feat(auto): ledger-derived task-class inference (L1-b)

[shaun0927]

Summary

L1-b slice of #1171 — the ledger-derive substrate of #1157's L1 lane. Pattern-matches the Socratic interview's already-standardized ledger entries against the L1-a (#1173) catalog and returns one of three outcomes: single match, ambiguous, or unmatched (falls back to LIBRARY). No new LLM call, no eval set, no accuracy floor.

`derive_domain_from_ledger` runs every registered pattern function against the ledger's confirmed/defaulted/inferred entries (inactive statuses excluded) and returns a frozen `DomainInference` value:

• Single match — one `matches` predicate fired.
• Ambiguous — two or more predicates fired; the interview driver (L1-c, future PR) should ask a disambiguation question rather than silently pick.
• Unmatched — no predicate fired; falls to LIBRARY (safest completion gate) with `reason="unmatched"` for telemetry / catalog growth.

Adding a new task class = adding a `matches` function + `_PATTERN_REGISTRY` entry + unit test. ~10 LoC PR per class.

What lands

• `src/ouroboros/auto/domain_inference.py` (new): `DomainInference` frozen dataclass + 7 pattern functions + `derive_domain_from_ledger` entry point + `register_pattern` test/extension surface.
• `tests/unit/auto/test_domain_inference.py` (new): 13 tests — one positive case per class + ambiguous + unmatched + inactive-status discipline + registry-vs-enum guard.

What is NOT in this PR

• Interview-driver disambiguation hook (consumes `is_ambiguous`) — deferred to L1-c, evidence-driven.
• Seed Architect AC injection (consumes `DomainInference.single`) — L1-d, separate PR.
• Result-envelope surface — L1-e, folded into L1-d PR.

Test plan

• `uv run pytest tests/unit/auto/test_domain_inference.py -v` → 13 passed.
• `uv run pytest tests/unit/auto -q` → 905 passed (892 baseline + 13 new).
• `uv run ruff check` on touched files → clean.
• `uv run ruff format` on touched files → clean.
• `uv run mypy src/ouroboros/auto/domain_inference.py` → clean.

What Improved

• Added a deterministic DomainInference result type and task-class pattern registry.
• Covered one positive case per current TaskClass, unmatched fallback, inactive status filtering, and enum/registry parity.

Issue #N/A Requirements

Requirement	Status
Derive task class deterministically from ledger entries without an LLM call	Met
Return a single match when exactly one predicate fires	Partially met
Return ambiguous when two or more predicates fire	Not met for WEBHOOK + WEB_SERVICE overlap
Return unmatched with LIBRARY fallback when no predicates fire	Met
Exclude inactive statuses from inference	Met
Keep registry in lockstep with TaskClass enum	Met
Provide meaningful tests for newly added logic	Incomplete

Blockers

#	File:Line	Severity	Confidence	Finding
1	src/ouroboros/auto/domain_inference.py:179	High	95%	_matches_web_service suppresses itself whenever _matches_webhook fires, so a ledger with both web-service signals (HTTP response, JSON body) and webhook signals (webhook POST, stored DB row) returns a single WEBHOOK match instead of the advertised ambiguous outcome. This violates the boundary contract that every registered pattern runs independently and multi-match cases are surfaced for disambiguation, causing downstream completion gates/AC consumers to silently receive the wrong single class.

Follow-ups

#	File:Line	Priority	Confidence	Suggestion
—	—	—	—	None.

Test Coverage

• New unit coverage includes representative positives for all seven task classes, unmatched fallback, inactive entries, and registry parity.
• Missing meaningful boundary coverage for overlapping WEBHOOK/WEB_SERVICE signals; the existing ambiguity test only covers CLI + WEBHOOK, so it does not catch the cross-predicate suppression at domain_inference.py:179.
• PR check data was unavailable in the provided artifacts due GitHub API HTTP 401; I validated the blocker with a local PYTHONPATH=src python reproduction against current HEAD.

Design / Roadmap Gate

Affected-boundary reasoning: this PR adds a new classification boundary that future interview-driver, seed-AC, telemetry, and result-envelope consumers will trust as authoritative. The design says predicates are conservative and independent, with ambiguity surfaced rather than silently resolved. WEB_SERVICE currently calls _matches_webhook and negates it, embedding priority inside one predicate instead of the derive_domain_from_ledger aggregation boundary. That breaks replay/consumer semantics because identical ledger evidence can no longer represent multiple plausible classes, and future consumers reading is_single/single will have no way to recover the suppressed WEB_SERVICE signal.

Merge Recommendation

Retrospective recommendation: fix current HEAD before wiring L1-b into consumers. Remove the webhook exclusion from _matches_web_service or make any priority rule an explicit documented contract, and add a regression test proving webhook/web-service overlap returns is_ambiguous.
