Kjell Tore Guttormsen dc245af408 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).

// tests/scripts/storm-measure.test.mjs
// Step 11 — the STORM adoption gate's deterministic accounting core.
//
// The gate decides ONE thing: does the bounded Phase 5 loop buy enough extra
// source/coverage breadth to be worth flipping VOYAGE_STORM_ENABLED on by
// default. Thresholds are pre-registered in docs/storm-measurement.md BEFORE
// any measurement run, so this file pins the arithmetic that turns a
// trekresearch-stats.jsonl into a verdict — not the verdict itself.
//
// Two properties carry the gate's honesty:
// - runs with empty_turns > 0 are EXCLUDED from the gain and COUNTED, so
// adoption is never decided on a broken denominator, and
// - a stats file with no `effort` field is a loud error, never a silently
// empty group that reads as "no gain".
//
// Pattern: tests/scripts/synthesis-measure.test.mjs (pure core, no fixtures on disk).
