feat(auditing): pipeline v1.1 — report generation + scripted gate + temporal delta

- report_generate.py: REPORT-final.md + VALIDATION.md from findings + raw
  capture; per-surface status from summary.surfaces_ok; Data Limitations
- report_gate.py: §6 gate scripted (count/evidence/identity/material
  support); non-zero exit blocks delivery
- audit_diff.py: before/after capture comparison -> DELTA.md
- audit_pipeline.sh: 2 steps -> 4; collision-safe capture copy (re-runs
  preserve baseline); relative output dir resolved to absolute
- beta-audit-process.md: locked v1.0 -> v1.1 (+ dated decision record)
- all 9 runs of the 2026-08-15 batch regenerated + gated (9/9 PASS)
- live end-to-end proof: Gilmore re-run, DELTA.md 0 changes (same day)

+- **Review text and dates** were not captured; ratings and counts only.
+- **Bing Places** is bot-walled for headless capture in most runs; where it shows ✗ above, that surface is excluded from this audit, not verified.
+- This is a **point-in-time snapshot**; directory data changes after the audit date.
