A set_jet_amplitude failure while creating the internal stream marked the
Simulation failed, but the public stream property still retried
cuda.Stream(). Guard it like the other device-touching methods and add a
regression test (no retry, close still retryable). Lifecycle wording now
names the guarded device-touching methods; cached readers and host staging
stay callable. compatibility.md records the caller-visible fail-closed change.

Simulation.set_jet_amplitude validated before upload and committed host
state after it, but after an uncertain device write nothing stopped reuse.
Record the failure in Simulation._failed and refuse every public device
call except close() (FixedPatchStepper already uses status 'failed').
Invalid input stays side-effect free and retryable. Adds host fault tests
for both owners and states the rule in docs/lifecycle.md.
