feat(phase-1): D10 P1 hardening — providers.enabled wiring + real streaming + spawn timeout

Folds in three production-blocking defects from external Codex review
round-3 of Phase 1 (D5+D6+D8+D9 already merged). Without these, OLP
returns 503 on every request even when `npm start` succeeds, streams
arrive as a single buffered burst after the spawn completes, and hung
CLIs block the engine forever despite ADR 0004 declaring spawn-timeout
a hard trigger.

P1.1 providers.enabled config wiring (ADR 0002 § Disable model):
- loadFallbackConfigSync() returns tri-field {chains, soft_triggers,
  providersEnabled}; server.mjs reads _startupConfig.providersEnabled
  and passes to loadProviders() at startup
- Empty / missing config → 0 enabled providers → 503 no_enabled_provider
  (matches v0.1 0-Enabled posture per ALIGNMENT.md § Provider Inventory)
- __setProvidersEnabled / __resetProvidersEnabled test seams; in-place
  Map mutation preserves existing direct-mutation patterns in Suite 13

P1.2 Real SSE streaming on single-hop cache-miss (ADR 0003 entry adapter
pattern, OpenAI /v1/chat/completions stream=true contract):
- New handleChatCompletions branch when ir.stream === true && chain.length
  === 1 && !bypassCache && !preCheckHit
- for await (const irChunk of provider.spawn(...)) writes SSE per chunk
  via res.write(irChunkToOpenAISSE(...)); accumulates streamedChunks for
  cacheStore.set on stop
- First-chunk rule preserved: error-before-first-chunk → sendError(502);
  error-after-first-chunk → truncated res.end(), no fallback
- Multi-hop chains (chain.length > 1) continue to use buffered
  executeWithFallback to keep fallback safety semantics

P1.3 Spawn timeout hard trigger (ADR 0004 § Trigger taxonomy bullet 4):
- SPAWN_TIMEOUT added to PROVIDER_ERROR_CODES (lib/providers/base.mjs)
  and HARD_TRIGGER_CODES (lib/fallback/engine.mjs)
- All three plugins (anthropic.mjs / codex.mjs / mistral.mjs) wrap drain
  loop with setTimeout (default 600_000ms, configurable via
  hints.maxSpawnTimeMs); on fire: proc.kill('SIGTERM') + reject pending
  drain promise with ProviderError(..., 'SPAWN_TIMEOUT')
- Timer cleared in finally; resolveNext/rejectNext atomically nulled in
  push() + timer-fire path to prevent late-fire double-settle

Tests 277 → 288 (+11). Suite 14 (4 providers.enabled), Suite 15
(3 streaming cache-miss real-time, including arrival-count >= 2
assertion that architecturally proves real streaming), Suite 16
(4 spawn timeout, including 2-hop chain advancement from timed-out
primary). 288/288 pass on Node 20.20.2 + Node 25.8.0.

Authorities:
- ADR 0002 § Disable model — config toggle, not plugin-removal
  https://github.com/dtzp555-max/olp/blob/main/docs/adr/0002-plugin-architecture.md
- ADR 0003 § Translation direction model — entry adapter for await pattern
  https://github.com/dtzp555-max/olp/blob/main/docs/adr/0003-intermediate-representation.md
- ADR 0004 § Trigger taxonomy + § Fallback safety (first-chunk rule)
  https://github.com/dtzp555-max/olp/blob/main/docs/adr/0004-fallback-engine.md
- OpenAI /v1/chat/completions stream=true (server-sent events,
  data: {chunk} per delta, terminator data: [DONE])
  https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat/streaming

Reviewer (Iron Rule 10): fresh-context opus, independent of drafter.
Verdict: APPROVE_WITH_MINOR. Folded the one cheap minor before commit
(Suite 15a arrival-count assertion strengthened from chunks.length > 0
to arrivalTimestamps.length >= 2 — the prior assertion would have
admitted a buffered impl). Two remaining non-blocking notes deferred:
optional writeHead deferral (low value; single-hop guard makes pre-
content 200 + empty body safe), and version bump (Phase 1 ships as
v0.1.0 aggregate when D11–D16 land).

+## Unreleased
+
+### Phase 1 — Provider plugins + cache + fallback engine + P1 hardening
+
+- **D10 (P1 round-3 hardening from external Codex review).** Three production-blocking defects from the Phase 1 round-3 review folded in:
+  - **`providers.enabled` config wired through `loadProviders()`** (ADR 0002 § Disable model). `loadFallbackConfigSync()` now returns a tri-field shape `{ chains, soft_triggers, providersEnabled }`; `server.mjs` reads `_startupConfig.providersEnabled` at startup and passes it to `loadProviders()`. Empty / missing config → 0 enabled providers → `503 no_enabled_provider`, matching the v0.1 0-Enabled posture. `__setProvidersEnabled` / `__resetProvidersEnabled` test seams added.
+  - **Real SSE streaming on single-hop cache-miss** (ADR 0003 entry adapter pattern). New `handleChatCompletions` branch when `ir.stream === true && chain.length === 1 && !bypassCache && !preCheckHit`: `for await (const irChunk of provider.spawn(...))` writes SSE per chunk via `res.write(irChunkToOpenAISSE(...))`, accumulates chunks for `cacheStore.set` on completion. First-chunk rule preserved (error-before-first-chunk → `sendError(502)`; error-after-first-chunk → truncated `res.end()`). Multi-hop chains still buffer (`executeWithFallback` path) to maintain fallback safety.
+  - **Spawn timeout hard trigger** (ADR 0004 § Trigger taxonomy bullet 4). `SPAWN_TIMEOUT` added to `PROVIDER_ERROR_CODES` and `HARD_TRIGGER_CODES`. All three provider plugins (`anthropic.mjs` / `codex.mjs` / `mistral.mjs`) wrap their spawn drain loop with `setTimeout` (default 600_000ms, configurable via `hints.maxSpawnTimeMs`); on fire, `proc.kill('SIGTERM')` + reject pending drain promise with `ProviderError(..., 'SPAWN_TIMEOUT')`. Timer cleared in `finally` block; `resolveNext` / `rejectNext` atomically nulled to prevent late-fire double-settle.
+- **Test suite: 277 → 288 (+11).** New Suite 14 (providers.enabled wiring, 4 tests), Suite 15 (streaming cache-miss real-time, 3 tests including arrival-count assertion proving real streaming architecturally), Suite 16 (spawn timeout, 4 tests including full 2-hop chain advancement from timed-out primary).
