fix(analytics): move the DuckDB live suite out of tests/integration, and add the BI docs

CI's integration job failed, and it failed CORRECTLY. That job provides a live
OpenSearch and a live ClickHouse and then asserts that nothing in
tests/integration/ skipped, on the stated principle that "a skipped suite must
never masquerade as a green integration gate". The DuckDB suite needs a Python
interpreter that job does not provide, so it skipped, and the guard fired — the
first suite in that directory ever to skip there.

Moving the file to tests/duckdb/ respects the guard rather than weakening it.
Loosening it to tolerate skips would have traded a real gate for one green job,
which is the trade this estate keeps regretting. The suite still runs, still
fails rather than skipping when DUCKDB_PYTHON is set and DuckDB is broken, and
is still pinned by the committed evidence.

Also fixed: "does NOT ship the Iceberg table" asserted against the FILESYSTEM
when the claim is about what is COMMITTED. The live suite rebuilds that table
locally, so the assertion failed whenever both suites ran in one pass — it was
testing the wrong thing rather than catching a real problem. It now asserts
against `git ls-files`, and also asserts the parquet/csv fixtures ARE tracked,
so a version that stopped shipping any fixture would fail too.

docs/analytics/BI_QUERY_METRIC_QUALITY.md is organised around what is PROVEN
and what is NOT, because the second list is the one that gets dropped. It
records the five findings and the six open items, including that BI-P029's
MetricFlow was never executed and that BI-P021's budget is a bound rather than
a hard cap (measured 130x overshoot at a 100ms poll).

It also reports, without changing it, a latent flaw in .gitea/workflows/ci.yml
(a protected file this branch does not touch): the integration guard's second
pattern `Tests  [0-9]+ passed` never matches, because vitest writes that
summary with ANSI colour codes between the words. The guard is therefore
STRICTER than it reads — "any skip fails" rather than "skipped and nothing
passed" — so nothing is currently unguarded, but the escape hatch does not
work and someone will eventually be puzzled by it.

957 tests pass with ClickHouse, Postgres and DuckDB all live.

+
+## Five findings that changed the implementation
+
+Each was found by writing a test that could fail, and each is pinned so it
+cannot quietly stop being true.
+
+### 1. ClickHouse `readonly = 1` on a user profile forbids **every** request setting
+
+Measured on 24.8.14.39. A user whose profile carries `readonly = 1` answers
+`Code: 164. Cannot modify 'max_rows_to_read' setting in readonly mode` to any
+setting sent with the statement. So BI-P012's ceilings **cannot travel with an
+analyst statement** — they are baked into the user's `SETTINGS PROFILE` at
+provisioning. Proven both ways: an over-budget scan fails with code 158 from
+the profile with no setting sent, and an attempt to raise it from the request
+fails with 164.
+
+### 2. `CREATE ROW POLICY IF NOT EXISTS` is a silent no-op on re-provisioning
+
+Dropping a user empties the policy's apply-to list. The next provisioning run
+sees the policy exists and does nothing, so it survives with
+`apply_to_list = []` — applying to **nobody** — while `system.row_policies`
+still shows the correct `select_filter`. The restricted user read 100 of 100
+rows, **both tenants**, from the base table.
+
+Fixed with `OR REPLACE`, plus `rowPolicyVerificationSql()` which turns "the
+policy is applied" from an assumption into a query, and a test asserting
+`applied_to_user = 1` per object. `CREATE SETTINGS PROFILE IF NOT EXISTS` has
+the identical shape and is fixed the same way.
+
+### 3. DuckDB's `allowed_directories` **alone** is a no-op
+
+Measured on 1.5.5. With `allowed_directories` set to one mount directory and
+nothing else, `read_csv('/etc/passwd')` **returned the file** and an `https://`
+URL was fetched over the network. Only `enable_external_access = false`
+alongside it makes the allow-list bind.
+
+The obvious spelling of this control appears in `duckdb_settings()`, looks like
+a sandbox, and permits everything. The measurement is pinned by a test that
+never skips, so simplifying the bootstrap breaks the build rather than the
+guarantee.
+
+### 4. `pg_constraint.conname` is not schema-scoped
+
+`SELECT 1 FROM pg_constraint WHERE conname = '...'` matches a same-named
+constraint in **any** schema, so `sql/009` applied into a second schema
+silently skipped every guarded `CHECK`. Every guard now scopes via
+`conrelid = '<table>'::regclass`.
+
+### 5. `describe.skipIf(flagSetInBeforeAll)` skips **always**
+
+Vitest evaluates `skipIf` at collection time. Ten tests reported green while
+skipping against a live, reachable ClickHouse. Replaced with the repo's
+env-var gate, which **fails** when the variable is set and the server is down.
+
+---
+
+## What is NOT proven
+
+- **BI-P029 / MetricFlow was never executed.** No Python runtime is
+  provisioned for this repo's CI, and BI-P029's "pin a currently verified
+  version" needs a licence and supply-chain review that has not happened.
+  `MetricFlowProvider.providerReadiness()` returns `verified: false` and names
+  all four open items. What _is_ proven is that the engine-neutral spec
+  compiles to a MetricFlow-shaped query and that canonical SIAX metric ids
+  survive a provider swap — tested against a second, deliberately
+  different-named provider so the equality is not trivially true.
+- **The Superset integration path and the AI Analyst comparison** (BI-P029's
+  other two DoD surfaces) are not implemented.
+- **dbt is not run here.** `DBT_RUNTIME_PIN` has both review flags `false`, and
+  `assertDbtRuntimeCertified` refuses a production run until they are true.
+- **DuckDB Arrow IPC** is unproven: the `arrow` extension is a network install
+  the offline environment could not download. `readiness()` says so.
+- **BI-P021's budget is a bound, not a hard cap.** In-flight enforcement is
+  granular to the poll interval. Measured: a 1,000,000-row window cancelled the
+  query at **130,883,409 rows**, 92 ms in — a 130× overshoot. Still a bound
+  (unwatched, the same query read 6.5 billion rows in one second), but anyone
+  quoting it as a hard cap is wrong.
+- **The per-process window store does not bind across replicas.**
+  `describeEnforcement()` reports `"with N replicas a tenant can spend up to N
+times this budget"`. A shared store (Valkey, or the CL0UD quota service)
+  behind `SharedWindowStore` is required for it to bind.
+
+---
+
+## Running the live suites
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name ch -p 28123:8123 -e CLICKHOUSE_SKIP_USER_SETUP=1 \
+  clickhouse/clickhouse-server:24.8
+docker run -d --name pg -p 25433:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=test \
+  -e POSTGRES_DB=opt postgres:16-alpine
+
+CLICKHOUSE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:28123 pnpm vitest run tests/integration
+ANALYTICS_TEST_DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:test@127.0.0.1:25433/opt \
+  pnpm vitest run tests/analytics/analytics-governance-postgres.realinfra.test.ts
+
+python -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install duckdb pyarrow 'pyiceberg[sql-sqlite]'
+DUCKDB_PYTHON=.venv/bin/python pnpm vitest run tests/duckdb
+```
+
+Every one of these **fails** rather than skipping when its variable is set and
+the backend is unreachable.
+
+---
+
+## One note for whoever maintains `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`
+
+Not changed here — it is a protected file, and this branch touched none.
+
+The integration job's guard is:
+
+```sh
+if grep -qE "skipped" /tmp/itest.log && ! grep -qE "Tests  [0-9]+ passed" /tmp/itest.log
+```
+
+Vitest writes that summary with ANSI colour codes, so the literal text is
+`Tests [22m [1m[32m81 passed[39m…`. The second pattern therefore **never
+matches**, and the guard is effectively "any skip fails the job" rather than
+the "skipped _and_ nothing passed" it reads as. That is stricter than intended,
+not looser, so nothing is currently unguarded — but the escape hatch does not
+work, and someone will eventually be puzzled by it. Piping through
+`sed 's/\x1b\[[0-9;]*m//g'` before the grep would restore the intended
+behaviour.
+
+This is how the DuckDB suite's placement was caught, so the guard earned its
+keep either way.
