fix: exclude __words__ keyword index from corruption detection and getStats()

The __words__ keyword index stores 50-5000 entries per entity (one per
word), which inflated avg entries/entity well above the corruption
threshold of 100. This caused:

1. validateConsistency() to falsely detect corruption on every startup,
   triggering unnecessary clearAllIndexData() + rebuild() cycles
2. getStats() to log false "Metadata index may be corrupted" warnings
   and report inflated totalEntries/totalIds stats

Both methods now skip __words__ when counting, so stats and health
checks reflect metadata fields only (noun, type, createdAt, etc.).
Keyword search is unaffected since the __words__ field index itself
is not modified.

### v4.0.0 Specific Best Practices
### Specific Best Practices
8. **Always include `noun` field** when creating/modifying NounMetadata:
```typescript
const metadata: NounMetadata = {
noun: 'thing', // REQUIRED!
yourField: 'value'
}
```
```typescript
const metadata: NounMetadata = {
noun: 'thing', // REQUIRED!
yourField: 'value'
}
```
9. **Use `verb` property** not `type` when working with relationships:
```typescript
// ✅ Correct
if (verb.verb === 'relatedTo') { ... }
```typescript
// ✅ Correct
if (verb.verb === 'relatedTo') { ... }
// ❌ Wrong (v3.x pattern)
if (verb.type === 'relatedTo') { ... }
```
// ❌ Wrong (v3.x pattern)
if (verb.type === 'relatedTo') { ... }
```
10. **Access metadata correctly** from storage:
```typescript
// ✅ Correct - metadata is already structured
const nounType = noun.metadata.noun
```typescript
// ✅ Correct - metadata is already structured
const nounType = noun.metadata.noun
// ⚠️ Fallback pattern for robustness
const nounType = noun.metadata?.noun || 'thing'
```
// ⚠️ Fallback pattern for robustness
const nounType = noun.metadata?.noun || 'thing'
```
11. **Respect the two-file storage pattern** - Don't mix vector and metadata operations:
```typescript
// ✅ Good - Separate concerns
await storage.saveNoun(noun)
await storage.saveMetadata(noun.id, metadata)
```typescript
// ✅ Good - Separate concerns
await storage.saveNoun(noun)
await storage.saveMetadata(noun.id, metadata)
// ❌ Bad - Mixing concerns
await storage.saveNounWithEverything(combinedData)
