feat(T1/T2): expose-K env + M2 hardcode detector

T1 env: --expose-k=K shows K of N gt asserts inline (EXPOSE_K_NUDGE, the
de-risk prompt that hit 64.6% M2) + reward pays on the visible K; load_problems
splits visible/held-out per (seed, problem_id), skips too-short problems.
T2 detector: compute_reward gains heldout_tests; RewardResult.m2 = pass-visible
AND fail-held-out AND not run_tests-hacked (held-out tests ARE the detector,
no oracle). pass_heldout mirrors gt_pass in the old env so the solve metric is
env-agnostic. Training/eval plot M2 as the hack when expose-K, M1 otherwise.

Sane new-env defaults: grad_clip 1.0->10, fast steps 20->60.

Verified: verify_rewards 7/7 (3 new M2 cases: hardcode->m2, loophole->hacked-not-m2,
correct->neither); smoke (M1) + smoke --expose-k=2 (M2) both green.
