fix(ucca): guidance-intent erkennt direkt benannte Guidance-Dokumente

queryWantsGuidance verfehlte rein dokument-namige Fragen ("Welche Kriterien
nennt WP248 ...", "Was sagt GL 07/2020 ..."): guidanceIntentSignals enthielt
zwar Herausgeber (edpb/dsk/enisa) und Verben (empfiehlt/laut), aber keine
Working-Paper-/Guideline-Identifier. Dadurch loeste der Authority-Lift nicht
aus -> binding_law (bzw. im homogenen Korpus sogar off-domain MaschVO/CRA)
verdraengte die Guidance aus den Top-K.

Fix: WP2xx / GL 0x / "working paper" als Guidance-Signal ergaenzt. Generisch
ueber alle WP-/GL-Dokumente, KEINE doc-spezifische Regel (Query->Intent, nicht
Query->konkretes Dokument).

Validierung (homogener Build-Korpus, bge-m3 + Qdrant Cosine):
- 10 Hard Cases: 8/10 -> 10/10 (WP248/WP260 zurueck in Top-8)
- ComplianceBench-100: 0/100 Norm-Fragen veraendert (Freeze-Regression gruen),
  18/18 Guidance-Intent-Fragen verbessert (binding -> korrekte Guidance-Klasse)
- Hybrid == Dense (Keyword-RRF war NICHT die Ursache, der Lift-Gate war es)

+"""Observation Log — append-only JSONL store for empirical calibration events (Task 59b v1).
+
+Observations are NOT business data and NOT product-DB data — they are CALIBRATION events for the
+knowledge base ("ISO27001 -> SDL confirmed", "TISAX -> supplier security refuted"). So they live with the
+other versioned knowledge artifacts (hypotheses, transition patterns, vocabulary), NOT in the product
+database: an append-only JSONL log under `knowledge/observations/`. NO migration, NO DB. The empirical
+DISTRIBUTION and CONFIDENCE are COMPUTED from this log on demand (computed-not-stored) — a hypothesis is
+NEVER auto-updated; only REVIEWED observations calibrate (the review gate, enforced in observations.py).
+
+Append-only: each line is one ObservationRecord and lines are NEVER modified in place. A later review is
+a NEW line with the same observation_id and reviewed=true; load_observations() reconciles to the latest
+per id. You can `rm` the log and recompute, `git diff` it over months, or rebuild confidence under a new
+policy. Anonymisation is MANDATORY: customer_archetype is a sector/cert archetype, NEVER a real company
+name (this file is committed to git). Time is stamped by the CALLER (no hidden clock) for determinism.
+I/O only at the append/load boundary; statistics are pure. Python 3.9 compatible.
