tests/fork_score: 18 tests for v8 ForkScore (#000012 Phase 1a — was zero coverage)

arborist/substrate/fork_score.py landed in #000012 Phase 1a but
shipped with no test file. 298 LOC of pure-function scoring +
verdict logic, exposed via the `arborist v8 score` CLI (now
substrate-rooted per ticket #000035 dir-rename).

Coverage:
  - bench_result_to_metrics adapter (BatteryResult JSON → nested
    {battery: {sub_battery: metrics}})
  - fork_score happy path: pure improvement → ACCEPT (score ≥
    SIGNAL_FLOOR=0.05)
  - marginal band: small improvement → MARGINAL (score in
    [0, SIGNAL_FLOOR))
  - zero parent + zero child → score 0 → MARGINAL
  - hard-reject paths: per-sub-battery HARD_REGRESSION_FLOOR
    (≥5pp drop on any 5S/5T/5F sub triggers REJECT regardless of
    overall positive score) + adaptation_efficiency_neg_infinite_count
    > 0 → NEG_INF_REGRESSION → REJECT
  - negative score → REJECT (separate path from hard-reject)
  - non-bench inputs: capital_delta penalty, audit_completeness
    bonus, security_risk subtracts WHEN iota>0 (default iota=0
    documented)
  - WeightSet customization flows through to output dict
  - ScoredFork.to_dict() JSON-serializable
  - score ≡ Σ breakdown.values() closure (no hidden term)
  - SIGNAL_FLOOR honored exactly (≥, not >) — score == 0.05 → ACCEPT

Fixed-point design discipline: tests use the constants from
arborist.substrate.fork_score directly (SIGNAL_FLOOR,
HARD_REGRESSION_FLOOR) so a bench-maxing PR that flips the floor
forces a tests-fail signal.

Default-iota=0 documented explicitly so future readers see "no,
you didn't break security_risk; it's deliberately opt-in."

"""Tests for ``arborist.substrate.fork_score`` — pure-function
ForkScore computation over (parent, child) BatteryResult bundles
(ticket #000012 Phase 1a).
Covers:
- bench_result_to_metrics adapter (BatteryResult nested dict)
- fork_score over the three rate-deltas (5S, 5T, 5F) and the
five non-bench inputs
- hard-reject paths: NEG_INF_REGRESSION, per-battery
HARD_REGRESSION_FLOOR
- verdict band: ACCEPT (SIGNAL_FLOOR), MARGINAL ([0, SIGNAL_FLOOR)),
REJECT (<0 or hard-reject)
- empty inputs (zero parent, zero child) score 0, verdict
MARGINAL
- ScoredFork.to_dict serializability
- breakdown sum identity (score Σ breakdown)
