PINK: kernel fee prediction + calibration loop

ExchangeFeeConfig in AccountState:
  taker_rate, maker_rate, lot_step, tick_size, funding_interval_secs
  calibration_ratio: EMA of actual/expected, updated on every fill

Kernel now predicts fees at fill time (PREDICTED_FILL event):
  k_capital updated immediately without waiting for WS FILL_SETTLED
  When actual fee arrives, prediction is replaced and ratio recalibrated
  Reconcile delta: 0.000000 (was ~0.9 USDT in canary without prediction)

Calibration loop on connect():
  Fetches recent fill history, validates model vs exchange actuals
  deviation < 1pct -> OK; < 5pct -> WARN; >= 5pct -> ERROR (pre-trade gate)

New FFI: dita_kernel_set_exchange_config_json, dita_kernel_calibrate_fee_json
New ExecutionKernel methods: set_exchange_config(), calibrate_fee()
pink_direct.py: loads BingX fee config on connect, calibrates before stream

131/131 offline pass.
