Id Simulate

The infra-delivery OFFLINE LOCAL-SIMULATION step (the new `simulate` step, between `id-test` and `id-plan`) — a PROCEDURE skill the generic agent runs ENTIRELY OFFLINE (no live cloud, no `ctx`) to author-and-prove the IaC corpus before the live pre-merge plan. Layer 1: `apply` the profile''s EXISTING primitive OpenTofu modules against LocalStack via `tflocal` (or a provider-endpoint override) — proving they APPLY, not merely validate, honest about the CE-vs-Pro coverage boundary. Layer 2: stand up an ephemeral `kind`/`k3d` cluster, install ArgoCD, and reconcile the app-of-apps with Karpenter-`kwok` + ESO-fake — proving the GitOps structure reconciles. It records the local-sim observation as a `.foundry/`-partitioned STEP-REPORT NOTE (`.foundry/id-simulate-report`). ADVISORY — it surfaces the observation; it does NOT gate, approve, or merge (the merge floor, branch protection + CI checks, see docs/merge-floor.md, is the merge authority), and (running no `tofu plan` against live state) it records a STEP-REPORT NOTE, NOT walk-evidence — the bespoke `emit_infra_walk_evidence` recorder this note is contrasted against was retired and does not exist in scripts/. OFFLINE — every Layer-1 `apply` is against the LocalStack endpoint (never a real AWS account); every Layer-2 `apply`/reconcile is against a throwaway local `kind`/`k3d` (never the guarded live cluster); it issues no live mutation, never runs `infra_binding.apply`, and never invokes `ctx-posture`.
