David Snelling 54c7c39669 feat(8.0): reserved-field enforcement — reservedFieldPolicy defaults to throw
An untyped (JS) caller that smuggles a Brainy-reserved field (confidence,
weight, subtype, visibility, service, createdBy, noun/verb, data, createdAt,
updatedAt, _rev) inside a write-path metadata bag previously got a silent
remap-or-drop — a class of bug where confidence-evolution writes no-oped for
weeks before being caught on read-back. 8.0 closes this with no silent failures.

- New BrainyConfig.reservedFieldPolicy: 'throw' | 'warn' | 'remap' (default 'throw').
  'throw' rejects the write naming every offending key + its correct write path;
  'warn' remaps with a one-shot per-key warning; 'remap' is the legacy silent path.
- Central enforceReservedPolicy gate wired into all four remap methods (add,
  update, relate, updateRelation) so live calls AND their transact()/with()
  mirrors honor it. Single-source reservedWritePath guidance shared by throw+warn.
- 'warn' now warns for EVERY reserved key (closes the gap where only
  system-managed fields warned). Dead warnDropped* helpers removed.
- Import pipeline migrated to route reserved values (confidence/weight/subtype)
  through dedicated params and strip reserved keys from extractor/customMetadata
  bags via the canonical split*MetadataRecord helpers — imports no longer trip
  the default throw.
- Tests: new reservedFieldPolicy matrix (throw/warn/remap across every write
  path + transact); remap-correctness suite reframed as opt-in 'remap'; shared
  test-factory no longer emits reserved keys in custom metadata.

/**
* @module tests/unit/brainy/update-reserved-metadata-remap
* @description Regression tests for the reserved-field metadata-bag trap,
* ported from the 7.x fix and extended to the full 8.0 contract.
*
* History: `add({metadata: {confidence}})` lifted reserved fields to their
* canonical top-level location, but `update({metadata: {confidence}})`
* silently dropped the same shape — the patch value survived the merge and
* was then clobbered by the preserve-existing spread. A production
* consumer's confidence-evolution writes no-oped for weeks before being
* caught by reading values back.
*
* These tests pin the LEGACY REMAP behavior, which in 8.0 is opt-in via
* `reservedFieldPolicy: 'remap'` (the default is `'throw'` — see the policy
* matrix in tests/unit/brainy/reserved-field-policy.test.ts). The brain in
* every test below is constructed with `reservedFieldPolicy: 'remap'` so these
* deep correctness assertions about the remap path stay exercised.
*
* Remap contract under test (every write path, entities AND relationships):
* - user-mutable reserved fields (`confidence`, `weight`, `subtype` — plus
* `service`/`createdBy` at add()/relate() time) remap from the metadata
* bag to their dedicated top-level param, with top-level winning when both
* are present;
* - system-managed reserved fields (`createdAt`, `_rev`, `noun`/`verb`,
* `data`, …) are dropped from the bag;
* - the same normalization applies to `transact()` operations and `with()`
* speculative views;
* - reads NEVER echo a reserved field inside `metadata`.
*
* TypeScript callers can't write these shapes at all (compile-time guard on
* the metadata param types — see tests/unit/types/reserved-metadata-keys.test-d.ts);
* these tests simulate untyped (JavaScript) callers, hence the `as object`
* widenings on the metadata literals.
