Summary

Add the two pluggable seams from the speculation RFC, as vendor-agnostic extension interfaces under submitqueue/extension/speculation/.

enumerator: given a batch and its dependency batches (carrying per-batch Score), mechanically lists the candidate Base/Head paths and scores each — pure, deterministic, status-free.

selector: given a speculation tree with controller-stamped status, returns a per-path action (Build/Cancel) — the policy seam; reads status, emits actions, never writes status.

Each follows the repo extension contract (conflict.Analyzer reference shape): Factory.For(Config) (T, error) with Config carrying only QueueName; behavioral knobs are integrator-injected at construction. Includes READMEs, gomock packages, and Makefile mock-gen wiring. Interfaces only; concrete impls and controller wiring are deferred.

Capture how SubmitQueue speculates before the interfaces land: the problem (dependent batches serialize behind multi-minute builds), the Base/Head path-and-tree model, where speculation sits in the orchestrator pipeline, and the two pluggable seams it splits into — tree enumeration and path selection. Also records the status-vs-action ownership split and speculation depth.

Design only; the entities, store, and extension interfaces follow in later PRs in this stack. Adds doc/rfc/submitqueue/speculation.md and links it from the RFC index.
Reshape the speculation tree data model around the Base/Head path that the build stage actually consumes, and align its store.

entity: SpeculationPath{Base, Head} becomes the unit; SpeculationPathInfo carries the path plus its enumerator Score, controller-owned Status (candidate/selected/building/passed/failed/cancelled), and BuildID. Adds SpeculationPathAction and SpeculationPathDecision for the selector seam. SpeculationTree.Speculations becomes Paths. The Build entity drops its own local SpeculationPathInfo and uses the shared SpeculationPath (Head = the batch under verification), with the build controller updated to match.

storage: SpeculationTreeStore.UpdateSpeculations(batchID, []SpeculationInfo) becomes Update(ctx, SpeculationTree) — symmetric with Create, keyed by tree.BatchID. MySQL impl and mock updated.

## Summary

Capture how SubmitQueue speculates before the interfaces land.
Speculation is modeled as two layers: **decision seams** — enumeration
and **scoring** *describe* the tree of possible bets, selection and
prioritization *act* on it — and **signal-driven limit policies** that
decide *how much* to allow at each step (dependency limit, selection
limit, prioritization limit), scaling with the build system's resources.
A path's score is dynamic — recomputed as dependencies land, fail, or
have their builds pass — not frozen at enumeration.

Covers: the problem (dependent batches serialize behind multi-minute
builds), the Base/Head path-and-tree model, where speculation sits in
the orchestrator pipeline, the status-vs-action ownership split, the
dependency limit as an eligibility gate (batches wait for predecessors
to land rather than trimming their base), dynamic rescoring, and how
prioritization rations the queue's builds against its budget.

Design only; entities, store, and extension interfaces follow in later
PRs in this stack. Adds doc/rfc/submitqueue/speculation.md and links it
from the RFC index.

### Changes since review

Reframed from two seams (enumeration + selection) to describe/act
decisions + limits, addressing @sbalabanov's review:
- selector resource-awareness → the new **prioritization** layer owns
the queue-wide build budget; the selector stays a pure per-batch policy
- "variable depth, not a single knob" → the **dependency limit** is a
signal-driven policy, not a constant
- clarified the dependency limit is an **eligibility gate** on active
in-flight dependencies (a batch waits until predecessors land), not a
base trim
- **dynamic scoring**: split scoring out of enumeration into a
**scorer** that recomputes each path's score as dependencies
land/fail/pass — enumeration is now structure-only
- entire tree persisted (the selector reads all path statuses + scores,
so it can cancel a path it earlier asked to build); the redundant
fallback path is cancelled on a winning bet; slash-free example names;
trimmed impl-detail bullets
- recorded as open: extending rescoring to weigh how long a batch has
waited

## Test Plan

Doc-only. Rendered locally; ASCII diagrams and tables verified; no
hard-wrapped prose.
