Part of #325. Follows #867.

What changes

Published 2.11.7 gives the intended answers at both of bridge-adapters' published-defect steps:

• a bridge update to an SDK-worker workflow is accepted and deduplicated (Bridge adapter update_workflow skips external update admission, so SDK-worker updates are always rejected #747);
• a start for an instance another namespace holds is refused as unavailable (Bridge adapters: foreign-instance type disclosure, non-atomic dedupe and colliding update keys, unbounded adapter name #777).

So the published-defect answers of 2.11.1 to 2.11.5 are no longer accepted:

• the fixture drops published_defects;
• the contract compares every step exactly;
• the stored contract observation is the 2.11.7 recording;
• the unit test now refuses the old answers.

The other four fixtures with published-defect tolerances keep them. 2.11.7 still gives the published answers there: cancellation-scopes, record-local-activity, workflow-import (#765) and worker-sessions.

Local checks

• The 2.11.7 survey recording of bridge-adapters equals the fixture's expected exactly. The new stored observation differs from the old one only at the five defect steps.
• bridge-adapters passes the exact contract on a 2.11.7 harness and on native (built from Rust #325: move the parity reference to published Server 2.11.7 #867's head), and compare accepts the pair.
• Node unit suite: 6366 pass. The one failure is the PhpImageContextTest local false failure, which fails the same way on a clean main checkout here.
