Task 2.3 (Req 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 6.2).
- [variants] enabled / max_mechanisms config; MAP runs variant search
after the overlay in standard and deep scans only, appends the variant
findings, rewrites overlay.json with merged ids, and the manifest
records mechanisms_searched, files_searched, findings and
merged_into_overlay.
- REGRESS: variant findings join the candidate list after the promotions
as zero-score hotspots, under the existing safety check and cap.
- Spec notes for group 2 and the design synced (variant_search.py,
seed.py, derive_shape signature).
