Adds shapecurve.is_feasible() (a non-mutating refactor of solve()'s check
phase) and a shapecurve_prune flag composing the DP's exact feasible/
infeasible verdict with operators.predicted_shape_fails' existing heuristic
prune: DP-feasible vetoes a heuristic prune outright; DP-infeasible only
hard-prunes when the incumbent already has zero total fails (exact, since
infeasible proves the shape-fail floor is >=1); otherwise defers unchanged
to today's heuristic threshold. Conservative by design since a wrong prune
is unrecoverable.
Validated 0/400 false negatives across two structurally distinct plots
(harbor-house-l0 + a newly-added programme-house sweep, the first genuinely
non-rectangular plot this DP has been checked against). The real
driver.search A/B on harbor-house-l0 measured NULL (byte-identical off/on)
for a root-caused, pre-existing reason: predicted_shape_fails rarely
triggers organically at this scale, so neither new branch had an opening to
fire -- not a defect in this change. Full writeup: DESIGN.md §37.5.
