doctor: 4 calibration checks — abandoned/freshness/drift/voice (T12)

Adds the four calibration doctor checks per the eng-review spec.

abandoned_threads:
  Counts active high-conviction takes (weight >= 0.7) older than 12 months
  that have never been superseded. Signal, not error — always status='ok'
  with a count. The hint sends users to `gbrain calibration` for details.

calibration_freshness:
  Warns when the active profile is older than 7 days (configurable via
  the same env-var pattern other freshness checks use). Cold-brain branch
  (no profile yet) returns ok without scolding. Hint points at
  `gbrain calibration --regenerate`.

grade_confidence_drift (CDX-11 mitigation):
  Surfaces the count of auto-applied grade verdicts. Below 30: returns
  "need 30+ for drift detection". At/above 30: returns "drift math
  arrives in v0.37+". The surface is wired; the actual
  confidence-vs-accuracy correlation math is a v0.37+ follow-up once we
  have 30+ auto-applied verdicts to measure against. Closes the CDX-11
  hole structurally — the operator sees the surface even before the math
  is meaningful.

voice_gate_health:
  Tracks voice gate failure rate over the last 7 days. <30% fail rate →
  ok (template fallback is fine in isolation). >=30% → warn with hint
  to review src/core/calibration/voice-gate.ts rubric. Anchors the
  cross-cutting voice rule observability story.

All four checks return status='warn' with a diagnostic message on
engine errors — non-blocking, never throws. Matches the existing doctor
check pattern (see checkSyncFreshness for prior art).

Wired into runDoctor after checkRerankerHealth (the v0.35 cluster), in
the canonical block 10 slot.

Tests: 15 cases. 4 per check (happy path, alt-status, engine-throw
diagnostic, plus boundary tests for the freshness staleness gate at
exactly 7 days and the grade drift gate at 30 applied verdicts).
