Address P2/P3 review feedback: tighten tolerances, add assertions, remove B5

- Tighten tolerances from 1-5% to 1e-8 (matching observed < 1e-10 gaps)
- Add missing df/CI assertions to A4, A5, A7, B2, B3, B4
- Remove dormant B5 CallawaySantAnna test (time-scale mismatch, R can't
  produce golden values for 2-period RC-DiD)
- C3 DEFF: change to smoke test (different naive baselines vs R)
- Narrow AI review workflow exclusion to benchmarks/data/real/ only
