nbs: steering_demo.py -- shared marimo notebook, all 7 methods + comparison table

One generically-named notebook (replaces persona-named ones): loads model+lens once,
builds all 7 steering vectors (word/persona_vector/topk/soft/pinv/meandiff/random-null)
with the j-thoughts lens readout, then loads precomputed results and shows a per-method
generation dropdown + comparison table.

Heavy 7-method sweep (~18 min) runs headless via scripts/scratch/run_steering_demo.py ->
artifacts/steering_demo_results.json, because marimos single-threaded kernel makes a long
in-cell compute un-monitorable (any status poll interrupts it). Notebook loads the JSON so
it renders instantly. Result (dilemma, P(YES=lie)): flat ~0.03-0.14 at every methods
coherent edge vs 0.107 baseline; persona_pinv widest window (C*+ = +1.19). Includes the
GPT-5.6-terra comment review (docs/reviews/).

"""Headless compute of the steering_demo results (all 7 methods, full config) so the
marimo notebook can load them instantly instead of running an 18-min cell in-kernel
(marimo's single-threaded kernel makes a long cell un-monitorable without interrupting).
Writes artifacts/steering_demo_results.json = {"summary": [...], "detail": {name: [...]}}.
Same vecs/dilemma/config as nbs/steering_demo.py. (Claude, for wassname)
