feat(capture): I1 sovereignty gate + server-derived origin (#53)

Adds the trust-zone Origin to CaptureContext and the I1 gate to the
use-case: a confidential effective classification through a us-nexus
origin is refused before ANY write (ErrSovereigntyRefused), and the
refusal is itself audited. A caller-asserted harness label that names a
different zone than the server-derived origin is logged as a security
event — context.Harness is descriptive-only, never a gate input.

The gate triggers only on an explicit ZoneUSNexus, so the unset default
(ZoneUnknown) can never make it fire on caller-controllable input; the
REST adapter always sets a concrete zone.
