form 2 as architecture: remove arity-4 interpretation constructor (vehaya §3.2)

Closes vehaya.md §6 item 2 for the SECOND avodah-zarah form.

With this commit, all three avodah zarah forms are defended at
BOTH the runtime layer and the architectural layer:
  Form 1 — closed by b136c75 (no public model_interface surface)
  Form 2 — closed by THIS commit (no empty-trace constructor)
  Form 3 — closed by 0e3fe4a (machtzit_ha_shekel + no_tracking_logger)

TORAH ANCHORS (verified fresh against L1):

  Vayikra 10:1 — וַיַּקְרִיבוּ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֵשׁ זָרָה אֲשֶׁר לֹא
    צִוָּה אֹתָם.
    "They offered before YHVH strange fire WHICH HE HAD NOT
    COMMANDED THEM." The disqualifier is provenance: not
    commanded-derivable. Sincere output without command-derivation
    is eish zarah, even when produced by authorized actors with
    authorized materials (Nadav and Avihu were kohanim; the fire
    was real fire; the qetoret was real qetoret).

  Vayikra 10:2 — וַתֵּצֵא אֵשׁ מִלִּפְנֵי יְהוָה וַתֹּאכַל אוֹתָם.
    Fire from YHVH consumed them. Immediate consequence — the
    failure mode is not survivable.

  Shemot 32:1 — קוּם עֲשֵׂה־לָנוּ אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר יֵלְכוּ לְפָנֵינוּ.
    The people demand elohim that go before them — substitute for
    source-experience when the actual source (Moshe) is delayed.
    Not direct rebellion (we want a different god) but
    substitution-of-experience.

  Shemot 32:5 — וַיִּבֶן מִזְבֵּחַ … חַג לַיהוָה מָחָר.
    Aaron labels the calf "a festival to YHVH." Re-labeling does
    not repair severed provenance. Calling output "to YHVH"
    doesn't make it from YHVH.

  Shemot 32:24 — וָאַשְׁלִכֵהוּ בָאֵשׁ וַיֵּצֵא הָעֵגֶל הַזֶּה.
    Aaron's "out came this calf" — the bypass shape: claiming
    output emerged BY ITSELF, without operator agency. The system
    that says "the output just happened, I didn't make it" is the
    calf shape.

THE ARCHITECTURAL COMMITMENT:

construct_interpretation/4 — the no-coupling-trace variant — is
REMOVED entirely. The export list no longer mentions it; the
function definition is gone.

Why this is the right shape:

  - Vayikra 10:1: output must be commanded-derivable. The
    coupling_trace IS the command trace. Constructing
    interpretation/6 with empty coupling_trace is the bypass shape.
  - Shemot 32:24: nothing emerges by itself. Production code paths
    can no longer build interpretations by handing the constructor
    "this Mitzvot list, this Verses list, give me the
    interpretation" — they MUST also hand the Couplings (the trace
    of which L1 facts were consulted).
  - The arity-5 constructor remains, taking a Couplings argument.
    Production callers go through interpret/2, which always
    supplies real Couplings from find_relevant_*_traced/3.

Test code that needs an empty-trace interpretation can still
construct the interpretation/6 term DIRECTLY (visible bypass,
deliberate, surfaces in code review). The high-level constructor
shortcut is the thing that's removed.

CHANGED:

  talmudic_engine/src/reasoning/interpret.pl
    - Removed construct_interpretation/4 from the module's export
      list. Added Form-2 architectural-commitment comment naming
      vehaya §3.2 and the Vayikra 10:1 anchor.
    - Removed the arity-4 function definition entirely (it was
      dead code — nothing called it via the export — and dead code
      that LOOKS like a bypass surface is itself a Form 2 hazard).
    - Updated the construct_interpretation/5 docstring to name the
      removal and explain why test code now must construct
      interpretation/6 directly when an empty trace is desired.

  talmudic_engine/src/halt/avodah_zarah.pl
    Form 2 docstring rewritten to name the TWO-LAYER defense:
    runtime (this file's halt_check_golden_calf/2) AND
    architectural (interpret.pl's removal of arity-4). Cites
    Vayikra 10:1 and Shemot 32:24.

  talmudic_engine/test/halt_test.pl
    + interpret_no_arity_4_constructor suite (2 tests):
      - arity-5 constructor IS exported (production path verified)
      - arity-4 constructor is NOT exported (the architectural
        commitment — calling it through the module surface fails)

  vav_pipeline/lib/vav_pipeline/doorpost.ex
    @expected_hash updated:
      bf3d3433… (post-Form-1-rewrite of avodah_zarah.pl)
    → 8eb378964f202522f60cc960a3002f6da2e5028538595400de906a9510b3bbf6
    The avodah_zarah.pl docstring change is a deliberate spec
    update; per the operator discipline (Doorpost moduledoc), the
    hash update commits TOGETHER with the spec change in the same
    commit. Third demonstration of the discipline working.

VEHAYA CHECKLIST STATE:

  Item 1 (category/threshold separation in code)         pending
  Item 2 (three avodah zarah as architecture):
    Form 1 — closed (b136c75)
    Form 2 — CLOSED (this commit)
    Form 3 — closed (0e3fe4a)
    All three forms now defended at BOTH layers — runtime check
    AND architectural commitment. Vehaya §3.2 closed in full for
    the three avodah zarah.
  Item 3 (doorpost-text identity)                        closed (3f47496)
  Item 4 (lo tosif discipline operationalized)           partial
  Item 5 (return vs. restoration)                        pending
  Item 6 (keep the source external)                      partial
  Item 7 (substrate-openness articulated)                pending
  Item 8 (userMemories as threshold inscription)         pending

Tests:
  - talmudic_engine: halt_test 49/49 (was 47; +2 architectural).
                     Full suite 214/214 (across 6 test files).
  - vav_pipeline:    405 passed, 0 failures, 35 excluded
                     (Doorpost test sees new hash and verifies)
  - korban_processor: unchanged (no Python touched)
