engram: WAL persistence + integrity hardening + single canonical runtime
El SDK CI - dev / build-and-test (pull_request) Failing after 13m17s

Establish lang/runtime/ as the ONE canonical el runtime (from the active
runtime that carries hebb/emb persistence + the new WAL); repoint the el CI
publish, engram build, elb default, and in-repo build scripts to it; delete
the el-compiler/runtime + lang/releases/ forks; add scripts/check-single-runtime.sh
drift guard.

Fixes a live prod bug: the el CI published el-runtime-c/-h from the LAGGING
el-compiler fork (0 hebb refs), so the shipped soul never persisted Hebbian
edge weights — learned co-activation was wiped on every restart. Publishing
from canonical ships the stranded 'learning that cannot outlive the process'
fix.

WAL storage engine + integrity fixes (DELETE->tombstone + store-layer
protection, safe data-dir default) ride in behind ENGRAM_WAL (default off =
byte-identical to today). Verified: engram elb per-module build clean, WAL
gate 66/66, native smoke ok, drift-guard green.

**Do not add C code when El can express it.** If functionality can be built from existing El primitives (string ops, `exec`, `fs_read/write`, `http_post`, etc.), write it in El.

This is the self-contained C OS-boundary layer. It provides the `__`-prefixed primitives that compiled El programs call: libcurl HTTP, pthreads, filesystem I/O, arena allocation, etc. It is **not generated** — it is maintained by hand.
The old `el_runtime.c` has been archived to `el-compiler/runtime/legacy/`. The runtime is now native El (`runtime/*.el`). `el_seed.c` replaces `el_runtime.c` as the sole C compilation dependency.

**Only edit `el_seed.c` when you genuinely need OS-level access** (raw sockets, GPU calls, new libcurl features). For everything else, write El.
