fix(storm-measure): check BOTH halves of the activation SC, not just the count delta

The SC asks two things of an effort: high run: that it discovered at least
one dimension AND that the dimension list in the output brief is a TRUE
SUPERSET of the interview-derived ones. activationCheck computed
dimensions - dimensions_baseline >= 1 and returned ok on that alone. A
count delta says nothing about membership: a run that dropped two
interview dimensions and appended three discovered ones is +1 and passed
the check while violating the second half outright. Supersetness was
asserted only by Phase 4.5's prose contract that discovery appends -
nothing read it.

The stats record cannot carry the dimension names that would show it
directly: names are free prose, and lib/exporters/field-allowlist.mjs
denies prose by omission (question, project_dir, brief_path are already
excluded for that reason). So the run attests membership with
dimensions_baseline_preserved, a boolean set in a new Phase 4.5 step 5,
and the gate refuses to call activation OK without it. An ABSENT
attestation fails rather than falling back to the old count-only rule -
otherwise legacy rows would keep passing on the defect.

Producer side wired end to end: the record format, the measurement-fields
prose (five fields -> six), the exporter allowlist, the jsonl-schemas
fixture row, and the --activation-check comment in
docs/storm-measurement.md.

Review finding d2786604458207a5a73478cdcb6a54bbdb92141d (MINOR).

4. **Record the baseline.** Keep the interview-derived count as
`dimensions_baseline` so the discovered delta is machine-readable against
the final `dimensions` (Phase 8 stats).
5. **Attest membership, not just the count.** Set
`dimensions_baseline_preserved: true` only if EVERY interview-derived
dimension is still on the final list — this phase appends, it never replaces.
Set it `false` if any was dropped, merged away, or rewritten. A count delta
cannot show this: dropping two interview dimensions and appending three
discovered ones is `+1` and still not a superset, which is exactly what the
Success Criterion forbids. `storm-measure.mjs --activation-check` reads the
field and fails when it is absent, so omitting it is not the silent default.
