Phase 6.2 exit gate — compliance script real-checks + phase doc = SHIPPED (core)

scripts/compliance/phase-6-2-compliance.ps1 replaces the stub TODOs with 23
real checks spanning:
- Stream A: LdapGroupRoleMapping entity + AdminRole enum + ILdapGroupRoleMappingService
  + impl + write-time invariant + EF migration all present.
- Stream B: OpcUaOperation enum + NodeScope + AuthorizationDecision tri-state
  + IPermissionEvaluator + PermissionTrie + Builder + Cache keyed on
  GenerationId + UserAuthorizationState with MembershipFreshnessInterval=15m
  and AuthCacheMaxStaleness=5m + TriePermissionEvaluator + HistoryRead uses
  its own flag.
- Control/data-plane separation: the evaluator + trie + cache + builder +
  interface all have zero references to LdapGroupRoleMapping (decision #150).
- Stream C foundation: ILdapGroupsBearer + AuthorizationGate with StrictMode
  knob. DriverNodeManager dispatch-path wiring (11 surfaces) is Deferred,
  tracked as task #143.
- Stream D data layer: ValidatedNodeAclAuthoringService + exception type +
  rejects None permissions. Blazor UI pieces (RoleGrantsTab, AclsTab,
  SignalR invalidation, draft diff) are Deferred, tracked as task #144.
- Cross-cutting: full solution dotnet test runs; 1097 >= 1042 baseline;
  tolerates the one pre-existing Client.CLI Subscribe flake.

IPermissionEvaluator doc-comment reworded to avoid mentioning the literal
type name "LdapGroupRoleMapping" — the compliance check does a text-absence
sweep for that identifier across the data-plane files.

docs/v2/implementation/phase-6-2-authorization-runtime.md status updated from
DRAFT to SHIPPED (core). Two deferred follow-ups explicitly called out so
operators see what's still pending for the "Phase 6.2 fully wired end-to-end"
milestone.

`Phase 6.2 compliance: PASS` — exit 0. Any regression that deletes a class
or re-introduces an LdapGroupRoleMapping reference into the data-plane
evaluator turns a green check red + exit non-zero.

 .SYNOPSIS
-    Phase 6.1 exit-gate compliance check — stub. Each `Assert-*` either passes
-    (Write-Host green) or throws. Non-zero exit = fail.
+    Phase 6.1 exit-gate compliance check. Each check either passes or records a
+    failure; non-zero exit = fail.
 
 .DESCRIPTION
     Validates Phase 6.1 (Resilience & Observability runtime) completion. Checks
     enumerated in `docs/v2/implementation/phase-6-1-resilience-and-observability.md`
     §"Compliance Checks (run at exit gate)".
 
-    Current status: SCAFFOLD. Every check writes a TODO line and does NOT throw.
-    Each implementation task in Phase 6.1 is responsible for replacing its TODO
-    with a real check before closing that task.
+    Runs a mix of file-presence checks, text-pattern sweeps over the committed
+    codebase, and a full `dotnet test` pass to exercise the invariants each
+    class encodes. Meant to be invoked from repo root.
