Task 6.3.
- improve/evolve.py: evaluate_profiles and profile_regressions score the
holdout pair split per provenance profile every round; a drop in pair
pass rate or Youden beyond --profile-tolerance rejects the round with
reason profile_regression:<profile>; profiles under
--min-holdout-pairs are reported, not gated; journal records both.
- cli improve: --pair-catalog, --no-pair-gate, --profile-tolerance,
--min-holdout-pairs; a missing catalog fails loud instead of skipping
the gate.

Expose the bounded, gated self-improvement loop as a first-class subcommand so it
can be steered from the command line / opencode.
- `ousast improve <manifest>` resolves the target from the benchmark manifest,
runs the loop to convergence, and writes accepted edits to the loop-owned ledger
at <target>/.openultrasast/calibration/rule_policy.json — exactly where `scan`
and `benchmark` read it, so a subsequent scan of that target automatically
picks up the improved ruleset (the loop closes end-to-end).
- Flags: --max-rounds, --recall-floor, --fp-ceiling, --ledger, --journal,
--ruleset-dir, and --dry-run (runs against a throwaway ledger, touches nothing).
- Per-round output: reason, recall/fp/score deltas, and the edits applied.
- tests/test_cli_improve.py: accept path writes the loop-owned ledger (noisy rule
auto-shadowed), --dry-run never touches it, missing manifest fails loudly.
- README: quickstart entry + a "Rule-level loop: ousast improve" subsection
documenting the bounded levers, hard acceptance gate, and the HarnessX MetaAgent
as the optional proposer over the same gated machinery.
131 passed, 3 skipped; ruff + mypy clean; detection gate PASS.
