feat: Enhance generator detection and attribution mechanisms

- Introduced NoveltyDetector for detecting unseen generators using a CLIP embedding ring buffer and IsolationForest.
- Added GeneratorRegistry for monitoring generator performance and retention, flagging those below a defined threshold.
- Updated FingerprintEngine to include DCT frequency analysis and improved generator attribution logic.
- Enhanced CoherenceEngine with audio lip-sync analysis, integrating it into the video processing pipeline.
- Implemented Dempster-Shafer evidence fusion in Fuser for more robust verdicts based on multiple engine outputs.
- Revised generator labels and their corresponding prompts to align with the updated taxonomy.
- Added support for audio coherence sub-scores and timestamp markers in detection responses.
