v0.2.6

A user can inspect a saved run through the Workbench without creating derived .cw files, while keeping the selected run and panel in the page address.

• Capability: The Workbench is a true read-only local view. A user can
  return to a saved run and inspect its graph, audit, metrics, and review facts
  without making new state files. The page keeps its selected run and panel.
• Implementation: Every Workbench panel now uses a no-persist projection
  for derived audit and metrics facts. An optional k6 proof drives all local
  page and API reads at 25, 100, 150, 200, and 250 RPS. The release control
  plane now owns the deterministic gate and gives local stderr facts on a
  failed child command. The reviewer checks semantic release risks only.
• Tests: The full k6 proof had no HTTP error or dropped work, p95 below
  15ms, p99 below 18ms, no .cw/ write, and a good read after load. Unit,
  smoke, parity, manifest, onramp, index, and release checks passed.
• Risk: Low. Default CLI and MCP report calls keep their durable write
  behavior. The new benchmark is opt-in and adds no runtime dependency.
  Invalid reviewer output stops a cut without a tag or a made-up approval.
