Persist Mol operator evidence

 - Protected the four new positive zones as validation holdouts; they are not silently eligible for model training.
 - Hardened real-data quality workflows to persist manifest-backed EPSG:4326 Areas and Mol project regions alongside datasets and analysis evidence.
 - Added a single Mol operator runner that composes existing positive QA/QC and background detection-pressure workflows without fake metrics or model downloads.
+- Made the all-in-one runner's default evidence output persistent under `/app/storage/operator-evidence` and fixed manifest path handling in multi-sample aggregation.
 - Added all-in-one image/readiness wiring and focused regression coverage; APIs, migrations, model activation and frontend behavior remain unchanged.

 confidence `0.15` and QA IoU `0.25`. Every positive run persists Project, Area,
