feat(flywire): Princeton CSV loader + live 115k-neuron fly brain

The connectome-fly UI now runs the real FlyWire brain end-to-end:
115,151 neurons, 2,676,592 unique synapses (from 3.78M Princeton rows
aggregated per (pre, post)), 2,590 sensory neurons auto-detected.

Changes:
- src/connectome/flywire/princeton.rs: new gzipped-CSV loader for the
  Princeton codex.flywire.ai format (neurons.csv.gz +
  connections_princeton.csv.gz). Uses serde's #[rename] to map
  "Root ID" / "pre_root_id" / "Predicted NT type" / etc. to the
  existing NeuronMeta schema. Aggregates per-neuropil rows on the fly
  into per-(pre, post) synapse counts. Zero dangling ids on the
  shipped dataset.
- src/bin/ui_server.rs: CONNECTOME_FLYWIRE_PRINCETON_DIR env var
  selects the Princeton path; falls through to v783 TSV then
  synthetic SBM. Observer's detect_every_ms backs off to 500 ms at
  N ≥ 10k and CONNECTOME_SKIP_FIEDLER=1 disables it entirely (the
  Fiedler eigensolver is O(window_spikes²)–O(n³) and melts the stream
  at 115k neurons without one of those mitigations).
- examples/connectome-fly/assets/{neurons,connections_princeton}.csv.gz:
  the 2.1 MB + 26 MB Princeton dump, committed under assets/ so the
  example is self-contained. Clone size +28 MB.
- Cargo.toml: flate2 1.0 dependency (already pinned elsewhere in the
  workspace for ruvector-cli / ruvector-snapshot).
- flywire/mod.rs: pub use princeton::load_flywire_princeton.

Run it:
  cargo build --release --bin ui_server
  CONNECTOME_FLYWIRE_PRINCETON_DIR=examples/connectome-fly/assets \
  CONNECTOME_SKIP_FIEDLER=1 \
  CONNECTOME_SKIP_COMMUNITIES=1 \
  ./target/release/ui_server
  cd examples/connectome-fly/ui && npm run dev

Measured on a commodity host:
  with CONNECTOME_SKIP_FIEDLER=1  → 49 sim-ticks / 5 s wall, 2.2 M
                                    real spikes after 5 s
  with detector default 5 ms      →  4 sim-ticks / 10 s wall
                                    (Fiedler λ₂ on the 100 k-spike
                                    co-firing window dominates)

Browser validation (agent-browser): banner reads "engine=rust-lif
substrate=flywire-princeton-csv n=115,151 syn=2,676,592 witness=…",
tick advances past 123, real_spikes_total > 6 M within a few seconds,
zero console errors.

This closes the "can we run the entire fly brain, not just 1024
neurons" question. Open follow-up: raster UI still bins spikes modulo
208 rows — at 115 k neurons that's ~550× overloaded, so the canvas
mostly dims out. Proper per-module binning or downsampling is a UI
task, not an engine task.

+//! Princeton-format FlyWire ingest: gzipped CSV dump → `Connectome`.
+//!
+//! The Princeton codex.flywire.ai release ships as two gzipped CSVs:
+//!
+//! - `neurons.csv.gz` — one row per neuron with columns
+//!   `Root ID, Top in/out region, Community labels, Predicted NT type,
+//!    Predicted NT confidence, Verified NT type, Verified Neuropeptide,
+//!    Body Part, Function, Flow, Super Class, Class, Sub Class,
+//!    Hemilineage, Nerve, Soma side, Primary Cell Type,
+//!    Alternative Cell Type(s), Cable length (nm), Surface area (nm^2),
+//!    Volume (nm^3)`.
+//!
+//! - `connections_princeton.csv.gz` — one row per (pre, post, neuropil)
+//!   triple with columns `pre_root_id, post_root_id, neuropil,
+//!   syn_count, nt_type`. Multiple rows may share the same (pre, post)
+//!   pair — one per neuropil — and the loader aggregates them.
+//!
+//! This is distinct from the `v783 TSV` path in `loader.rs` /
+//! `streaming.rs` which expects tab-delimited, uncompressed files with
+//! `neuron_id` / `pre_id` / `post_id` column names and an optional
+//! `classification.tsv`. The Princeton dump is what codex actually
+//! serves today.
+//!
+//! Invariants:
+//! - Deterministic: byte-identical input → byte-identical Connectome.
+//! - No `unsafe`.
+//! - Streaming: synapses are bucketed into per-pre `HashMap<(post),
+//!   (weight, sign)>` so the ~3.8M Princeton rows collapse to ~1M
+//!   unique directed pairs without ever materialising a `Vec<SynapseRow>`.
