will.anderson d097455d6a test(soul): integration and contract tests for layered_cycle composition
Adds tests/test_layered_cycle.el — 12 integration tests covering the full
L1→L2→L3→L1 stack: benign pass-through, hard-bell short-circuit, soft-bell
care augmentation, steward redirect for all 5 mission-conflict signals, empty
input graceful handling, sequential call isolation, and imprint state stability.

Adds tests/test_layer_contract.el — contract tests verifying the JSON
interface shapes between layers: safety_screen {action, content|reason|concern},
steward_align {action, content|redirect_to}, imprint_respond non-empty String,
and cross-layer action propagation from L1 screen through to L1 validate.

// tests/test_layer_contract.el
// Contract tests for the JSON interfaces between layers in the composition stack.
//
// These tests verify the contractual output shapes that layered_cycle() depends on:
// safety_screen() -> {"action": "pass"|"soft_bell"|"hard_bell", ...}
// steward_align() -> {"action": "pass"|"redirect", ...}
// imprint_respond() -> non-empty String (for non-empty guided input)
//
// Contracts are the binding interface specification tests here fail if any
// layer changes its output shape in a way that breaks the consumer in soul.el.
//
// Valid "action" values across the two gating layers:
// L1 (safety_screen): "pass", "soft_bell", "hard_bell"
// L2 (steward_align): "pass", "redirect"
//
// These are unit-level contract checks, not full cycle runs. Each layer function
// is called directly with controlled inputs.
import "../safety.el"
import "../stewardship.el"
import "../imprint.el"
// Harness (same pattern as test_layered_cycle.el)
