Add split-loop-with-lambda learning hour: draft, pre-factored exercise, solution

- Samman learning hour: 5/5/10/25/5 outline; pairs stop at extracted
  method taking the lambda as a parameter
- exercise/java: pre-factored variant of the kata (Q1/Q4 dead branch
  stripped, dates as constant), approval test red/flaky by design
- exercise/solution: collectExpectedWeather(LongFunction<Boolean>) +
  no-arg overload; deterministic approval test (all-sunny lambda)
- rehearse-with-agent.md: rehearsal setup with qwen + java-refactoring-mcp

# Reference solution — end state after step 3
Derived from [IceCreamForecasting-Refactoring-Kata](https://github.com/emilybache/IceCreamForecasting-Refactoring-Kata)
(same license as the kata applies to the copied `IceCream.java`).
Run with `mvn test` — the approval test passes deterministically without
touching the weather service.
## What changed vs the exercise start
1. Weather loop extracted to `collectExpectedWeather(LongFunction<Boolean>)`
— a static method whose only "unwanted dependency" is the lambda parameter.
2. Public no-arg `longRangeForecast()` delegates to a new overload that takes
the weather function, keeping existing callers working.
3. Test passes a pure lambda (`daysForward -> true`) — the original test
called the no-arg method and was flaky because of `Scorer`'s `Random`.
## Variations to try (for the debrief or a second round)
- `daysForward -> false` (no sunny holidays): scores drop to `+10` only.
- `daysForward -> daysForward == 5` (exactly one sunny holiday, and it is not
`expectedWeather.get(1)`, so no `+2`): all flavours `10`.
- Delete the `scorer.updateSelection()` call inside the production lambda:
the approved file does not change — the forecast never reads `Scorer.flavour`.
- Variation end state: skip the overload; make `collectExpectedWeather`
package-private and test it directly with pure lambdas. Trade-off:
tests the pure slice but not the composition (scoring loop).
