fix(engine): classify 'ci' change-kind only by real CI path segments, not any .yml/.yaml (#8873)

[RealDiligent]

Problem

Closes #8873.

packages/loopover-engine/src/objective-anchor.ts's kindsFromPath classified ci via CI_SEGMENTS.has(segment) || filename.endsWith('.yml') || filename.endsWith('.yaml'). The bare-extension fallback tagged any YAML file — root .loopover.yml, docs/mkdocs.yml — as ci, diluting the ci change-kind dimension scoreObjectiveAnchor relies on.

Fix

Drop the extension fallback. ci is classified only via a real CI path segment (CI_SEGMENTS), the same path-segment discipline every other change-kind uses.

Tests

.loopover.yml and docs/mkdocs.yml no longer produce ci; .github/workflows/ci.yml still does. Reverting fails the negative assertions. git diff --check clean.

Addressed
The diff removes the bare .yml/.yaml extension fallback so 'ci' is classified only via CI_SEGMENTS path-segment match, and adds negative tests confirming .loopover.yml and docs/mkdocs.yml no longer produce 'ci' plus a positive test that a real CI path still does.

Signal definitions

• Related work = same linked issue, overlapping active PRs, or title/path similarity.
• Change scope = cached public metadata such as size labels, draft state, and review-burden hints.
• Validation posture = whether the PR provides enough public validation/test evidence for maintainer review.
• Contributor workload = public contributor activity and cleanup pressure, not a repo-wide quality failure.
• Contributor context = public GitHub/Gittensor identity context; non-Gittensor status is not a blocker.
