table is
"did it move?"; the per-run blocks stay the "why?" — only they name the query
that fell short and the file nothing cited. It reproduces the recorded CG-22
express result off logs already on disk: baseline 3/6 calls in the
`Read a file we returned` bucket at 82.0%, new 0/5 at 96.9%.

parse-bench-readme.mjs gets the same two metrics as a with-arm table, so the
CG-13 campaign aggregates all three rather than occupancy alone.

Also folds the CLI-block shim into no-cli-shim.sh and gives it to
ab-new-vs-baseline.sh. There it is not a with/without leak but an attribution
one, and it breaks all three metrics at once: output arriving through Bash is
charged to Bash in the occupancy table, and an explore issued through the CLI
is not a tool call at all, so it never reaches the sufficiency classifier or
the allocation parse. The run silently drops calls from every number.

The daemon pre-warm and the model policy are untouched.

Validated on one live gin arm (2 explores, 0 Read, all three blocks + table)
and against the cg22/cg15 and ab-readme logs. Selftest 68/68.

// One side-by-side table for the three feedback metrics, across the arms of a
// single A/B output directory. This is the "did it move?" view — the per-run
// blocks parse-run.mjs prints are the "why did it move?" view, and both are
// printed by the harnesses (ab-new-vs-baseline.sh, run-all.sh).
//
// residual context occupancy how much window the arm's retrieval still holds
// explore sufficiency whether a response was ENOUGH (agent's next act)
// allocation efficiency what share of returned bytes the answer used
//
// Usage: compare-arms.mjs <out-dir> <label> [<label> ...]
// e.g. compare-arms.mjs /tmp/ab-new-vs-baseline new baseline
// compare-arms.mjs /tmp/agent-eval headless-with headless-without
//
// Run discovery handles both shapes the harnesses write, per label:
// run-<label>-<i>.jsonl N independent runs (ab-new-vs-baseline, RUNS=N)
// run-<label>.jsonl + .tN ONE session, N turns (run-all.sh multi-turn)
// A `.tN` file is always a resumed SEGMENT of the run it hangs off, never a run
// of its own — mixing those up would report a three-turn session as three runs
// and average away the residual the later turns exist to charge.
