Subject: [PATCH] cerebellum: plug-and-play OpenHermes harness on the Ichor bus

C1 integration spine as an Ichor organ. CerebellumHarness receives a turn off
the bus, sequences N passes through a swappable LLM adapter (the OpenHermes
plug; StubLLM stands in), and emits the synthesis back onto the bus toward the
Brain (crossing D1). Add Cerebellum to OrganId; wire a turn in the demo main.
Compiles on ponyc 0.64; end-to-end run green (turn -> cerebellum -> D1 -> brain).

Also: add a small read-only permission allowlist (toolchain probes/versions).
