[PATCH] verification/rvgen: reject ambiguous state/event transitions

[heath]

The rvgen generator builds a transition function indexed by source state
and event. If a DOT specification contains different destinations for
one key, the generator silently chooses one. Parsed transitions are
set-derived, so the choice can vary across Python hash seeds for an
unchanged specification.

Reject duplicate (state, event) keys after sorting the parsed 
transitions,
before synthesizing a monitor. This uses constant auxiliary memory and
does not depend on the INVALID_STATE sentinel. Both deterministic and
hybrid monitors require a unique destination for each state/event pair.

Add deterministic and hybrid negative fixtures. On the pinned Linux 
tree,
the original rvgen suite passes 30/30 tests and the patched suite passes
32/32; both malformed specifications are rejected across 64 seeded
processes. Fifteen existing models retain identical transition matrices.

OpenAI GPT-6 assisted in identifying the issue, producing and refining
the code and tests, and drafting this submission. I reviewed the patch
and accept responsibility for the contribution.
