* feat(artifacts): inventory and extract ESP32 firmware images

ESP32-family app and bootloader images (magic 0xE9) had no reader, so
open_binary refused OTA downloads, app partitions and bootloaders.

Add the esp-image container format behind inspect_artifact and
extract_artifact. A pure decoder reads each byte once and keeps only
fixed-size fields. Derived facts cover the chip, from a table cited to
ESP-IDF v6.1; segment classification as ESP-IDF's should_map and
should_load; checksum and appended SHA-256 results; app and bootloader
descriptors; Secure Boot v2 signature blocks, observed and unverified;
and undescribed trailing byte ranges. Truncation and undescribed bytes
make coverage unknown. ESP8266 images are refused with a specific
reason, and ciphertext stays unrecognized.

Add the format to every target, Evidence, snapshot, live-summary and
artifact vocabulary, document it, and add an optional verify:esp-images
lane that compares esptool-built images with esptool image-info and
espsecure signature-info-v2.

Refs #3615

* test(artifacts): run the ESP image lane on esptool v5.6.0

The lane compared descriptor fields only when esptool image-info printed
one, so a descriptor that REA reports and esptool does not print passed
without comparison. Compare the descriptor kind in both directions.

Record that the lane passed for all 13 images with esptool and espsecure
v5.6.0, the version the layout facts cite, as well as with 4.12.0.

* refactor(artifacts): define ESP image layout sizes once

The decoder and the derived facts each defined the segment-header,
appended-digest and flash-sector sizes, the erased-byte scan and the
offset formatter. Define them once with the other fixed-layout structures
and import them in both places. The signature slot count is the one
constant that drives the slot scan.

Correct the observedEnd comment: it is the end of the last chunk read.

* fix(artifacts): report ESP-IDF's segment length limit by chip

ESP-IDF's verify_segment_header rejects a segment of 16 MiB or more
unless the chip maps flash through 32-bit cache addresses
(SOC_SPI_MEM_SUPPORT_CACHE_32BIT_ADDR_MAP: ESP32-S3, P4, C5, C61, H4 and
S31 in v6.1). Record that capability in the chip table and add a
limitation for such segments; unknown chips get none.

`loaded` repeats should_load. It does not mean the bootloader accepts the
segment: verify_load_addresses still rejects one outside the chip's RAM,
which REA does not model. Say so in the docs, the skill reference and the
inventory limitation.

* test(artifacts): check ESP lane tools first and verify extraction

The lane started work before checking its tools, so a missing RISC-V
target, ld.lld, esptool or espsecure surfaced as a raw spawn or command
error. Check each one before building and name the variable to set. Warn
when esptool is not v5.6.0, the release the layout facts cite.

Assert each segment's class for the ESP32-C3 app, its variants and the
bootloader, as the Xtensa image already did. Extract the app and the
signed image through the CLI and compare every file with the bytes at
esptool's segment offsets or in the appended signature sector; the
source's SHA-256 must be unchanged and equal the reported root_sha256.

* docs(artifacts): state what the ESP image lane does not establish

The Verification section listed the lane's checks but not its gaps: only
ESP32-C3 and ESP32 images come from a real producer, no real project
build, OTA download or flash dump is inspected, no signature is verified,
and the lane does not run in CI.

Record the timing of the final lane run on esptool v5.6.0.

* fix(artifacts): compare ESP segment declarations

Segment entries hash only their data, so compare_artifacts reported a
segment that moved to another load address with the same bytes as
unchanged; only the image itself changed. Compare each segment's
load_addr and data_len as its declaration, as Node SEA and PyInstaller
members are compared, and count a changed declaration as a metadata
change, also when content is unavailable.

Header offsets are layout and the classification is derived, so neither
is compared.

* test(artifacts): run ESP lane commands as owned process trees

The lane ran its tools through execFile. A timeout killed only the direct
child, so a linker or assembler that Clang or GCC had started could keep
running while the lane removed its workspace. Run every command through
createVerifierCommands, check the tools inside withVerifierCleanup, and
remove the workspace only after commands.close() has stopped every tree;
a failed close keeps the workspace.

Only a nonzero exit now counts as a refusal or an expected esptool
failure; timeouts and spawn failures propagate. Supervising each command
roughly doubles the lane's run time.

* test(artifacts): cancel ESP decoding after its first decoded chunk

The cancellation test requested cancel or close on setImmediate, which
can land while the file is still being opened and checked, so it never
showed that decoding had started. It also passed against a reader that
ignored both requests while decoding. Acknowledge the decoder's first
chunk, then cancel or close, join the operation, and assert that no
later chunk reaches the decoder and that the reader ends closed.

* docs(artifacts): record which ESP metadata comparison ignores

Segments are compared by their declaration. The image's and the
signature blocks' format_metadata are not: every field comes from their
own bytes, which content comparison already covers, and a block's
image_digest_matches follows the image's content.

* docs(artifacts): state that ESP mmu_page_size is a base-2 logarithm

The app descriptor's mmu_page_size keeps ESP-IDF's name and value, the
MMU page size in log base 2 as esp_app_desc_t declares it, so 16 means
64 KiB. Say so in docs/esp-image.md and the schema comment; a reader
could otherwise take 16 as 16 KiB.

* fix(esp-image): retain member consumption and share lifecycle regressions

* test(artifacts): scope MCP catalogs and budget full-schema validation

* test(artifacts): verify compact output profiles and document bounded catalogs

* test(artifacts): close readers when cleanup-test admission fails

* test(artifacts): compare ESP image limitations with their owners

The decoder and reader tests froze complete limitation sentences, so a
harmless rewording failed them. The wording now has two owners:
ESP_IMAGE_LIMITATIONS in espImageFacts.ts, which the decoder, the inventory
and the reader use, and ESP_DESCRIPTOR_LIMITATIONS beside the descriptor
decoder. Tests compare delivered limitations with the owner, called with the
facts each case establishes (segment index, declared and available bytes,
offsets, chip, page range), next to the structured assertions they already
make. Delivered text is unchanged.

* test(esp-image): assert structured facts and owned guidance

* fix(esp-image): keep spi_flash_mode and descriptor fields before a truncated tail

ESP-IDF v6.1's esp_app_desc_t declares spi_flash_mode at byte 181, after
mmu_page_size, as the committed reference layout shows; the descriptor now
keeps it as stored. The decoder also required all 256 descriptor bytes,
though it reads none past byte 181, so a file ending in the reserved tail
lost the version, project, digest and revision facts it does hold. The app
descriptor now needs only its fields; the segment's truncation is reported
as before.

* test(esp-image): pin the P-192 public key digest to espsecure's layout

espsecure packs ECDSA signature blocks as "<BBBx32sB64s64s1031x" and
zero-pads a 48-byte P-192 point to 64 bytes, so the signature starts at
byte 101 for every SHA-256 curve. signature_info_v2 hashes sig_block[36:101]
and _digest_sbv2_public_key the curve ID with the padded point. No test built
a P-192 block; this one checks public_key_sha256 against that definition.

* fix(esp-image): keep each app descriptor field the file holds in full

A file can end anywhere inside the 256-byte esp_app_desc_t. The decoder
needed every field byte, so a cut at byte 176 dropped the version, project
and app_elf_sha256 it does hold. Once the 4-byte magic identifies an app
descriptor, each field is now kept when the file holds all of its bytes and
is null otherwise; observed_length records where the descriptor ends, so a
cut field is told apart from text that is not UTF-8. The fields after the
magic become nullable in the metadata schema.

* fix(esp-image): report a signature block whose image digest does not match

A CRC-valid Secure Boot v2 block can carry another image's digest. The
block recorded image_digest_matches false, but no limitation said so, unlike
a checksum or appended-SHA mismatch, so CLI and MCP summaries showed only
the generic unverified note. The mismatch is now a limitation; coverage
stays complete and signature_status stays unverified. The three other
signature-sector limitations move into ESP_IMAGE_LIMITATIONS with their
text unchanged, so all ESP image wording has one owner.

* refactor(esp-image): remove redundant descriptor byte guards
