feat(invariants): dev-mode event-contract assertions + session-log freeze (RFC 005 pt 3, RFC 008)

New @deepseek-ai/dsh-invariants plugin (pure listeners, off in prod) asserts
the event taxonomy at runtime — seq monotonicity, turn/step nesting, a
tool/result needs a prior tool/call (NOT the converse), legal agent/status
transitions — and deep-freezes logged event data so mutating history throws.
Seeded sessions are checked + frozen on session/created.

The real RFC 008 fix is always-on: deriveMessages now structured-clones the
content it emits, so the loop's sanctioned request/adapter mutation can no
longer reach back and rewrite the append-only log. The pervasive
DeepReadonly<T> type flip is rejected (compile-only, high-noise, castable) —
recorded in ADR 0012, which folds in RFC 008. Wired into both demos.

/**
* Dev-mode invariants: a pure-listener plugin that asserts the harness event
* contract at runtime, and (optionally) freezes logged session-event data so
* any code that mutates history throws instead of corrupting silently.
*
* Everything is a plugin — this is just listeners on `session/created`,
* `session/event`, and `agent/status`. It is **off in production**: enable it
* in tests and the demos, where a contract violation should be a loud failure,
* not a subtle one. It doubles as executable documentation of the event
* taxonomy: the assertions below ARE the contract.
*
* Why runtime assertions instead of compile-time deep-readonly types? See
* ADR 0012. Briefly: a `DeepReadonly<SessionEvent>` is high type-noise across
* every log consumer and a plugin casts straight through it; a dev-mode freeze
* + assertions catch real corruption at zero production cost and zero type
* noise. The always-on half of that defense (cloning derived messages) lives
* in dsh-session; this package is the dev-mode tripwire.
*
* @module @deepseek-ai/dsh-invariants
