Add per-deployment adaptive optimization + VEIL npm metaharness (ADR-289)

Two additions on top of the hyper-optimized VEIL shield.

1) Adaptive optimization (v2/crates/wifi-densepose-privshield/src/optimize.rs):
   - optimal_bits_across_snr / model_optimal_bits_for_snr: the throughput-
     optimal feedback resolution shifts with SNR (unconstrained optimum 4 bits
     at 5-10 dB, 3 bits at 20-40 dB); within the spec {5,7,9} set it stays 5,
     which is why the shipped shield is SNR-stable.
   - adaptive_shield / min_passes_for_n: derive a shield for a specific
     deployment. Finding: the collapse budget is N-independent in this model
     (48 passes collapses N in {8,64} alike) — it is set by the fine-subspace
     dimension, not the candidate count. Defaults unchanged, so the proof
     witness is untouched. 38 tests + doctest pass; clippy -D warnings clean.

2) npm metaharness harness/wifi-densepose-privshield/ (ADR-289), mirroring
   wifi-densepose-sar-harness (ADR-286) with two improvements:
   - @metaharness/* imported dynamically inside the commands that need them, so
     `guidance` and `--help` run with ZERO dependencies installed (offline / pre
     `npm install`).
   - a dependency-free VEIL `guidance` command: a source-cited, evidence-
     labelled, read-only capability map (topics: overview, threat,
     countermeasure, compliance, optimization, experiment).
   Standard router + flywheel (SYNTHETIC) + Darwin wiring, tailored to VEIL
   task axes and policy levers. Tests: smoke + router + flywheel (need install)
   and guidance (offline). .harness manifest generated with real per-file
   hashes. Validated offline: cli syntax, --help, guidance topics, exit codes,
   graceful degradation when deps are absent.

Docs: research bundle 08 gains a per-deployment adaptivity section; 07 and the
crate README point at the harness; ADR-289 added and indexed.

## 6. Robustness caveats (unchanged from the threat model)
## 6. Per-deployment adaptivity
The optimum is not one number — `optimize` derives it per deployment:
- **SNR → feedback resolution.** `optimal_bits_across_snr` shows the
*unconstrained* throughput-optimal resolution shifting with SNR: **4 bits at
510 dB, 3 bits at 2040 dB** (low SNR values fine resolution more because
the Shannon capacity is near-linear there, so the residual costs more). Within
the spec-allowed {5,7,9} set the choice is 5 bits across this whole range —
the residual is already negligible at 5 bits — which is why the shipped shield
is SNR-stable.
- **Identity count → mixing.** `adaptive_shield(base, n)` derives the config for
a room with `n` expected occupants. A notable finding: in this model the
collapse budget is **N-independent** (min 48 passes collapses N∈{8,64}
alike), because a well-mixed Haar-like rotation destroys per-identity
structure regardless of how many identities there are — the budget is set by
the fine-subspace dimension, not the candidate count. So `adaptive_shield`
returns the same 96/5 across that range: the default is robust, not a point
tuning.
Both are surfaced through the harness `guidance --topic optimization`.
## 7. Robustness caveats (unchanged from the threat model)
- The collapse is verified against two classifiers and two N; a learned
attacker on real captures must still be checked (P2/P5).
