mavend: run the persona checks before she speaks (V-399)

The checks stay in the eval package and the daemon calls three of them:
feminine, address, and a new leaked-reasoning test. No retry — it doubles
the latency on the turn that is already going badly, and on the nudge path
the moment has passed. A failure falls back to the deterministic floor and
is logged with the whole rejected text and counted by check name.

hisgender is deliberately not run: the simulator showed it rejecting
"записала, что ты выпил воды", which is her own correct self-reference.
