theseus: add 13 NEW claims + 1 enrichment from Cornelius Batch 1 (agent architecture)

Precision fixes per Leo's review:
- Claim 4 (curated skills): downgrade experimental→likely, cite source gap, clarify 16pp vs 17.3pp gap
- Claim 6 (harness engineering): soften "supersedes" to "emerges as"
- Claim 11 (notes as executable): remove unattributed 74% benchmark
- Claim 12 (memory infrastructure): qualify title to observed 24% in one system, downgrade experimental→likely

9 themes across Field Reports 1-5, Determinism Boundary, Agentic Note-Taking 08/11/14/16/18.
Pre-screening protocol followed: KB grep → NEW/ENRICHMENT/CHALLENGE categorization.

Batch extraction from Cornelius/arscontexta articles. Covers determinism boundary in agent systems — the categorical split between hook enforcement (deterministic) and instruction compliance (probabilistic). Feeds engineering acceleration work and CI gate design.

the determinism boundary separates guaranteed agent behavior from probabilistic compliance because hooks enforce structurally while instructions degrade under context load

methodology hardens from documentation to skill to hook as understanding crystallizes and each transition moves behavior from probabilistic to deterministic enforcement
