refactor(normalization): Phase 135 P0 - Extend plan to zero post-loop assigns

Generalize NormalizationPlan suffix detection to accept zero post-loop assignments:

Goal: Improve entry point consistency by allowing `loop + assign* + return` (N >= 0)

Implementation:
- Modified plan_box.rs detection logic (only file changed)
- Removed `post_assign_count >= 1` requirement
- Unified Phase 131 (loop + return) and Phase 132-133 (loop + assign+ + return) paths

Changes:
- src/mir/builder/control_flow/normalization/plan_box.rs:
  - Removed assignment count constraint
  - Unified pattern detection: `loop + assign* + return` (N >= 0)
- apps/tests/phase135_loop_true_break_once_post_empty_return_min.hako (new fixture)
- tools/smokes/v2/profiles/integration/apps/phase135_*.sh (new smoke tests)

Pattern support:
- Phase 131/135: loop + return only (consumed: 2, post_assign_count: 0) ✅
- Phase 132: loop + 1 assign + return (consumed: 3, post_assign_count: 1) ✅
- Phase 133: loop + N assigns + return (consumed: 2+N, post_assign_count: N) ✅

Design principles maintained:
- **Minimal change**: Only plan_box.rs modified (execute_box unchanged)
- **SSOT**: Detection logic centralized in plan_box.rs
- **Box-First**: Responsibility separation preserved (Plan/Execute)

Test results:
- Unit tests (plan_box): 9/9 PASS (2 new tests added)
- Phase 135 VM/LLVM EXE: PASS (exit code 1)
- Phase 131 regression: 2/2 PASS (path now unified)
- Phase 133 regression: 2/2 PASS
- cargo test --lib: PASS

Benefits:
- Unified entry point for all loop + post patterns
- Easier maintenance (single detection logic)
- Future extensibility (easy to add new patterns)
- Clear separation of Phase 131 and Phase 132-135 paths

Default behavior unchanged: Dev-only guard maintained
