fix(explore): pay every admitted file on every render path (CG-26)

The invariant this closes: every admitted file receives at least its
reservation before any file draws on carry-forward slack. CG-30 bounded an
oversize cluster member and CG-31 gave the cluster path a displacement guard;
three holes were left, and each one starved a file that had been admitted,
reserved and — in the worst case — rendered.

1. The whole-file arms had no displacement guard. BUY's fit test read
   `renderCeiling - totalChars` (everyone's room) while its source-space
   sibling refused the same trade, and GRACE was not fit-tested at all.
   okhttp's CallServerInterceptor.kt shipped 8,499 chars on a 5,964 funded
   ceiling and the rank-6 file below it delivered nothing. Both arms now test
   the render they actually produce against `fundedHeadroom`, and a whole
   render that does not fit falls through to clustering instead of skipping
   the file.

2. Every section was charged a flat 200 chars while a real header runs
   300-500. The loop believed it had room it did not have — okhttp allocated
   26,601 against a 24,400 ceiling — so the final truncation threw a
   fully-rendered section away. Sections are charged their real cost now, the
   owed-below arithmetic uses a per-file overhead estimated from the file's own
   symbols, and a marginal overrun trims the weakest cluster (or windows the
   last one into the room that is left) rather than skipping the file over a
   rounding difference.

3. `owedPayableBelow` held all-or-nothing. When the last admitted file's FULL
   reservation no longer fit, nothing was held for it: on the precise-query
   fixture the rank-5 file took 4,134 chars against a 2,948 reservation while
   rank 6 — admitted, reserved 2,539 — was left 4 chars and skipped. It now
   holds the remainder while that remainder is still worth a section
   (MIN_CHARS).

And the epilogue is budgeted instead of discarded. The flat 600-char margin was
neither the epilogue's size (1,064 gin, 1,788 django, 2,231 excalidraw) nor a
bound on it, so four of six suite repos shipped with no pointer list and no
reminders at all. The loop now reserves the epilogue's FLOOR — the one line
that says an uncovered area exists, plus a pointer for every file whose bytes
were deliberately withheld (CG-12) — and the rest is fitted to the room that
actually remains, in priority order, entry by entry. Sized from the real
strings; no constant was swept against the suite.

Deterministic, same clean-rebuilt indexes, baseline = CG-31 tip:

  repo         base source   new source   files      ceiling
  django            20,791       20,878   6 -> 6     was discarding its epilogue
  tokio             21,521       21,607   5 -> 5     was discarding its epilogue
  okhttp            19,034       18,870   5 -> 6     +1 file delivered
  excalidraw        20,204       19,652   8 -> 8     keeps its pointer list
  gin               10,776       10,776   4 -> 4     byte-identical
  alamofire         11,662       11,662   2 -> 2     byte-identical

No repo truncates any more and none loses a file. okhttp and excalidraw trade
164 and 552 source chars on their LAST-ranked file for the pointer list naming
what the response could not cover — bytes the CG-31 tip only had because it
over-filled a ceiling it mis-measured and then discarded the epilogue whole.

* Deterministic 6-repo envelope sweep for `codegraph_explore` (CG-26).
*
* The allocation issues (CG-30 / CG-31 / CG-26) are all decided by how the
* render loop divides a fixed byte ceiling, and the agent A/B is far too noisy
* to see a 2K byte shift. This runs the SAME six queries the CG-30 and CG-31
* benchmark tables use, against the same clean-rebuilt corpus indexes, and
* prints the numbers those tables are made of: source chars delivered, files in
* the final output, whether the hard ceiling cut anything, and whether the
* epilogue survived.
*
* Numbers come from the CG-4 diagnostic (`CODEGRAPH_EXPLORE_DEBUG`), so this
* measures the shipping allocator rather than re-deriving shares from markdown.
*
* Usage (needs a current `npm run build`, and full-REBUILT indexes — CG-33):
