feat(frank-dragoon): raise HALOGEN_CTX to the native 262144 ceiling

The 200,704 ceiling squeezed the harness contextWindow down to 155,648
(the 400-zone fit law needs ~45k of gap under the ceiling), which is why
long dragoon sessions kept hitting the 400 zone: the harness clamps
max_tokens to window - est - 4096, its chars/4 est under-counts ~3 %,
and config.yml compacts at 95 % while the pair was designed for 85 %.

Ceiling -> checkpoint's native 262,144 (no RAM move: the KV pool stays
401,408 and is what the ledger bills; the band ctx <= pool <= slots*ctx
still holds). The harness window becomes 200,000 with a 62,144 gap.

The fit-law seam now reads the declared window from the vault page (the
one owner) and checks the arithmetic at the live 95 % trigger, so a
ceiling/window pair that drifts back together fails tests/run.sh
instead of a live session.
