Security Layer Model v0.3 — assign approvals and maturity

v0.2 recorded the approval object as the one open architectural hole, and
carried a latent instance of its own §9.1 rule: gate-house was catalogued as
owning conformance review with no engine to act through. Two engines were
seeded to close both.

- §9.4: the approval object goes to approval-engine — not Staff (§3.4 forbids
  the runtime state), not access-engine (an evaluator owning what it evaluates
  is self-dealing), not audit-core (append-only is the opposite property).
  access-engine consumes approvals as input claims under §6.2; audit-core takes
  the tamper-evident evidence. Operative state and evidence record are separate
  artifacts with separate owners.
- §9.5: graded progression goes to maturity-engine. gate-house judges and
  proposes; maturity-engine computes and remembers. Carries the guardrail that
  a level may never gate a decision directly — under §6.1 that would be a
  second decision point by the graded back door.
- §4 catalog gained both engines; §13 register updated.

Status proposed: the new engines are seeded by owner direction with no other
side to assent yet, and the approval evidence half needs audit-core's assent.
