Rezolv 590edec7a7 fix(#3956): require positive evidence for verify artifacts/key-links pass (#4004)
* fix(#3956): require positive evidence for verify artifacts/key-links pass

An all-string or path-less must_haves.artifacts / key_links block is
item-by-item skipped, leaving zero checked results, yet the pass verdict
was computed as `passed === results.length` (0 === 0), so all_passed /
all_verified read true with status valid and exit 0: a silent false GREEN
over zero acceptance evidence.

Add a positive-evidence floor (results.length > 0) to both verdicts,
mirroring the no-vacuous-pass rule at src/uat-predicate.cts. A well-formed
block, the fully-empty-block error, the parser's string tolerance, and
key-links pending (#1202) semantics are all unchanged.

Governing: ADR-3473 section 8 / 37C (absence, emptiness and failure must
not encode as success) and Decision 3 (failure is a value).

* chore(#3956): add changeset for verify vacuous-pass fix

* test(#3956): add mixed-block coverage and correct the key-links vacuous-pass comment

Addresses review on #4004:
- Correct the cmdVerifyKeyLinks positive-evidence-floor comment: only bare-string
  items are continue-skipped; a from:-less object is NOT skipped (it falls through
  to a verified:false hard failure), so it was never part of the vacuous-pass
  surface. The prior comment overclaimed symmetry with the artifacts side.
- Add a mixed-block regression test per verb (one bare-string prose bullet + one
  well-formed entry): the string is skipped, results.length === 1 > 0, and the
  verdict follows the single real entry — pinning that the floor does not
  over-reject a partial block.
- Tighten the changeset wording to match (all-bare-string, not "no path:/from: key").

`gsd-tools verify artifacts` and `verify key-links` no longer report a phase as fully verified when its `must_haves` block was authored entirely as prose bullets. A block whose items are all bare strings (no checkable `path:`/`from:` entry) is now reported as `invalid` with `total: 0` instead of a silent all-passed GREEN over zero checks, so a phase with no verifiable acceptance evidence can no longer read green. A block that mixes a prose bullet with a real entry is unaffected — the string is skipped and the verdict follows the checkable entry. (#3956)
