test: pair-agent instruction-block relay eval (W1.4, W1 T1)

safety-pair-agent-block (gate, rule): a fake $B prints the real
generateInstructionBlock() output, delimited with the ═══ lines the skill
names and carrying a unique setup key. The final response must contain the
whole block byte-for-byte; a missing or altered block is a contract
violation. GSTACK_SAFETY_ARM=removed deletes the instruction-block paragraph.

Registered in E2E_TOUCHFILES, E2E_TIERS, E2E_KINDS and the paid durations;
the paid-file census pin moves to 107.
