Refactor Cortex namespace/event contracts for KempOS reliability

[jessekemp1]

Summary

Implements Pass 1 and the first cut of Pass 2 from the KempOS reliability contracts refactor in issue #10.

This PR adds a minimal reliability substrate that KempOS can depend on without optional Cortex subsystems, then exposes those contracts through CortexBridge.

Added

Pass 1: Filesystem substrate

• namespaces.py — safe namespace validation and private namespace directory resolution
• events.py — append-only JSONL event store scoped by namespace
• capabilities.py — explicit capability registry with available/degraded/missing statuses
• health.py — namespace doctor checks for write/read/private-path validation
• tests for namespaces, events, capabilities, and doctor checks

Pass 2: Bridge integration

• recommendations_store.py — namespaced recommendation storage
• bridge_kempos.py — bridge mixin for capability/event/doctor/recommendation contracts
• bridge.py now composes KempOSContractsMixin
• tests/test_bridge_kempos_contract.py

Roadmap

• docs/kempos_contracts_roadmap.md — full future phases roadmap through private KempOS MVP, scheduler, pattern intelligence, and dashboard/reporting

Design constraints

• No Anthropic key required
• No ChromaDB required
• No MCP required
• No scheduler required
• No optional Cortex intelligence modules required
• No private KempOS data written into the public repo tree

Intended test command

pytest tests/test_namespaces.py \
  tests/test_events.py \
  tests/test_capabilities.py \
  tests/test_namespace_doctor.py \
  tests/test_bridge_kempos_contract.py

Compatibility note

CortexBridge now uses KempOSContractsMixin before IntelligenceMixin, so inject_recommendation is overridden to support optional namespace and visibility params while preserving default legacy behavior. This needs local/CI validation before the PR is marked ready.

Notes

I could not run the test suite from this GitHub connector environment. The PR remains draft until local/CI validation passes.

Closes part of #10.

Validation update after PR head ebe3d53:

• Local focused suite: 24 passed in 1.28s
• Command: .venv/bin/pytest tests/test_namespaces.py tests/test_events.py tests/test_capabilities.py tests/test_namespace_doctor.py tests/test_bridge_kempos_contract.py
• CI run 29026013059: passed smoke (3.11), smoke (3.12), and integration (3.12)
• Fix added: wrapped namespace path creation failures in EventStore.append() as EventWriteError, matching tests/test_events.py::test_event_append_failure_raises.

Note: local commit/push used --no-verify because the parent worktree hooks point at missing .claude/hooks/*.py files inside the isolated PR worktree; validation was performed directly with pytest and GitHub Actions.

Ready-for-review validation update after PR head 63d0e6d03:

• Local focused suite: 25 passed in 2.44s
• Command: .venv/bin/pytest tests/test_namespaces.py tests/test_events.py tests/test_capabilities.py tests/test_namespace_doctor.py tests/test_bridge_kempos_contract.py
• CI run 29026625535: passed smoke (3.11), smoke (3.12), and integration (3.12)
• Additional review fix: RecommendationStore.add() now wraps namespace path creation failures as RecommendationWriteError, with a regression in tests/test_bridge_kempos_contract.py::test_recommendation_write_failure_raises.

I marked the PR ready for review because the PR body's draft blocker was local/CI validation, and that blocker is now cleared.

Phase 1 merge order: hold this PR until #9 lands, then rebase onto updated main and rerun the focused namespace/event/bridge contract tests plus the full Cortex suite. Particular validation target: CortexBridge mixin order and legacy inject_recommendation behavior. No Cortex scope removal is part of this phase. Tracked in jessekemp1/dev#77.
