Remove the shift log: not properly designed yet

Reverts 038cdc5. The source itself was reachable and the demo data was
sound, but the design questions underneath it were not settled: whether it
belongs in Cube or in plain SQL once Cube is repointed at imh at Phase 4,
whether it is append-only, how an entry is authored and authenticated, and
what a real query window over it looks like. Better out than half-committed.

Kept from 038cdc5:
  H02   the 'last 3 days' wording. That change was asked for on its own and
        has nothing to do with the shift log. It still fails, on the
        _contains_quantity false positive.

Restored:
  N04   back to the shift log question. With no such source it tests what it
        was written to test again: "no such source" is not "no records found".
  S01, S02  removed with the feature.

---
---   ############################################################
---   ##  DEMO DATA.  NOT A REAL SHIFT LOG.  DO NOT QUOTE.       ##
---   ############################################################
---
--- WHY THIS IS A TABLE AND NOT A DOCUMENT, AND NOT THE HISTORIAN
--- -------------------------------------------------------------
--- A shift log is continuously updated, which rules out both of the stores we
--- already have:
---
---   * NOT doc_chunks. That store is built on doc_number + revision +
---     effective_date, and nothing in it is citable until a human has confirmed
---     that header. A record that changes every shift would need re-confirming
---     every shift, and a confirmation gate asked that often stops being a gate.
---     It is the same mechanism that makes a procedure citation trustworthy, so
---     wearing it out here would cost us something real elsewhere.
---
---   * NOT the historian. Three reasons and the first is decisive: we hold
---     READ-ONLY on imh and may not write to it at all. Beyond that, the
---     historian is keyed on the CI Server item and only the item - a log entry
---     has no item, no register and no scan interval, and inventing one is what
---     produced all three Phase 5 findings. And its retention is seven days,
---     so the one source that could outlive the historian would expire with it.
---
--- So it is a third evidence source alongside the historian and the document
--- library: free text, at irregular times, by a named author.
---
--- WHAT THIS DELIBERATELY DOES NOT DO
--- ----------------------------------
--- Entries are NOT citations. Citation means a controlled document with a
--- confirmed revision, and an operator note is not that however true it is.
--- Shift-log evidence is returned as rows on the historical lane, labelled as
--- an operator record, and the Citation contract is untouched. Extending
--- Citation to cover a second kind of source is a real design decision and is
--- not being made here.
---
--- There is no retention limit on this table. The seven-day query window in
--- tools/shiftlog.py is there to match the historical lane's window, not
--- because anything here expires. When the query window becomes variable
--- (REQUESTS.md), this table can answer questions the historian cannot.
---
--- WRITE PATH: none. There is no UI and no API that inserts here. The seed
--- below is the whole content, and it is demo fiction. An operator writing a
--- real entry is Phase 9 work that has not been scoped.

--- Demo entries.
---
--- Anchored to the START OF TODAY IN SITE LOCAL TIME, then placed at fixed
--- local times on fixed days back. Two properties matter and the first is not
--- obvious:
---
---   * The shift label has to match the clock. An earlier version offset every
---     entry by a whole number of hours from now(), which is relative and
---     therefore never goes stale - but it slid every entry's local hour as the
---     day wore on, and produced night-shift entries timestamped 10:00. Demo
---     data that contradicts itself on the face of it is worse than none.
---
---   * Relative, not absolute, so re-running always lands entries inside the
---     rolling seven days. The alarm fixtures are absolute and have gone stale;
---     this does not.
---
--- ONE anchor for the whole load, not a per-statement now(), for the reason
--- 002_fixtures.sql gives: a statement-by-statement now() drifts within a load.
---
--- The site timezone is named here because this seed places entries at local
--- clock times and there is no other way to do that. It must match
--- SITE_TIMEZONE in ~/ai/api.env. The conversion still happens exactly once,
--- and never in a prompt.
---
--- Entries in the future are dropped rather than inserted: a load run at 03:00
--- would otherwise write a day-shift entry that has not happened yet.
---
--- Re-runnable: demo rows are deleted and reinserted. Only rows marked is_demo
--- are touched, so a real entry could never be removed by a re-run.

AN EARLIER VERSION OF THIS CASE WAS WRONG in two ways, recorded here so it is not reintroduced: it demanded the words 'retention' and 'seven days', and it banned 'no records found'. That contradicts CLAUDE.md, which makes 'no records found' the required wording for zero rows - and with a fixed one-week window, June genuinely has zero rows in what was queried, so that wording is correct rather than evasive.

Four namespaces name this one measurement - instrument tag LIT-101, PLC symbol %QW0, SCADA point PS_STN_WET_WELL_LEVEL, CI Server item AID.WRPS.STN.LEVEL - and confusing the last two is what caused finding (a). This case exists so that the distinction stays visible to anyone reading the eval set, and so a regression that reintroduces the point name as the history key is caught by a question rather than by an outage."}
