Recipe test: combined runs from accepted values, config literals as probes, fresh import

Soul pass 6, F5 and F6. The all-at-once run set every name to one probe
value and died in loadConfig's first lines, so reads gated on a specific
value (Z4) or on two values late in the function (Z5) were missed, and a
copy of process.env taken at module load (Z6) was never the recorder.

Each name now gets each probe value alone, and the probe values include
every string literal in config.ts; the combined runs set every name at once
to values loadConfig accepted for it alone. config.ts is imported afresh
while the recorder is process.env, so a module-scope capture records too.
The remaining limit is stated in the test.

failureOf in the app tests now prints the error with util.inspect as well,
so a non-enumerable cause carrying the body (Z3) shows.
