Tim Lingo 18e1ab6db1 feat(engram): add accumulation layer (layer 5) — new nodes default to it, not core-identity
El SDK Release / build-and-release (pull_request) Failing after 12m23s
Implements the accumulation layer from the Layered Consciousness architecture
(provisional 64/064,262) and answers the deferred design question. Per the spec
and Will's design: new user-facing nodes (memories, knowledge, conversations) are
created in an accumulation layer at the TOP of the consciousness stack — the engram
the user sees — while the layers below (safety, core-identity, domain, imprint,
suit) shape behavior but are hidden from the user.

- Adds ENGRAM_LAYER_ACCUMULATION (5) + the layer record in engram_init_layers
  (activation_priority 50, suppressible, not injectable, transparent=0).
- engram_node and engram_node_full now assign new nodes to ENGRAM_LAYER_ACCUMULATION.
- ENGRAM_LAYER_DEFAULT stays CORE_IDENTITY ON PURPOSE: it is the fallback for LEGACY
  nodes loaded from snapshots without a layer_id, so existing data (the originator
  corpus) is NEVER migrated. New-nodes-only — the immutable-originator rule.

This is the foundation for fixing the identity-bleed / customer-isolation issue
(user data was landing in Neuron's core-identity layer). The retrieval-side
provenance filter (introspection should compile from accumulation, not the
originator corpus — Persona 64/036,574) is a follow-on, pending the batch-2
Layered Consciousness + Engram spec docs for exact semantics. Compiles clean.
