feat: round-2 bakeoff — 26b silent-stop is tool-response context size

Round 2 tested the hypothesis that 26B's silent-stop was about
write_file argument size. Result: refuted.

- Patch-mode (apply_patch instead of write_file): 26B fails identically
  at iter 6. Tool-arg size is not the cause.
- Truncation sweep on tool responses reveals the real trigger: cap at
  800 or 1200 chars → 26B PASSES (1200-cap is 8.4s, fastest of any run).
  Cap at 1600, 2000, or unlimited → 26B silent-stops with eval=4.

Revised understanding: 26B silent-stops when cumulative tool-response
context crosses a shape threshold around 1200-1600 chars per response.
Not a tool-arg bug, not a raw code-gen bug — 26B emits correct code
fine in both one-shot and short-context settings.

Production CLI agents (openclaw, open code, aider) typically truncate
tool responses by default, so this failure may not surface in them.
Custom harnesses should cap ≤1200 chars per tool response when
targeting the 26B MoE.

Updates GOTCHAS (rewritten entry with the truncation sweep table),
SYNTHESIS model-selection row, CORPUS_cli_coding_agent.md pointer,
docs/reference/bakeoff-2026-04-18.md with full Round 2 methodology
and data.

Adds harness_patch.py (apply_patch edit tool), harness_patch_truncated.py
(env-configurable TOOL_RESULT_CAP), all 7 run logs, and a
.secrets.baseline for detect-secrets false positives on JSON timestamps.
