T10: InnerLoop v1.2 — hardening does not converge, so optimize correction
The retrospective question was whether the mechanism set is complete or
each pass still finds a new class. This pass produced both an eighth
instance AND a fourth class, so the answer is the uncomfortable one.

Ledger: 10 instances, 4 classes, across 3 workplans. Every pass has
produced at least one class the previous pass had not seen.

  HDN harness-does-nothing      5   executable assertions
  TA  trusted arithmetic        3   re-derivation
  SSB same-sample blind spot    1   assertions over ALL the data
  DFD duplicated-fact drift     2   NEW -- reading a copy against source

DFD is genuinely distinct: no positive control catches it, because both
copies are internally consistent, and re-derivation does not either,
because the copy faithfully reproduces what it was copied from. Found
when an inlined price sheet went stale within an hour of T11 changing
the real one.

So v1.2 stops trying to enumerate classes in advance. Every error in
three passes was corrected in-session for under ~1% of the pass, so the
stated design goal is now cheap CORRECTION: keep raw data so numbers are
re-derivable, keep artifacts small and committed so a wrong number is
one grep from everywhere quoting it, give every number a command.

Plus the one rule the new class earns: single source of fact.

The original hypothesis is revised rather than confirmed. "A rule that
cannot be executed is not a rule" is wrong -- the two most valuable
corrections in the project came from a decorative rule that cannot be
automated (re-derive inherited numbers). An executable rule fires
reliably and catches one class; a decorative one fires unreliably and
can catch any class, including unnamed ones. Keep both.

Gates this pass: loop-lint caught 3 real violations on first run, then
failed on its own author within the hour when a T07 edit pushed
InnerLoop.md to 407 lines against its own 400 limit.

CB-WP-0003 complete: 11 of 11 tasks done.
