transduce: name the invisible mechanism, fix a silent-failure bug, drop a CRUD verb

El SDK CI - dev / build-and-test (pull_request) Failing after 14m6s

Details

ingest and transduce are complements, not synonyms: ingest is the conscious,
deliberate act of pointing at a source (ingest_file/dir/url/llm/stream stay
named exactly that); transduce is the automatic, invisible mechanism inside
it that converts extracted surface content into geometry (renamed
build_prose/build_structured -> transduce_prose/transduce_structured, the
functions that actually turn raw text into a node+edge manifold).

Real bug found and fixed along the way: the final /api/load-merge response
was never checked for an error. A total failure (bad auth, network down,
anything) silently reported nodes_added:0/edges_added:0 — indistinguishable
from a benign 'everything was already known' outcome. Verified live: with a
wrong key, the tool now honestly returns {"error":"load-merge failed:
unauthorized",...} instead of a misleading zero.

Also dropped a CRUD-verb smell: the per-decision println said CREATE (a
database-log verb for something that hasn't actually been written to the
server yet — it's a local, tentative decision pending the batch merge).
Renamed to FORM. The dead-code eg_create_node (defined, never called)
renamed to eg_crystallize_node and annotated honestly as unused, since if
it's ever wired up it represents the real server-confirmed write, unlike
the local FORM guess.

Not yet re-verified end-to-end against a real successful write: the
ingest-test sandbox (nsbx up ingest-test) is itself currently broken —
it prints a green "ready" banner after its own readiness check fails,
and nothing is actually listening. Filed separately; not in scope here.

Add native EL afferent ingest organ

El SDK CI - dev / build-and-test (pull_request) Successful in 6m29s

Details

Source-polymorphic ingest(source) primitive: extracts content faithfully
from a directory/file/url/llm-query/structured-primitive-set/stream,
decomposes it into a discrete multi-node graph manifold (nodes + internal
edges, never a single blob), and merges it into the engram geometry with
dedup (search + exact/cosine match), provenance, grounding-level, and
stewardship-class tagging from the moment of entry.

Pure HTTP client of the engram server (links only el_runtime.c, never
el_seed.c/the engine directly). Tested against a live nsbx sandbox engram
clone (127.0.0.1:8903) with real writes confirmed via /api/stats
(node_count 3201 / edge_count 6601).

Excludes ingest/build/ — local compiler scratch output (binaries, .c
codegen, .err logs), not source.
