feat(foundations): Tier 1.1 — Phase 1b+3 interval certificates as Lean axioms

Adds GIFT/Foundations/IntervalCertificates.lean (22 axioms + 12 theorems)
importing the Colab interval-arithmetic certificates as formal Lean
statements, per the rigor rule established in the private repo
(feedback_rigor_verification.md).

Why this matters
----------------
The existing MetricEigenvalues.lean Category F axioms prove trivial
integer identities via native_decide (e.g. 64 × 4 × 77 = 256 × 77)
but carry no physical interval content. The new IntervalCertificates
axioms carry EXPLICIT numerical brackets on the actual K3 block
eigenvalues, sourced from mpmath.iv interval arithmetic on the
full 7×7 metric reconstruction.

What's imported
---------------
Phase 1b cert (colab_phase1b_interval_cert.ipynb):
 - det(g(0.5)) ∈ [2.03124999...9929, 2.03125000...0070]
   i.e. = 65/32 to better than 10⁻¹²
 - K3 block eigenvalue intervals (width ~1.6 × 10⁻¹²) via Weyl halo
 - ‖E‖_F ≤ 8.14 × 10⁻¹⁶

Phase 3 cert (colab_phase3_interval_cert.ipynb):
 - NK fixed-point ratio intervals r_0, r_1, r_2, r_3
 - σ interval (K3 anisotropy parameter)
 - (-3/2, 0, 1/2, 1) provably OUTSIDE these intervals (falsification)
 - 1-parameter signature: |dev_2| ≤ 10⁻³ ≪ |dev_0|, |dev_1| ≈ 0.024

Derived theorems (zero sorry, native_decide/linarith proofs)
-----------------------------------------------------------
 - det_g_at_half_near_65_32: |det(g) - 65/32| ≤ 7.1 × 10⁻¹⁴
 - K3_eigenvalues_positive: all four λᵢ > 0
 - K3_eigenvalues_strict_order: λ₀ < λ₁ < λ₂ < λ₃
 - r_0_ne_neg_three_halves, r_1_ne_zero, r_2_ne_one_half: each naive
   pattern entry falsified (strict inequality from interval bounds)
 - naive_pattern_falsified: master rejection
 - dev_0_small, dev_1_small, dev_2_small: 1-parameter signature bounds
 - one_parameter_signature: combined structural claim
 - interval_certificates_master: conjunction summary

Axiom category
--------------
All 22 axioms are Category F (numerical interval certificate, external
Colab source). Compared to pre-existing Category F axioms, the new ones
carry verifiable numerical content — a reader can re-run the Colab
notebook to check the interval brackets by interval arithmetic.

Future work (Tier 1.2 / 2.1)
----------------------------
 - Split integer-identity vs physical-identification in MetricEigenvalues.lean
 - Tie K3_eigenvalue_i to an explicit definition via the 168 Chebyshev
   coefficients of metric_169_g5.json (replaces axiom declaration with
   computable def + proven bracketing)
 - Upgrade PSLQ_null_in_TCS_basis from placeholder axiom to a proper
   statement once we have a formal PSLQ framework

Zero sorry. Full lake build passes (8380 jobs).
