Marius CiepluchandClaude Opus 4.8 328406ad41 search-with-proof: positive control for path oracle — honest serve signal, no false negatives
The HTTP verifier could not distinguish a mis-wired or non-serving app from a
genuine no-effect: both yielded `inconclusive`. This adds a positive control for
the path oracle.

- PathOracle plants a benign in-root marker file (random token from os.urandom,
  distinct from the secret canary) and exposes it via a new Oracle.control()
  hook (default None; only the path oracle implements it today).
- On the first run of an HTTP side, _side runs a benign GET for that marker as
  its own fully-guarded app start. The marker returning proves the interface
  serves the fixture; its absence — or any control failure — is recorded in the
  new SideRecord.control_observed field but never changes the verdict, since a
  valid app may answer only its own routes. A crash is still caught by the
  existing could_not_run path.

A 2xx-based "nothing served" block was rejected: the verifier deliberately
treats any HTTP status as the app being alive (a 503-only app is a valid
observed side), so status-based blocking would false-fail valid apps. Soundly
converting a mis-wired-but-responding app into could_not_run requires a
demo-declared control, which is a separate follow-up.

Tests: new tests/test_search_control.py covers marker observed, absent marker
not blocking, control failure not blocking a working attack, and crash still
could_not_run. Full search-verify/probe/worker suites pass; ruff clean; mypy
unchanged (only the pre-existing file_bindings lambda note).
