Pass 2 previously only knew one estimator: a hardcoded physics model that
matches dimensions literally named platform/actuator/energy_storage. Any
domain outside that shape (e.g. archery) got all-zero estimates and failed
every combo. Domains can now declare free variables and per-metric formulas
as data instead; a safe AST-based evaluator (engine/formula.py, no eval())
resolves declared entity properties via dep(key, constraint_type) and
generalizes the existing hand-nested mass-budget search into an N-variable
recursive optimizer. Fully additive -- the legacy platform/actuator/
energy_storage path is untouched and still runs unchanged for every domain
that declares no formulas.
