V40 Gate 8: Ledger Storage Wallet Delivery Sync

Close the V40 synchronization gate with package-backed ledger/storage proof, UAPI no-custody delivery contract, deterministic artifact generation, focused protocol and interface tests, workflow wiring, and spec/roadmap documentation. Also keep the Gate 7 browser proof predicate green as V40 advances past Gate 7.

 - Forward planning note: V41 should focus singularly on Prompt and PromptPart implementation quality: prompts as programs. V38's inference correctness hardening and V40's testing/benchmark depth should empower V41 to examine every raw PromptPart, every composed Prompt, every benchmark, every meaningfully benchmarkable semantic part, title, template, interpolation contract, registry binding, inference callsite, and downstream parsed return type; then repartition, retitle, rewrite, catalogue, and validate them across Reading pipelines and conversational interactions.
