LiveArtifactRepository uses a hot subscription that does not replay history,
so its cache was always empty when verifyProduces ran immediately after emit.
Fix by reading directly from EventStore (synchronous) instead of the repository.
Also emit ArtifactCreatedEvent for non-llmEmitted produces slots after stage
validation passes, and fix tool parameter decoding to use JsonPrimitive.content
so escape sequences like \n are resolved rather than passed as literal backslash-n.
- SessionOrchestrator: wire T2/T3/T4 approval gate before tool execution;
emit OrchestrationPausedEvent/ApprovalRequestedEvent, await decision,
return rejection as ERROR context entry so LLM sees the denial;
propagate tool ERROR entries as StageExecutionResult.Failure
- SandboxedToolExecutor: remove dead code and simplify
- InfrastructureModule: minor wiring cleanup
- LlamaCppInferenceProvider / build.gradle: related build fixes
New core:artifacts-store interface + infrastructure/artifacts-cas
implementation: segment files + SQLite index, Blake3 hashing,
group-commit fsync via flushBefore, recovery tail-scan, manual
compactor, and oldest-first disk-cap evictor.
Inference events now carry promptArtifactId / responseArtifactId;
orchestrators put bytes before emitting. SqliteEventStore wraps
its txn in artifactStore.flushBefore so segment data is fsynced
before the event commit, making the crash window non-corrupting
(TailScanner re-indexes orphan tail records on reopen).
Compactor and evictor are mutually exclusive via maintenanceMutex.
Step 9 (cloud sync) deferred to a later epic.
