feat(evals): paired lockstep runner, lossless subagent grading, deprecated-battery guard

- run_compaction_experiment: all arms advance turn-by-turn together
(randomized within-turn order, distinct DeepSeek cache user_id per
arm/session/trial, immutable manifest/fingerprint, strict completed-pair
import with provenance verification, bounded turn/summarizer retries with
failed_attempt_usage_unavailable marking).
- Lossless grading pipeline: grading_prep rebuilds full question/answer/
reference content from bundles + the frozen battery with sha256 integrity
columns (no 600/4000-char sheet previews reach a judge), grade_workflow.js
fans out blinded subagent judges, run_subscription_grading is the Codex
alternative, grading_merge validates verdict files positionally and
regenerates merged grades + a low-confidence human-review queue.
- ensure_battery_not_deprecated: runners refuse battery_sessions_v2.jsonl
(recycled-filler confound, evals.md harness corrections) unless
--allow-deprecated-battery; the flag is excluded from the scientific
fingerprint. battery_sessions_v2_1.jsonl is the repaired successor.
- check_triggers: compaction-evidence gates (min events, summary-input
floor, expected trigger tokens); report: work-metric-first layout,
context-window vs billed-input rows, trajectory cost curves.

+"""Run session-memory arms in randomized lockstep.
+
+Each session/trial owns one independent thread and DeepSeek ``user_id`` per arm.
+At turn N, every arm runs turn N in a deterministic shuffled order before any
+arm advances to N+1. This controls provider-load timing without donating cache
+entries across arms.
+
+Example (Stage 1):
+
+  uv run -m evals.run_compaction_experiment \
+      --battery data/eval/battery_sessions_v2.jsonl \
+      --tags tier1_contradiction tier2_longhorizon \
+      --trials 3 --out runs/deepseek_compaction_stage1
+
+This command makes paid model calls. It is intentionally separate from the
+ordinary single-arm runner so an accidental default invocation cannot launch
+the four-arm battery.

+prompt over stdin, validates the structured response, and atomically writes the
+``verdicts_NNN.json`` file expected by :mod:`evals.grading_merge`.
+
