Yifan Yang 722ce646d4 feat(sleep): experience replay + dream rollouts in the cycle (opt-in)
Wires two consolidation mechanisms into the shipped nightly cycle, both default
OFF so existing behavior is unchanged:
  - dream_rollouts (>1): multi-rollout contrastive reflection per task
  - recall_k (>0): associative recall of the K most-similar past tasks (from a
    capped task_archive persisted in state.json) into tonight's dream
  - dream_factor (>0): synthetic task variants

New shared engine module skillopt_sleep/dream.py (recall_similar, dream_augment,
dream_consolidate) is called by both the plugin cycle and the experiment harness,
so reported numbers exercise the exact shipped code. Built on the existing
rollouts_k/sample_id support already in consolidate.py/rollout.py.

Validated (5 nights x 10 real tasks/night, full held-out test, GPT-5.5, gated):
the gain scales with recall depth on a clean signal —
SearchQA recall_k=10 +3.1, recall_k=20 +4.5, full-history reference +5.6;
SpreadsheetBench (nano, gate-free) +3.6. Flat within noise on saturated/noisy
cells. See docs/sleep/EXPERIENCE_REPLAY.md (+ raw runs under blog_runs/v2_port/).
