Paperclip Eval Kernel

@paperclipai/paperclip-eval-kernel is the workspace-private, provider-neutral matrix orchestrator owned by Paperclip Evals. It contains no Paperclip scenario corpus, provider configuration, product fixture, scorer, or report template.

Consumers pass scenario and candidate values plus execution and scoring callbacks. Candidate preflight hooks should call the runner package's assertPaperclipRunnerCompatibility before any provider work starts. This keeps catalog, protocol, runner-client, control-plane-adapter, testkit, corpus, and provider-operation incompatibilities explicit.

Paperclip App may consume this package only as a development dependency for CI or parity tests. @paperclipai/paperclip-runner has no runtime dependency on it.
