security(agent): wire provenance/anomaly detection into the real save path

ProvenanceStore, WriteAnomalyDetector, and their check_*/verify_integrity
methods had zero callers outside their own module/tests — lib.rs only
declared the modules. The 15 injection-pattern checks, rate limiting, and
content-hash integrity verification described as shipped in ROADMAP.md
Track 5 never executed during normal library usage.

HDF5Memory::save/save_batch/save_or_update now record a MemoryProvenance
entry (content hash, inferred MemorySource, session) for every write, run
check_rate_anomaly/check_pattern_anomaly/check_source_anomaly against it,
and queue any triggered AnomalyAlert for the caller to drain via the new
take_anomaly_alerts(). save_or_update's update path additionally verifies
the existing record's content against its last recorded hash before
overwriting, catching accidental in-session corruption.

Scope notes, stated plainly rather than overclaimed:
- There is no on-disk provenance ledger (see the CLAUDE.md note added
  here) — this is session-scoped bookkeeping, not a disk-integrity
  control. open() starts the store empty; there's no historical hash to
  verify loaded records against, so "verify on load" is implemented as
  "populate the store so subsequent updates in this session are
  checkable" rather than a check against nothing.
- MemorySource is inferred from source_channel via a plain string match
  (infer_memory_source) — a heuristic for bookkeeping, not the gated
  trust-boundary construction INT-05 asks for. That remains open.
- Alerts never block a save; this only makes detection real instead of
  dead code. Whether writes should ever be blocked is a policy decision
  left to the caller/a follow-up item.
