test: stop leaking a container per run, and add the project's first eval

TWO FINDINGS, one from cleaning up and one from refusing to keep guessing.

THE LEAK. `./scripts/test.sh` left three containers running every time — 289 had
accumulated. The cause was a comment that lied: `warm_pool.rs` said "Shutdown
destroys assigned AND pooled sandboxes", while `SandboxManager::shutdown` drains
the POOL only. Its own doc says why — assigned sandboxes persist deliberately so
a redeploy can reuse them, and production reaps the strays with
`reconcile_orphans` at boot. A test has no next boot, so each one that assigned a
sandbox simply left it running. The three tests now call the `release_agent` that
already existed, and the comment says what the code does. Verified: 0 leaked,
where the same run leaked 3 before.

THE EVAL. The independent judge failed the same correct phase FOUR times, each
time citing a different invented requirement. I blamed the condition's wording
twice and rewrote it twice — the second rewrite made it worse, by naming a
command a tool-using judge then ran in its own container. Then a control showed
the same model answering MET to the same question asked directly, and a third
wording test showed a STRICTER phrasing scoring UNMET. Prose wording was not the
variable. Continuing to iterate would have been fitting the fixture to noise.

`scripts/judge-eval.sh` measures the thing instead: five cases drawn from real
incidents, each with an answer a careful human would agree with. This project has
557 tests and had zero evals, which is backwards — a test pins OUR code, an eval
pins the MODEL, and the model changes without us touching anything.

The result is why it was worth building:

  glm-4.7          4/5 — wrong on kernel-ok: says UNMET when MET
  kimi-for-coding  4/5 — wrong on goodhart:  says MET when UNMET

Identical scores, opposite failure modes. GLM fails good work; KIMI passes work
where 14 assertions were deleted and the failing module removed to make a suite
"pass" — the exact incident the verifying judge was built after. Swapping the
validator to Kimi because it passes our failing case would have installed a
rubber stamp. Keep GLM: a judge that is too strict costs a re-run, a judge that
is too lenient costs the guarantee.

The eval also caught a bug in itself before I trusted it: Kimi answers with a
`thinking` block first, and a 160-token budget was consumed entirely by it, which
the harness scored as NO-ANSWER. An eval that misreads a model is worse than no
eval, so it now reads thinking blocks as a fallback and has room to answer.

557 tests pass, clippy clean.
