Eval grader explains a missing focus file when publishing was not granted

Eval grading says a missing file was because publishing wasn't granted, not just absent.

What

In the internal eval harness, grader lookups now separate the sandbox run directory from a stub publish directory, and a missing focus file says that artifact publishing was not granted for the run rather than just reporting absence.

Evidence

focus file ${e.path} does not exist (artifact publishing was not granted for this run, so nothing was published)

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
