feat(causal): native causal profiling behind smarm-causal (RFC 007 v1)
causal_site! scoped site guards per actor slot, progress! throughput points, and a Coz-style virtual-speedup engine hooked into maybe_preempt's amortized cold block: target-site samples grow a global delay ledger; bystanders spin-absorb their debt at the next causal check, with timeslice extension so injected delay is not charged against the slice. Resume credit (Coz's blocked-thread rule) is gated on a causal_parked slot bit set only by a real park: crediting on every resume made any yield-cadence actor delay-immune and every experiment inert (found live on a 24-core run — dead-flat deltas across all sites). Report normalization uses a measured TSC frequency (~50ms calibration on first use) instead of the crate-wide 3 GHz assumption, which uniformly inflated impact numbers on a 3.7 GHz box. impact_pct() is the machine-readable form of the summary for programmatic checks. examples/causal_pipeline.rs burns fixed *work* (calibrated LCG loop), not fixed wall time — a timed busy-wait absorbs injected delay into its own budget and reads as a no-op. Self-checking: exits nonzero if causal separation fails; skips the verdict below 4 cores. Validated on a 24-core box: reserve (true bottleneck) +29.3%@25/+83.5%@50; serialize and background-compaction ~0%. Known v1 gaps (jar): timer-heap deadlines unshifted, no-check!/no-alloc actors undelayable, multi-scheduler coherence best-effort Relaxed, off-CPU blame punted, Instant::now() uncorrected. Zero-cost with the feature off; clippy -D warnings clean both ways; full suite green with and without smarm-causal.
