rust: inert SQLite scaffold for audit events (Phase 1 smallest slice)

Follow-up to the v1.3.0 release's Rust migration assessment
(docs/RUST_MIGRATION_ASSESSMENT.md). Adds lib/src/store/audit.rs
(rusqlite, bundled SQLite, WAL mode, schema-versioned, idempotent
migration-from-JSON) with a TypeScript bridge
(app/src/native-sqlite-store.ts) - built, tested through the real addon,
and deliberately NOT wired into audit-log-store.ts's live path yet, per
the assessment's own rollback plan (ship inert, cut over behind a flag
later).

Also fixes a real build issue this surfaced: adding rusqlite broke
'cargo test' linking for the whole crate (undefined references to
napi's own C-ABI symbols, normally supplied by the Node process at
runtime) because this crate had napi's 'dyn-symbols' feature off.
Re-verified the built addon still loads correctly under Node after
turning it on.

+
+### Phase 1 — smallest vertical slice
+
+An inert SQLite scaffold for audit events: `lib/src/store/audit.rs`
+(`rusqlite`, bundled SQLite, WAL mode, a `schema_version` table, an
+`audit_events` table, and `open`/`migrate-from-JSON`/`count`/`verify`
+functions), exposed via N-API, with a TypeScript bridge
+(`app/src/native-sqlite-store.ts`). **Deliberately not wired into
+`audit-log-store.ts`'s live read/write path** — nothing in the running app
+calls this yet; it exists to prove the pattern (schema versioning,
+idempotent migration-from-JSON safe to rerun, transactional batch inserts,
+`PRAGMA integrity_check`-based corruption detection) works end-to-end
+through the real built addon before committing to an actual cutover, per
+the brief's own rollback requirement (ship behind a flag, default off).
+
+9 new Rust tests (idempotent open, schema-version-recorded-once, WAL-mode
+active, migration correctness/idempotency/partial-rerun/no-duplicate-rows,
+a rejected malformed batch leaving zero rows behind — one bad event fails
+the whole transaction rather than partially migrating), 5 new TypeScript
+tests (full round trip through the actual built `.node` addon, rejected
+malformed batch, and the addon-unavailable throw path), all verified via
+the real built binary (`npm run build:debug` + a `require()` smoke test),
+not just `cargo test`.
+
+**A real build-infrastructure finding surfaced by adding this:** `cargo
+test` started failing to link at all (not just for the new module — for
+the *entire* crate, including previously-passing tests) once `rusqlite`
+was added, with undefined references to `napi_reference_unref` /
+`napi_delete_reference` / `napi_call_threadsafe_function`. These are napi's
+own C-ABI symbols, normally supplied by the Node process that loads a
+`.node` addon at runtime — a standalone `cargo test` binary has no Node
+process to supply them, and this crate's `napi` dependency had
+`default-features = false` without napi's own `dyn-symbols` feature (which
+resolves those symbols dynamically instead of requiring them at static
+link time, and is part of napi's *default* feature set — this crate had
+just never turned it on, and the existing code path apparently never
+triggered the linker into demanding those symbols before). Fix: added
+`dyn-symbols` to the `napi` dependency's feature list in `lib/Cargo.toml`.
+Re-verified after the fix that the real built addon still loads correctly
+under Node (it does — see the smoke test above); this is a supported,
+recommended napi-rs configuration, not a workaround.

-- Multi-platform CI build/load jobs — this sandbox has no Windows/macOS
-  runner access; the CI YAML change itself would be easy, but "add a job"
-  without being able to verify it actually builds and loads the addon
-  there is exactly the kind of unverified change this brief says not to
-  ship.
-- Any Phase 1+ code (SQLite store, crypto vault, RAG index, filesystem
-  capability layer, process supervisor, system-inspection rewrite,

-  tests, benchmarks, and migration/rollback machinery the brief itself
