Brummel 90e298d3b4 fieldtest: cycle-0008 — 5 examples, 6 findings
First fieldtest of the sum combinators. A standalone downstream-consumer crate
(fieldtests/cycle-0008-sum-combinators/) path-depends on the engine crates and
exercises the post-0008 surface from the public interface only (rustdoc + ledger
+ glossary + project-layout, never crates/*/src).

Primary axis empirically met: the north-star two-signal combine move now uses the
shipped Add (Add::new() dropped in exactly where the 0007 fixture hand-authored
an Add2) — the 0007 boilerplate is retired, end to end through SimBroker to a
deterministic recorded pip curve.

Findings: 0 bugs, 1 friction, 2 spec_gaps, 3 working.
  - working ×3: Add2 retired; LinComb weighted/variadic sums exact (<1e-12);
    warm-up barrier + empty-weights panic as documented.
  - spec_gap: Add/LinComb per-input firing policy (Firing::Any / mode-A as-of
    join) absent from the public surface — same class as the 0007 SimBroker gap.
  - spec_gap: a fired combinator emits one row per *cycle*, so a heterogeneous
    same-timestamp multi-source trace can carry >1 row per timestamp (correct per
    C4/C5, undocumented at this surface).
  - friction: nested consumer crate still needs the empty [workspace] table
    (carried from 0006/0007; #9 closed the docs half; folds into aura new).

Spec feeds the next plan as reference.

//! Example 4 — edge behaviour of the new combinators.
//!
//! (a) Warm-up barrier: `LinComb` withholds output (`None`) until EVERY leg has
//! a value. With two legs that warm up at different times (Sma(2) at t=1,
//! Sma(5) at t=4), the combined output must first appear at t=4, never
//! folding a cold leg in as 0.0.
//!
//! (b) The empty-weights build error: `LinComb::new(vec![])` panics (a build-time
//! param error, documented on the public surface), caught here and reported.
