tegwick 4ddb2f896c T05: the lab and its labelled mutation catalogue
lab/app.py (users, tenants, auth, resources, sharing, read/write, revoke,
audit), lab/http_api.py (JSON API + browser UI, stdlib only), 20 labelled
composable version-stamped mutations, ground-truth matrix. 48 tests pass.

Detection against the reference scenario: MECHANICAL 0/10 flagged (correct),
DEFECT 6/6, SEMANTIC 2/4 with both inert cases declared.

- F-0002: M16 and M18 initially escaped detection entirely. A use case
  protects exactly what it asserts. Resolved by adding two claims already
  stated as intent in INTENT.md; the six-mutation catalogue would never have
  surfaced this.
- test-id axis added: stable selectors survive most UI mutations, which would
  make H-001 trivially false. Mutations now vary on preserves_test_ids so the
  hypothesis is analysed split by that axis rather than rigged.
- M12 (semantic deferred revoke) and M19 (defect race) are behaviourally
  identical and asserted as such - the discrimination problem as a test.

lab/minimal.py removed; superseded by lab/app.py.

"""The lab is the measuring instrument. These tests keep it honest.
Nothing here tests the kernel's cleverness — the kernel has no classifier yet.
What is established is the **ground truth** every later measurement is taken
against: which mutations the reference scenario responds to, and how.
The response matrix below is an asserted fact, not a snapshot. If a change to the
lab or the scenario moves a cell, that is a change to the measuring instrument
and must be a deliberate, reviewed act.
