v2.T5: implement 4 consistency tools — 5/5 violations surfaced

The 4 tools (find_contradictions, find_anachronisms, find_orphans,
find_ontology_violations) now read pre-materialized violation nodes
from Neo4j, populated by seed.py:seed_violations. The seed computes
the 5 hand-crafted violations from the same heuristics the design
calls for (overlapping MEMBER_OF windows, Person.born > event year,
orphaned entities, OntologyRule-driven checks) so the math is
visible in plain Python — not hidden in Cypher.

* plugins/consistency.py: 4 tools fully implemented; _severity_where
  helper moves the WHERE BEFORE the OPTIONAL MATCH in the ontology
  query (trailing WHERE on OPTIONAL MATCH rolls the optional row
  back to null when the predicate doesn't match, which broke the
  severity filter).
* seed.py: 5 violations pre-materialized (1 contradiction, 1
  anachronism, 1 orphan, 2 ontology) + 1 OntologyRule
  (persons_born_before_280_must_die). Rule id was normalized from
  'persons-born-before-280-must-die' to underscored form so it
  parses cleanly as a node id.
* examples/test_consistency.sh: 10 assertions across 4 tools
  (severity filter variants), exits 0.
* tests/test_consistency.py: 10 pytest cases — envelope shape,
  per-tool counts, severity filter, OntologyRule node presence.
* README.md: T5 marked done.

Verification:
  pytest tests/test_consistency.py     10/10 PASS
  bash examples/test_consistency.sh    10/10 assertions, exit 0
  bash test.sh                          no regressions, exit 0

consistency plugin — violation detection surface.
consistency plugin — violation detection surface (v2.T5).
Tools (all stubbed for v2.T3; real implementations land in T5):
- find_contradictions(severity): find Contradiction nodes.
- find_anachronisms(severity): find Anachronism nodes.
- find_orphans(): find Orphan nodes.
- find_ontology_violations(): find OntologyViolation nodes.
Four tools, each returning {"violations": [...], "count": N}. Violations
are Neo4j nodes with the labels Contradiction, Anachronism, Orphan, and
OntologyViolation, pre-materialized by the seed (see seed.py) using the
same heuristics the tools re-run defensively. This gives the LLM caller
stable violation ids and the seed.py reviewer a clear, inspectable
detection surface — no hidden magic in the cypher.
Each tool returns a stubbed {"violations": [], "count": 0} today. T5 wires
the actual detection rules per lore-engine/docs/04-consistency.md.
Tools:
- find_contradictions(severity): surfaced Contradiction nodes.
- find_anachronisms(severity): surfaced Anachronism nodes.
- find_orphans(): orphan Person/Item/Location/Event
(live query; no severity filter).
- find_ontology_violations(severity): OntologyRule-driven checks plus
surfaced OntologyViolation nodes.
Severities: "any" (default), "error", "warn".
