smoke-test-ml-pipeline Audit-Bericht.

Owns the smoke test contract for an ML experiment: a small, diagnostic-by-construction pytest that fits the experiment's learner on a portion of the real `data/` source and predicts on a *disjoint* portion that deliberately carries **no pre-history buffer**. The assertion is structural — the number of predictions must equal the number of rows in the predict grid. A pipeline that loads-then-features-then-splits will silently drop the cold-start rows of the predict slice and the test will fail with a row-count mismatch; a pipeline that marks X early and references upstream history nodes from feature steps will pass trivially. The smoke test is the executable proof of the X-marker placement rule from `build-ml-pipeline`. TRIGGER when: `test-ml-pipeline` has dispatched here to write the smoke test for an approved experiment; `pytest tests/smoke/` is failing on row count; the user asks "why is the smoke test failing?"; a pipeline edit in `build-ml-pipeline` needs an executable proof; an exp
