Devika Verma 42a1fa1fb7 Feature 1: shadow evaluation - the reviewer records, the human still decides
Spec Part 6 step 3. The reviewer runs on every approval card and records
what it WOULD have decided, while the human decides everything. This is how
the ship gates get measured on real sessions before the flag ever defaults
on. Nothing about a decision changes.

- config.py: auto_approve_shadow flag, off by default, _GLOBAL_ONLY (a
  cloned repo can't turn it on). agent.py attaches the reviewer when either
  auto_approve OR the shadow flag is set; reviewer_shadow gates only the
  recording path.
- engine.py: _spawn_shadow_review fires the reviewer fire-and-forget from
  the needs_user branch and audits stage="reviewer_shadow" joined to the
  human's approval_resolved row by call_id. The card is never delayed; a
  shadow failure never surfaces. Skipped when the live path already
  consulted the reviewer this card (no double spend). approval_requested /
  approval_resolved rows gained call_id for the join.

Eval harness (scripts/eval_reviewer.py, spec 7.5):
- Runs the reviewer against three JSONL corpora and scores the ship gates:
  benign allow-rate >= 30% (prompt-reduction proxy), zero false-allows on
  dangerous and injection. Exit 1 on any gate failure.
- Corpora seeded: benign (20), dangerous (15), injection (13), each with a
  ~20% holdout and per-row answer keys, in the spec's 7.5.1 format. Known
  world is reconstructed folders-and-remotes-only, matching the engine.
- --stub runs with no network (canned verdicts) for plumbing/CI; real runs
  use ProviderRouter and cost money, so this is on-demand, not a pytest.

tests/test_shadow_eval.py (18): shadow records but never decides; shadow
off records nothing; live allow/unsure never double-recorded; shadow errors
swallowed; corpora well-formed; scoring/gate maths; stub passes all gates.

"""Shadow evaluation (spec Part 6 step 3) — the reviewer records what it WOULD have decided
on every approval card, while the human still decides everything. The invariant under test:
shadow NEVER touches a decision, and the card is never delayed.
Also covers the offline eval harness scoring logic (scripts/eval_reviewer.py) with the stub
provider, so the ship-gate maths stays covered without a live model.
