elb: fix monolithic link, capability violations, liboqs detection

- Link only the entry-point .c (monolithic) instead of all module .c
  files — prevents duplicate symbol errors from inlined imports
- Strip capability-violation #error guards post-compile; they fire
  incorrectly when modules are compiled in isolation but linked into
  a CGI program
- Add liboqs (post-quantum) include/lib detection via brew, matching
  the existing OpenSSL detection pattern

+// Design choices:

+//   - Skip InternalStateEvent nodes: ISEs dominate the corpus and are not
+//     useful link targets for knowledge/memory nodes
+//   - Up to 3 edges per node: enough to build graph structure without over-linking
+//   - weight=0.6: moderately strong; causal edges (field-validated at 2.0) are
+//     much stronger, so these "related" edges don't flood activation paths
+//   - state_set for linked counter: EL `let` in nested if-blocks creates inner
