A standing "no worse than the previous engine" check is not added to
CI: the differential check already fails on unintended changes, and a
fixed acceptance threshold would need renegotiating with every
deliberate change. Instead, the rebuild procedure now runs the
comparison while the frozen engine is still the previous one, and
records it with the change. The runner compares against the frozen
engine by default and takes `calibration` to reproduce the #302 record.

With several obligation solutions, the planner ran the whole preference
chain on candidate solutions as previews: every solution after a
complete enumeration, or the eight best-ranked after a truncated window
search. It now orders all solutions by the existing pre-preference
ranking (active objectives, then tie-breaks, of each obligation-only
plan; equal ranks keep enumeration order) and runs the preference
stages once, on the first. If that run ends with earned leave available
only after its final merged time-off period, the stages restart on the
next solution, so a request that planned before never becomes a
conflict.
The loaded year drops from 43 to 5.5 seconds and typed obligations from
3.3 to 0.1 seconds, with byte-identical benchmark plans. Over the 5,000
seeded requests, 23 plans become worse (9 on a real objective) and 1
better; over 50 loaded-year-sized requests, 4 become worse on a real
objective. ADR 0010 records the decision; docs/benchmark/issue-302.md
records the comparison and the opt-in runner that reproduces it.
The frozen-engine check fails until the frozen engine is rebuilt from
this commit in the next one.
