feat(okf): the mapping class gets one expressible form, typed and allowlisted

OKF v0.2 writes its whole trust and provenance layer as mappings, and T2 gave
the mapping class no expressible form. A consumer measured 0 of 53 upstream
concepts through the gate on 0.3.4, 1.0.0 and 1.1.0. That was a contract
collision, not a calibration setting: SPEC.md @ 62432a09 uses flow mappings in
its own 5.1/5.2 examples, and 11 carries a hard MUST for consumers ("MUST treat
a bare `verified` mapping as a one-element list") that presupposes they parse.

Admitted: a flow mapping, as a value or as a block-list item, whose every key is
on a nine-name allowlist and whose every leaf is a plain scalar run through the
unchanged dangerous-value and mapping-construct predicates. The form is safe
because the allowlist inspects every key -- the blanket refusal was the
enforcement, not the point.

Refused, each on its own rule and ground-truthed against PyYAML 6.0.3: a key off
the allowlist, a nested collection, a quoted leaf, a duplicate key, an empty or
unclosed mapping, trailing junk, and {a:b} (which PyYAML reads as the KEY a:b).
A refused mapping still raises rather than degrading into a string, so the 1.1.0
type-confusion defect is not reopened, and the block, dotted and inline-colon
routes still raise.

`resource` is deliberately off the allowlist though SPEC.md 5.1 names it inside
a `sources` entry: it is a pointer rather than a label and the only key T3
exists for, so admitting it would let `executor: { resource: skills/run.md }`
carry an executable-code pointer through in typed clothes -- the door-C route
closed in 1.1.0. It costs nothing today, because the conformant carrier for
sources[].resource is a block sequence of block mappings, which stays refused.

Mapping leaves are scanned like every other frontmatter value (T1). Coverage
matrix 130/130 (new row: the off-allowlist key). No exported surface, detector
behaviour or calibration changed.
