chore: run each client's test suite once in local:gate, not twice (#2341)

`local:gate` ran every client's unit suite bare inside `validate` and
again instrumented inside `coverage` — ~80s of a ~370s run re-executing
exactly the files the coverage pass runs a few minutes later. CI pays
nothing for that duplication because its two jobs run in parallel; the
gate runs serially, so it paid all of it.

The gate's first stage is now `local:validate`: the same `validate:guards`
and `validate:core`, then each client's new `check` script (`format:check`
+ `lint` + `typecheck` + `build`) instead of its `validate`, which is now
literally `check && test`. `npm run validate` and both CI jobs are
unchanged; `local:validate` sits in the `local:` namespace so the
workflow guard keeps it out of CI by construction.

The "strict superset" claim in AGENTS.md is reworded to what is now
true — every CI *check*, not every CI *invocation* — with the reasoning:
`@vitest/coverage-v8` reads V8's precise-coverage profiler and rewrites
no source, so the instrumented pass runs byte-identical code and is only
slower, the stricter direction for the failure class this repo sees.

Measured on the same worktree: 370s -> 262s wall (EXIT=0 both), the
four removed legs summing to 78.5s in the baseline run's own profile.
