calibration: synthetic corpus scaffold + privacy CI guard (T19 + T20)

T19 — synthetic corpus scaffold for extract-takes prompt tuning.
  test/fixtures/calibration/extract-takes-corpus/ — 5 representative
  pages across 4 genres (essay, people, companies, meetings, decisions).
  v0.36.0.0 ships a SMALL representative corpus as proof of structure;
  the full 50-page training set + 10-page holdout gets generated by the
  operator via `gbrain calibration build-corpus` (v0.37 follow-up
  subcommand) or by hand with the privacy guard catching violations
  either way.

  Privacy contract per D13': every page is SYNTHETIC. None of the
  names/companies/funds/deals/events refer to anything real. Placeholder
  names per CLAUDE.md: alice-example, charlie-example, acme-example,
  widget-co, fund-a/b/c, acme-seed, widget-series-a, meetings/2026-04-03.

  test/fixtures/calibration/README.md spells out the privacy contract,
  generation flow, and what the corpus is (stable regression set for
  the extract-takes prompt) vs is not (real anything).

T20 — privacy CI guard (CDX-14 mitigation).
  scripts/check-synthetic-corpus-privacy.sh greps the corpus for:
    1. Explicit dollar amounts ($50M, $1.2B etc) — would suggest the
       page memorized a real round size.
    2. Out-of-range year references (informational only for v0.36.0.0;
       deferred to a manual review checklist).
    3. Pages that reference ZERO placeholder names — suggests the page
       might be referring to real entities. Essay-genre fixtures
       exempt (they're anonymized PG-style writing by design).

  Wired into `bun run verify` (CI gate) so contributors can't accidentally
  land a synthetic fixture that leaks real-world specificity. The intent
  is fail-fast on accidental leakage; the operator can update the
  allowlist if a generic dollar amount is intentional.

  Closes CDX-14: 'CC reads real brain pages locally, writes nothing
  still risks privacy if any generated synthetic fixture memorizes
  structure-specific facts. Placeholder names are not enough.'

The corpus shipped here is intentionally small but covers the four
core gbrain page genres (essay, people, companies, meetings/decisions).
The v0.37 corpus-build subcommand will fan out to 50 with the operator
spot-checking + the CI guard enforcing the privacy contract.

+# v0.36.0.0 (T20 / CDX-14) — privacy CI guard for the synthetic calibration corpus.
+#
+# Scans test/fixtures/calibration/ for patterns that look like real-world
+# specificity. Fails the build if any are found. Closes the synthetic-corpus
+# privacy hole flagged by codex review CDX-14: "CC reads real brain pages
+# locally, writes nothing still risks privacy if any generated synthetic
+# fixture memorizes structure-specific facts. Placeholder names are not enough."
+#
+# What this catches:
+#   - Real dollar amounts (e.g. "$50M", "$1.2B")
+#   - Specific large round counts ($X cap is OK; "$50M Series B" is not)
+#   - Year-specific date strings outside the 2024-2026 placeholder range
+#   - The real founder/company names from the operator's network (looked up
+#     from a sibling file scripts/check-synthetic-corpus-allowlist.txt when
+#     present; otherwise we just check the placeholder allow-list)
+#
+# False positives stay safer than false negatives — this guard biases toward
+# the operator manually verifying a flagged page is legitimately synthetic.
