El SDK Release / build-and-release (pull_request) Failing after 14m46s
fix(engram): tokenized + ranked lexical search, not whole-query Ctrl-F
engram search/activate/goal-bias matched the ENTIRE raw query string as a
single case-insensitive substring (istr_contains(field, q)). Multi-word
queries like "windows msi signing" only matched a node containing that exact
contiguous run, so real multi-word queries returned ZERO on a graph saturated
with the answer. This is Ctrl-F, not search — and search is the core of the
engram being useful.

Fix: split the query on whitespace into distinct tokens; a node matches if it
contains ANY token in content/label/tags. Rank by distinct tokens matched
(desc) then salience (desc). istr_contains is kept unchanged as the per-token
primitive. Single-token queries are a strict special case (score 0 or 1) so
the many single-word callers do not regress.

Sites changed (all in el_runtime.c):
- new helpers engram_tokenize_query / engram_node_match_score / engram_rank_cmp
- engram_search           (internal el_val_t path)
- engram_search_json      (HTTP /api/search path)
- engram_activate seed loop (HTTP /api/activate path; seed activation scaled
  by token coverage so full-query matches seed more strongly)
- engram_goal_bias overlap bonus upgraded to graded token coverage

Proof (6591-node snapshot copy, rebuilt binary on :8799, POST JSON path):
  windows msi signing  0 -> 20   Will Anderson  0 -> 20
  windows msi          0 -> 20   tokenized search fix  0 -> 20
Single-word parity preserved (VBD/volatility/elc capped at limit; unkey = all
matching nodes). Top hits are relevant (e.g. "Will Anderson" surfaces the
Project Design and VBD whitepapers).

Note: GET ?q=a%20b still returns 0 because query_param (server.el) does not
URL-decode — a separate EL-layer bug; the soul's POST-JSON path is fixed here.
