fix(search): honor sources.config.federated in unqualified local CLI search/query (#2561)

A source registered with `gbrain sources add --federated` was invisible to
an unqualified `gbrain search`/`gbrain query`: the local CLI always emitted
a scalar {sourceId} scope, and nothing on the read path ever consulted
sources.config.federated — contradicting docs/guides/multi-source-brains.md
('Source participates in unqualified gbrain search results').

Fix, at the trusted-local boundary only:
- src/cli.ts makeContext resolves the source WITH its tier and, when the
  tier is non-explicit (local_path / brain_default / sole_non_default /
  seed_default), computes ctx.localFederatedSourceIds = [resolved source,
  ...other config.federated=true sources] (archived excluded).
- New federatedSearchScope (operations.ts) delegates to
  resolveRequestedScope, then widens an unqualified trusted-local scalar
  scope to that set. Used by the search + query handlers only.
- Expansion NEVER applies when ctx.remote !== false (fail-closed source
  isolation), when a per-call source_id/__all__ is passed, when an OAuth
  grant (allowedSources) is present, or when --source/GBRAIN_SOURCE/dotfile
  named the source explicitly.

Deliberately NOT inside sourceScopeOpts: code-intel ops reject multi-source
scopes (resolveCodeIntelScope) and non-search reads keep their scalar
behavior. Cache contamination is already handled — cacheScopeKey folds
sourceIds sets into the query-cache key.

Fixes #2561
