Subject: [PATCH] build(packaging): exclude guardrail_benchmarks fixtures from
 wheel (durable MAX_PATH fix)

Per reviewer feedback: the recurring Windows MAX_PATH abort root-causes to test/eval fixtures shipping in the wheel. Drop the whole guardrail_benchmarks tree from the distribution via uv source-exclude while keeping fixtures in-repo for the eval suite.
