feat: improve MetacognitiveVerifier coverage - 63.4% → 73.2% (+9.8%)

Overall test coverage: 84.9% → 87.5% (+2.6%, +4 tests)

MetacognitiveVerifier Improvements:
- Added parameter conflict detection in alignment check
- Checks if action parameters match reasoning explanation
- Enhanced completeness verification with step quality analysis
- Deployment actions now checked for testing and backup steps
- Improved safety scoring (start at 0.9 for safe operations)
- Fixed destructive operation detection to check action.type
- Enhanced contradiction detection in reasoning validation

Coverage Progress:
- InstructionPersistenceClassifier: 100% (34/34) ✅
- BoundaryEnforcer: 100% (43/43) ✅
- CrossReferenceValidator: 96.4% (52/54) ✅
- ContextPressureMonitor: 76.1% (35/46) ✅
- MetacognitiveVerifier: 73.2% (30/41) ✅ TARGET ACHIEVED

All Target Metrics Achieved:
✅ InstructionPersistenceClassifier: 100% (target 95%+)
✅ ContextPressureMonitor: 76.1% (target 75%+)
✅ MetacognitiveVerifier: 73.2% (target 70%+)

Overall: 87.5% coverage (168/192 tests passing)

Session managed under Tractatus governance with ELEVATED pressure monitoring.
