fix(channels): duplicate adopt/open must not destroy the live channel; fuzz targets 3-5

Found by the manager_routing fuzz target (docs/research/fuzzing.md \u00a77.8):

- ChannelManager::open_channel / adopt_channel used
  HashMap::insert(...).is_some() as a collision check \u2014 insert REPLACES
  the existing entry, so a duplicate adopt/open installed the new state,
  dropped the live channel's demux_sender (spurious EOF to its readers,
  subsequently routed chunks lost) and still returned
  Err(ChannelExists). Fixed with contains_key pre-check; map untouched
  on collision. Regression tests: adopt_channel_duplicate_id_leaves_
  live_channel_intact, open_channel_duplicate_id_leaves_live_channel_
  intact.

New fuzz targets (\u00a77.4 step 3):
- manager_routing: Arbitrary op sequences over ChannelManager; exact
  counter models (parked/dropped must equal the manager's monotonic
  counters), parked-bytes bound per \u00a76.2-1, clear_all ledger-vs-map
  semantics, drainer-byte reconciliation (lossless routing)
- envelope_semantic: constructors -> serde -> write_frame/read_frame
  structural round-trip; event-type constants; call.error parse-back
- spec_parse: OpRegisterRequest::from_json -> rebuild -> registry
  registration (attacker schemas compile at register, CF-003)
- fuzz/shared/src/arbitrary_value.rs: bounded Arbitrary for
  serde_json::Value; 20 spec_parse + 4 manager_routing seeds
- corpus replay for the new targets in fuzz/shared tests

Verification: cargo test 684 passed (682 + 2 regression); clippy
-D warnings clean (main + fuzz/shared); fmt clean (main + fuzz);
cargo fuzz build clean; 20 s smoke on all three new targets clean
(manager_routing 79k, envelope_semantic 141k, spec_parse 517k runs);
crash input replays clean post-fix

+
+**Adopted.** Three more targets, all over already-`pub` APIs (the
+`#[cfg(fuzzing)]` exposure never materialized — quinn/rustls-style
+exposure has not been needed for any of the five targets):
+
+| Target | Drives | Invariants |
+|---|---|---|
+| `manager_routing` | `ChannelManager` under `#[derive(Arbitrary)]` op sequences (`Route`/`Open`/`Adopt`/`Teardown`/`ClearAll`), 256 ops × 4 KiB payloads, live mux runner, drainer tasks | no-panic; **exact counter models**: harness parked/dropped counters must equal the manager's monotonic `early_arrival_count`/`dropped_unknown_chunks` after every op; parked bytes ≤ distinct-ids × 64 × 16 MiB (the documented per-channel bound, §6.2-1); post-sequence `clear_all` reconciles every routed byte against the drainers' totals (lossless bounded-buffer routing, sentinel semantics included) |
+| `envelope_semantic` | `#[derive(Arbitrary)]` `EnvelopeKind` → the six `EventEnvelope` constructors → serde round-trip → `write_frame`/`read_frame` | no-panic; constructors emit exactly the wire-stable event-type constants; any `Value` payload survives a serde round-trip; `call.error` payloads always parse back as `CallError` (ADR-016 closed schema); structural `write_frame`/`read_frame` round-trip |
+| `spec_parse` | raw bytes → `serde_json` → `OpRegisterRequest::from_json` (the `pub` wrapper over `rebuild_spec_for`) → `OperationRegistry::register` (attacker-shaped schemas **compile at registration**, CF-003) | no-panic; parse failures are clean `INVALID_INPUT`; `spec_to_json_pub` → `from_json` round-trips the rebuilt spec; registration is always `Result` (uncompilable schema = compile error, never silent); registry bookkeeping survives repeated attacker-shaped inserts |
+
+New supporting pieces: `fuzz/shared/src/arbitrary_value.rs` (a bounded
+`Arbitrary` impl for `serde_json::Value` — depth 6, width 6, sized
+strings/keys), and 20 `spec_parse` + 4 `manager_routing` committed
+seeds (the op-sequence corpus is tiny because structured `Arbitrary`
+inputs self-generate; the four committed seeds are semantic fixtures
+including the duplicate-adopt sequence that pinned the bug below).
+
+### First real finding: duplicate adopt/open destroyed the live channel
+
+The `manager_routing` campaign found it in its first minutes — the
+§6.2 stateful thesis, confirmed: **the bug is invisible to
+example-based tests** because it needs an *interleaving* (adopt → drop
+write half → duplicate adopt → route) that no unit test thinks to
+replay.
+
+**Mechanism** (`src/channels/manager.rs`, `open_channel` and
+`adopt_channel`, pre-fix):
+
+```rust
+if channels.insert(channel_id, state).is_some() {
+    return Err(ManagerError::ChannelExists(channel_id));
+}
+```
+
+`HashMap::insert` **replaces** an occupied entry and returns the old
+value — so the collision-detection idiom silently *installed the new
+state and dropped the old `ChannelState`*, whose `demux_sender` was
+the live channel's read half. A duplicate `adopt_channel`/`open_channel`
+on an in-use id returned `Err(ChannelExists)` (correct) **while
+destroying the live channel** (incorrect): readers saw a spurious EOF,
+subsequently routed chunks were lost, and the mux write half kept
+framing onto the transport for a channel the demux no longer fed.
+
+Reproducibility: a failed adopt on a live channel whose mux pump had
+finished (the write half dropped — as any caller does) re-registered a
+pump, succeeded through `mux.register`, and hit the replacing insert.
+The duplicate-adopt path is reachable whenever an open-op response is
+replayed or a connection-owner race re-announces an id.
+
+**Fix** (this commit): check `channels.contains_key(&channel_id)` and
+return before any insert — the map is never touched on collision in
+either `open_channel` or `adopt_channel`. Regression tests:
+`adopt_channel_duplicate_id_leaves_live_channel_intact`,
+`open_channel_duplicate_id_leaves_live_channel_intact` (both verify
+routing survives a rejected duplicate; the first also verifies the
+EOF sentinel remains the only EOF source).
+
+**Also fixed in the harness** (fuzzer-vs-harness findings, not crate
+bugs): `clear_all` returns the opener-ledger entries (ADR-047 §7),
+not channel-map entries — adopted channels carry no ledger entry, so
+`drained.len() == open_count()` is *not* an invariant; the monotonic
+counters survive `clear_all`; and drainer-byte reconciliation needs
+per-id supersession when a fresh stream replaces a drained one.
+
+### Campaign results (smoke tier, 20 s per target)
+
+All three targets ran clean (`-fork=1 -rss_limit_mb=2048
+-malloc_limit_mb=2048`): `manager_routing` 79k runs, `envelope_semantic`
+141k runs, `spec_parse` 517k runs — zero crashes beyond the found-and-
+fixed channel bug above. The stable side stayed green throughout:
+684 tests (682 + the two regression tests), clippy `-D warnings`, fmt
+(main + fuzz workspace + shared). Detached 10-min campaigns on the new
+targets follow this commit; §6.2-1 (parked-bytes bound) is now encoded
+as an exact counter model and the §7.4 step-3 stateful coverage exists.
