ticket #000031 Phase 3: warrant-chain-aware verifier suppresses WARRANT_MISSING
When a per-claim warrant_check would fire WARRANT_MISSING but the
cited chunk's document_root has a warrant-resolver derivation row
(Merkle-bound primary-source backing), the verifier now suppresses
the demote and tracks the claim on a new `warrant_proven_claim_idxs`
field. The render layer surfaces this as `· warrant proven via
chain ×N` in the audit-line tail so operators see when a claim got
through on the chain rather than on lexical anchors.

Mechanism (additive, fail-closed):

  1. New `arborist/qa/warrant_chain.py` — read-only helper that
     loads the frozenset of `core_root` values having a derivation
     row with `process_id LIKE 'warrant-resolver-v1%'`. One sqlite
     query per Q&A run, walks main shards + sibling crawl/ shards
     (skipping ad-hoc crawl_russell_/qa./snapshots. prefixes).
     Tolerates missing tables.

  2. `verify_claim_lattice` + `verify_claim_lattice_json` accept
     a new optional `warrant_chain_roots: frozenset[str]` parameter
     (default empty = backward-compatible). When the lexical
     warrant_check fails for a claim AND any cited evidence's
     source_root is in the set, the WARRANT_MISSING violation is
     suppressed and the claim_idx flows to a new
     `warrant_proven_claim_idxs` field on the verdict.

  3. `runner.ask` computes the warrant_chain_roots set once from
     the conn's main DB directory before invoking the verifier.
     Failure-mode fallback: empty set, behavior identical to
     pre-Phase-3.

  4. `query.py` threads `warrant_proven_claim_idxs` from the
     verdict into the result dict.

  5. `cli.py:_render_warrant_tail` adds a `warrant proven via chain
     ×N` segment when `warrant_proven_claim_idxs` is non-empty.
     Distinct from the pre-existing `_render_warrant_chain_tail`
     which counts cited SOURCES with chains; this counts CLAIMS
     that survived because of a chain.

Tests:
  - tests/test_warrant_chain.py — 9 new tests covering
    warrant_chain_lookup (basic / unrelated process_id / missing
    table / +alias variant / empty path) + has_warrant_chain
    short-circuit + verifier suppression behavior + verdict-field
    presence guarantee.

Live smoke: warrant_chain_lookup(~/.arborist/shards) returns
exactly 92 core_roots (matches the 92/92 claim-pack records
resolved earlier today).

Total: 1652 tests pass (was 1643). Honest layering preserved:
- soft signal (positive warrant_proven) lives on a separate verdict
  field, not in `violations` (which stays a hard-failure list)
- audit_mode (STRICT/HYBRID/UNGROUNDED) unchanged when chain
  suppresses WARRANT_MISSING — the claim was going to land at
  HYBRID without the suppression; the suppression keeps it at
  STRICT, which is now defensible because the warrant chain IS the
  warrant
- four-rung ladder rung promotes naturally: no WARRANT_MISSING in
  violations + no soft demotes -> EVIDENCE-WARRANTED via the
  existing _ladder_rung_for_lattice logic. No render-layer ladder
  change needed.

Phase 3 follow-ups still open under #000031:
- via_citation_alias process_id attribution (~15 LOC)
- source-side title-from-author backfill in HTML/textbook_tex
  ingest (~30 LOC)
