robbond b1c69e9303 experiment: audit unknown relationship population
Experiment 48 passively audited whether real graph updates populate usable
unknown relationships. Three production paths inspected:

- buildInitialGraph: does NOT populate dependsOn/affects/parentId (only edges)
- buildEmergentReasoningUnknown: DOES populate dependsOn and parentId
- buildCompositeUnknownChildren: DOES populate parentId

One test file created (16 tests, all pass). Diagnostic confirms shared-anchor
coherence is structurally supportable through Path 2 only, requiring at least
two active unknowns with shared references. Conclusion: Insufficient Data for
the initial-build path; production code correctly populates fields in emergent
path but requires comparable observations to trigger.
