Subconscious: persistent agent state, store activity queries

- Agent state (outputs) persists across runs in subconscious-state.json,
  loaded on startup, saved after each run completes
- Merge semantics: each run's outputs accumulate into persistent_state
  rather than replacing
- Walked keys restored from surface agent state on load
- Store::recent_by_provenance() queries nodes by agent provenance for
  the store activity view
- Switch outputs from HashMap to BTreeMap for stable display ordering
