The env-var binary validation from vibeforge1111#284 (block arbitrary execution via a
malicious/stale CODEX_PATH / SPARK_CODEX_PATH) landed, but it ran inside
_default_codex_binary() at module import (DEFAULT_CODEX_PATH = ...), so a
stale CODEX_PATH crashed every importer of codex_provider — including eval
drivers that never touch the codex backend.

Split resolution from validation:
- _default_codex_binary() now only resolves (expands ~, picks the platform
  fallback) and never raises, so import is always safe.
- new validate_codex_binary() performs the isfile() check, scoped to an
  explicit env-supplied path, and is invoked at call time in call_codex()
  and codex_available(). Bare PATH lookups ("codex") stay a no-op.

Preserves the security guarantee of vibeforge1111#284 (an explicit, non-regular-file
path is still blocked before exec) while removing the import-time crash.
Closes the systemic group with vibeforge1111#288/vibeforge1111#290 (duplicates).

…chain attacks

Pinned pip install targets from mutable '@master' to specific commit
11c1d2d to prevent arbitrary code
execution if upstream repository is compromised.

- evals/auto_loop.py (line 129)
- evals/lowest_tier_watch.py (line 194)
