The NoAudience rejection Soul flagged (fresh-workspace-handoff.md) was a
missing position, not a transport problem: all three subjects in
real_local_model_cognition_modes_commit_speech declared position: None, so
the kernel had no audience for the seed speech. Add a Place ("roll-hall")
and set each subject's position to it, copying the pattern already used by
the passing persona-lane fixture (~line 7550). No other test body or
assertion changes.
Verified against real Bonsai over the Raven tunnel: passes in 284.68s,
persona prose "Mara hears Iris. She says, \"I hear you.\"" Mutation
re-verified with open_inference actually reached this time: pointing
LocalBinding at the closed loopback port 127.0.0.1:9 fails at inference
("NarrativePersona acceptance did not complete"), not at NoAudience;
reverted by reverse edit (diff-clean).
