test(rl): B-6 invariant regression test — asymmetric Wiener-α / Bayesian shrinkage

GPU-oracle test (per `feedback_no_cpu_test_fallbacks`) validating:

1. Cold-start EMA values match spec defaults (avg_w=1, avg_l=1, wr_ema=0.5
   from B-3 cold_start bootstrap)
2. ISV slot 721/722/723 defaults exposed in diag (α_slow_min=0.001,
   n_full_threshold=30000, cv_gain=1.0)
3. Asymmetric direction holds at cold-start: avg_loss EMA grows ~50× faster
   than avg_win EMA per equivalent observation (because α_fast/α_slow_min
   = 0.05/0.001 = 50). Verified locally: avg_l=$425 vs avg_w=$4.36 at
   train_end (100× empirical ratio — matches expected math under volatile
   batch=16 data)
4. Boundary reset: at eval[1], avg_w=avg_l=1.0 and wr_ema=0.5 (cold_start
   resumed via reset_session_state)

Test result locally:
  cold-start: avg_w=1 avg_l=1 wr_ema=0.5
  ISV slots:  alpha_slow_min=0.001 trust_full=30000 cv_gain=1
  train_end:  avg_w=4.36 avg_l=425.39 dones=131
  eval[1]:    avg_w=1.00 avg_l=1.00 wr_ema=0.500 dones=0
  TEST PASS

//! B-6 invariant tests for ISV-driven adaptive asymmetric Wiener-α.
//!
//! Validates the Bayesian shrinkage design from
//! `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-01-ema-asymmetric-trust-with-cv-gain.md`:
//!
//! 1. **Cold-start asymmetry direction**: at the start of training,
//! cum_dones=0 → trust=0 → α_slow_eff = α_slow_min. The avg_loss EMA
//! (fast-up direction) admits losses ~50× faster than avg_win admits
//! wins. wr_ema can drop quickly but rises slowly.
//!
//! 2. **Boundary reset**: `reset_session_state` zeros cum_dones AND the
//! cold_start values for the EMAs (avg_win=1, avg_loss=1, wr_ema=0.5).
//! First eval row reflects these bootstrap values.
//!
//! 3. **Schema parity**: diag emits the three new ISV slots
//! (`ema_alpha_slow_min`, `ema_trust_full_threshold`, `ema_cv_gain`).
//!
//! Per `feedback_no_cpu_test_fallbacks`: this test runs the GPU oracle
//! binary end-to-end. No CPU reference implementation; the kernel's
//! documented math is the oracle.
//!
//! Run with:
//! `cargo test -p ml-alpha --test ema_asymmetric_trust_invariants -- --ignored --nocapture`
