fix(critical): complementary market family grouping + Manifold inversion guard

FASE 1 — market_family_key() general election fix
General elections now group by office, not by party, so complementary
markets ("Republicans win Ohio governor" / "Democrats win Ohio governor")
share the same family key (ohio-gubernatorial-2026).  The second market
is blocked by the occupied_families check rather than traded as independent.

Primaries still keep the party (texas-republican-2026) because each party
runs its own separate primary race.

FASE 2 — Manifold party inversion guard
_detect_party() identifies the winning side in both the Polymarket question
and the matched Manifold title.  If they are confirmed opposites (republican
vs democrat), the probability is inverted (1 - prob) before use.

Full audit log per query:
  poly_question / manifold_title / manifold_url / match_score /
  prob_raw / inverted / prob_final

Root cause of Ohio Manifold:0.95 on both sides: both queries matched the
same Manifold market ("Republicans win Ohio governor" prob=0.95).  For the
"Democrats win" query the inversion now produces prob_final=0.05 instead of
blindly applying 0.95 to the wrong direction.

FASE 4 — startup contradiction scan
get_open_position_details() added to db.py.  main.py checks all open
positions at startup, warns on any family with >1 position, and recommends
keeping the one with the highest edge_net.  No auto-close.
