fed-sx-m2: Step 7c — outbox delivery_set integration + 4 tests

outbox:publish/2 now computes the audience-resolved delivery set
after sign + log and stashes it in the Result proplist as
{delivery_set, [ActorId, ...]}. Step 8's delivery-queue worker
reads it off the publish result.

New compute_delivery_set/3(Request, Signed, Context):
  - Pulls :follower_graph from Context (defaults to empty graph)
  - Calls recipients_envelope/2 to synthesise a minimal envelope
    from Request's :to / :cc + Signed's :actor
  - Routes through delivery:delivery_set/3 unchanged

The envelope construct/4 surface doesn't carry :to / :cc (only
type / actor / published / object), and changing that ripples
through every envelope shape test. recipients_envelope/2 keeps
the compute boundary local to outbox.

4 new cases in outbox_publish.sh (17/17 total):
  - Result :delivery_set empty default
  - explicit :to -> [bob] in set
  - followers symbol expands via Context :follower_graph
  - self-suppression (alice in :to drops to []bob])

Module loads rebumped: follower_graph + delivery added as
dependencies; outbox shifts from epoch 5 to epoch 7. Internal
sx_server timeout bumped 240s -> 480s to fit the larger module
set.

Step 7 fully closed (7a delivery module + 7b public expansion
+ 7c outbox integration). Federation now has the end-to-end
audience resolution: an outbound activity's :to / :cc plus any
follower_graph expansion becomes a deduped recipient list ready
for Step 8 to dispatch.

Conformance running + adjacent gate running.
