Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 82cc7fff90 fix(context): env-plane window knob works config-less; harden two gateway-state-leak victims
Three CI-only check failures, two root causes:

1. windowTurnCount ignored GBRAIN_RETRIEVAL_REFLEX_WINDOW_TURNS when
   loadConfig() returned null (no config file AND no DATABASE_URL — a clean
   CI shard with no brain). loadConfig drops its env→config mapping in that
   case, so the documented escape hatch silently died and the window fell
   back to 4 → windowed extraction widened when the test set window=1 →
   prior-turn entity leaked. Fixed: read the env var directly in
   windowTurnCount, mirroring reflexEnabled's direct process.env read. This
   is a real product bug, not just a test artifact — any config-less host
   using the env hatch was affected. Regression test pins it.

2. sync-cost-preview + doctor-federation-health failed only IN-SHARD: a
   sibling test configured a non-legacy (ZeroEntropy 1280-d / $0.05) gateway
   and never reset it. The legacy-embedding preload only restores the
   OpenAI/1536 default when the gateway slot is EMPTY, so a non-empty foreign
   config survives into the next file — and a file's beforeAll runs BEFORE
   the preload's restoring beforeEach, so federation-health built a
   vector(1280) column and its 1536-d fixture hit CheckExpectedDim. My new
   test files reshuffled the deterministic file→shard assignment, exposing
   this latent ordering bug. Hardened both victims to establish the gateway
   state they assert (sync-cost-preview resets to the unconfigured fallback;
   federation-health pins legacy 1536 before initSchema) so they're
   order-independent. Verified against a simulated leaker run before them.

/**
* Retrieval Reflex — resolver + assemble() regression tests (#1981, T5).

* Encodes the motivating failure: a turn naming an entity with an existing brain
* page must surface a pointer BEFORE the agent answers. Runs against a hermetic
* in-memory PGLite engine (no file lock). The PGLite-in-production path is
* covered by exercising the resolver through an injected resolver (the same
* shape the serve IPC / host ctx.brainQuery supply).
