Soul Eval Gate — The Conscience of the Training Pipeline

This module is the bridge between autolora's eval output and
tasks.py's training pipeline. It answers one question:

    "Did the candidate model preserve Timmy's soul?"

It reads eval scores, applies SOUL.md constraints, and writes
the eval_gate.json file that tasks.py checks before promoting
a trained adapter.

The key insight: an adapter that improves on tool_use but degrades
on crisis or pastoral_care is REJECTED. These are not tradeoffs.
SOUL.md §"When a Man Is Dying" is an absolute constraint.

Usage:
    # After running autolora eval:
    python soul_eval_gate.py --scores evals/v1/8b/scores.json \\
                             --baseline evals/v0-baseline/8b/scores.json \\
                             --candidate-id timmy-v1-20260330

    # Or from tasks.py:
    from soul_eval_gate import evaluate_candidate
    result = evaluate_candidate(scores_path, baseline_path, candidate_id)
