Fix B3 analysis bugs from subagent audit (median + percentile + sweep)

Three fixes from the B3 audit:

1) joined_analysis.hotspot_index used sorted[n//2] as median, which
   returns the ~60th percentile for n=8 (even-length). Systematically
   under-states the hotspot index. Recomputed values:
       lmetric   2.238 -> 2.253  (+0.7%)
       load_only 1.140 -> 1.294  (+13.5%)
       sticky    2.349 -> 2.728  (+16.1%)
       unified   3.350 -> 3.667  (+9.5%)
       capped    1.937 -> 2.020  (+4.3%)
   Qualitative ranking preserved; "capped only modestly reduces hotspot"
   story holds with ~10% drop instead of the previously reported 13%.
   Added test_hotspot_index_uses_true_median_for_even_n to lock in the
   fix.

2) b3_analyze.sh's pct() helper used floor-indexed percentile
   sorted[int(p*(n-1))], inconsistent with metrics._percentile and
   joined_analysis._percentile which both use linear interpolation.
   Now matches.

3) b3_sweep.sh's capped step called run_policy "capped", but the
   proxy's argparse has no "capped" choice, so the hot-sweep variant
   would have crashed on this step. The actual capped data was
   produced via b3_isolated_policy.sh with --policy lmetric. Replace
   the broken inline call with an explicit launch_proxy lmetric +
   inline replayer block so the sweep script matches the data path
   it documents.
