Chaim 338a8a947f feat(principles): canonical_statement synthesis service + throttled backfill (Phase E groundwork, #152)
Grounded (INV-AH) multi-instance synthesis with drift guard + chair gate
(pending_review, G10). Single path used by backfill, MCP tool, nightly drain.
HELD from production run pending the principles-redesign (rename+cull, #152).

"""Canonical-halacha synthesis (V41 Phase 4).
The backfill carried each canonical's ``canonical_statement`` over verbatim from
its representative halacha. This pass asks a local ``claude_session`` model to
rewrite that statement into ONE clean, case-independent legal principle — for the
~6 multi-instance canonicals a genuine merge of the N phrasings, for the singleton
majority a faithful generalising polish — then advances ``review_status``
pending_synthesis → pending_review for the chair gate (G10 / INV-LRN1).
Invariants this module upholds:
• INV-AH — the synthesis is GROUNDED in the instances' ``supporting_quote``s.
The model abstains (``grounded=false``) rather than invent law, no
new case citations may appear, and a re-embedding **drift guard**
rejects any rewrite that drifts too far from the source statement.
• G10/INV-LRN1 — never auto-approves; lands at ``pending_review`` for the chair.
• G9 — every outcome (accepted / kept-original / abstained) is logged + returned.
• G2 — single synthesis path; the backfill script, the on-demand MCP tool and
the nightly drain all call :func:`synthesize_canonical` here.
LLM calls go through ``claude_session`` (local ``claude -p`` CLI) only — never the
Anthropic SDK, never from the FastAPI container (see claude_session docstring).

{task}
## כללים מחייבים (INV-AH — עיגון, ללא הזיה)
1. **עיגון-מקור בלבד.** הניסוח חייב לנבוע מהציטוטים-התומכים שלמעלה. אסור להוסיף דין, חריג, סייג או תנאי שאינו עולה מהמקורות.
2. **ללא ציטוטי-תיקים חדשים.** אל תוסיף מספרי-תיק/פסקי-דין שאינם מופיעים במקורות. הפניה לסעיף-חוק כללי (למשל "סעיף 197 לחוק התכנון והבניה") מותרת אם היא חלק מהעיקרון.
3. **כללי ובלתי-תלוי-תיק.** הסר שמות-צדדים, עובדות-תיק ספציפיות ומספרים קונקרטיים. נסח עיקרון רב-תחולה, לא סיכום של מקרה.
4. **רגיסטר משפטי נקי** בעברית, משפט אחד עד שניים, ללא מילות-פתיחה ("נקבע כי", "בית-המשפט קבע") — רק העיקרון עצמו.
5. **הימנעות עדיפה על המצאה.** אם אינך יכול לזקק עיקרון מעוגן מהמקורות — החזר grounded=false והשאר את הניסוח הקיים.
