fix(fieldtest): probe tier runs on the frontmatter opus model

The owner reviewed the recorded design-review dissent on the probe
tier's sonnet override and agreed with it: field evidence is a
rule-2 judgement role, and the probe cut lacks the deterministic
measurement + verify gate the issue-#30 override rests on. The
probe tier keeps its scope economy (1-2 examples on the single
delta axis, capped report) and drops the model override;
agent-template rule 2 loses the conditioned exception.
