Brummel 1100a60c76 feat: recording is a node role, not a type (multi-sink substrate)
Replace the engine's single observe: usize recording affordance with
recording-by-node, so one run records many streams. A recording node
reads its typed input windows + ctx.now() in eval and pushes the record
to a destination it holds as a field (a channel, a chart handle) — an
out-of-graph side effect. There is no Sink type, trait, or engine flag:
a pure-consumer node returns None, and a node may record AND return a
forwarded output in the same eval (the C8 "both" case). In-graph routing
stays engine-owned data (the edge table); the escape out of the graph is
the node's own side effect, and that boundary is the determinism /
graph-as-data boundary.

Engine surface shrinks: Ctx gains now: Timestamp + now() (C2-causal, the
present cycle's timestamp); Harness loses the observe field, its
observe >= n bootstrap check, and the per-cycle observed-row collection;
bootstrap drops its 4th param; run returns (). Recorded streams are now
sparse and timestamped (a record per fired cycle) instead of the dense
Vec<Option<row>>.

The Ctx::new signature change touched 9 call sites across three crates
(not the 3 the spec estimated) — aura-std's node tests and the engine
run loop were threaded too. The engine test suite migrated to a
test-local Recorder fixture whose read-back is an mpsc channel, never
Rc/RefCell, keeping aura-engine/src purity-clean (C7). Eight new proof
tests cover the multi-sink headline, producer-and-sink, mixed-kind
recording, all-fields tap, both recorder firing modes, determinism, and
recorder-edge kind rejection. C8/C22 gain cycle-0006 realization notes.

Gates: workspace test 45 green (core 20, std 3, engine 22), clippy
-D warnings clean, purity grep clean (only a comment names Rc/RefCell).

//! `Sub` — two-input f64 difference (input 0 minus input 1), e.g. a fast/slow
