Adds task-prompt diversity (Xiao 2022 / CAST) without touching
``meta/tasks.parquet`` or forcing recipes to opt in. The plan reserved
``task_aug`` as a future style; this lands it now.
- ``language.py``: add ``task_aug`` to ``CORE_STYLES`` and
``PERSISTENT_STYLES``. ``column_for_style("task_aug")`` returns
``language_persistent`` so PR 2 writers route it correctly.
- ``language_render.py``: ``_resolve_task`` now consults the persistent
slice for rows of ``style="task_aug", role="user"``. When any exist
it picks one deterministically by ``sample_idx`` (blake2b-keyed, not
Python's randomized hash) so an epoch sees every rephrasing of every
episode while the same sample still resolves identically across
reruns. Falls back to the canonical ``meta/tasks.parquet`` task when
no rephrasings are present, so existing datasets and unannotated runs
keep their behaviour. Explicit ``task=`` overrides still win.
- Tests: rephrasing coverage across samples, determinism on repeat
``sample_idx``, fallback when persistent has no ``task_aug`` rows,
and explicit override priority.
Recipes get this for free: any ``${task}`` placeholder rotates through
the available rephrasings. Recipes that want the literal canonical task
can override the binding.

Motion primitives are described in robot-frame (joint / Cartesian) terms,
not pixel space, so they are camera-agnostic. Only `vqa` (event) and
`trace` (event, pixel-trajectory) are view-dependent.
The `camera` field stays on PERSISTENT_ROW_FIELDS for schema symmetry —
the validator, resolver, and HF feature mapping behave identically across
the two columns regardless of which styles populate `camera` today —
but persistent rows now always have `camera=None` in practice.

Adds a nullable `camera` field to the language row struct (both persistent
and event variants) so view-dependent styles like `vqa` can carry which
`observation.images.*` view they were grounded against. Without this,
multi-camera datasets ended up with multiple `(vqa, role)` rows at the
same timestamp that the resolver could not disambiguate.
- `language.py`: add `camera` to PERSISTENT_ROW_FIELDS / EVENT_ROW_FIELDS,
to both Arrow struct types and the HF datasets feature mappings;
introduce VIEW_DEPENDENT_STYLES = {vqa, motion, trace} plus
`is_view_dependent_style` and `validate_camera_field` helpers (camera
required iff style is view-dependent).
- `language_render.py`: thread an optional `camera=` kwarg through every
resolver (`active_at`, `emitted_at`, `nth_prev`, `nth_next`) and through
`_matching_rows` / `_select_*`, so recipes can disambiguate per-camera
VQA with `emitted_at(t, style=vqa, role=assistant, camera=...)`.
Without a `camera` filter, multi-row matches keep raising the existing
ambiguity error — which is the desired behaviour on multi-camera data.
- `recipes/pi05_hirobot.yaml`: replace the single `ask_vqa` branch with
`ask_vqa_top` and `ask_vqa_wrist` per-camera sub-recipes (each carrying
the matching image block), keeping the original 0.20 budget and
documenting the customization point for datasets with different cameras.
- Tests: schema test asserts the new field order; new tests cover
`is_view_dependent_style`, `validate_camera_field` (both required and
forbidden directions), per-camera `emitted_at` filtering, and the
ambiguity error when two cameras emit `(vqa, assistant)` at the same
timestamp without a `camera=` filter. RenderMessagesStep + dataset
passthrough fixtures updated to include the new field.
- `docs/source/language_and_recipes.mdx`: document the `camera` field,
the per-camera resolver pattern, and the canonical recipe convention.

Promote the previously-reserved motion/trace styles to first-class core
styles. motion routes to language_persistent (it tracks robot state over
time); trace routes to language_events (single-moment annotations).
