feat(model): an endpoint its contract declares open carries no obligation

contributor-scan 2.8. VAmPI's last two false positives were register_user
and login_user, both declared open by its OpenAPI spec: the arbiter was
reporting a missing guard on endpoints whose contract says there is
nothing to miss.

**The fix keys on provenance, not on the value, and that distinction is
the whole task.** The mapper says "public" in two very different
situations. An OpenAPI operation with no `security` block is DECLARED
open, because the spec is a complete contract. A Flask handler with no
`@login_required` is "public" only because nothing was found -- which is
precisely the bug this family exists to report. Suppressing on the value
alone would have silenced the detector on its primary case, so
EntryPointRecord now carries `access_declared` and only a declaration
removes the obligation.

WordPress supplied the second source of declared access on the same day --
wp_ajax_nopriv_ for a logged-out handler, wp_ajax_ for a logged-in one,
permission_callback => __return_true for an open REST route. A rule resting
on one framework's convention would be a special case; two make it a shape.

  vampi entailed              6 -> 4
  access-control precision    2 of 4 -> 2 of 2
  known vulnerabilities       3 of 3 still entailed
  access_control offered to   6 of 14 handlers, exactly the six the spec
                              declares authenticated

**And the guard that decides whether it is a real improvement:** the
access-control pair corpus, which nobody tuned this against, is unmoved --
pair_correct 3 and leak 1 across all nine, pair_correct 2 and leak 0.0%
across the seven from projects unrelated to VAmPI, identical to task 2.6.
The precision was not bought by silencing the family. Pair excerpts carry
no route manifest and no hook, so nothing in them is declared open and the
rule correctly does not fire.

Gates byte-identical.
