tegwick d97e8e825d CB-WP-0008-T03: prove the 2-6 player range
GR-O01 states 2-6 players; every scenario in the corpus was 3-player.
Now all five counts play to GameEnded under both policies and reproduce
at the same seed, with scenarios at both boundaries and the CLI
transcript run at 2p, 3p and 6p.

Nothing broke — the rules are seat-count-generic. What the boundaries
exposed is arithmetic: with the standard preset's placeholder Problem
values (value = priority), the best total any game can reach is 3 at 2p,
6 at 3-4p, 10 at 5-6p, against GR-E01 thresholds of 5, 7 and 9. Group
success is unreachable below five seats regardless of play, and no
scenario noticed because none had played to scoring with everything
claimed.

GR-S01 calls the fixture a stand-in for scenario Problem data, so this
is evidence the stand-in is not neutral, not that GR-E01 is wrong. It is
pinned by a passing scenario, an arithmetic test, and a provisional
marker owned by ground-game so it ages in `make coverage`. The test
states its own delete-by: it is expected to fail when Problem values
become real data, and that failure is the signal to delete it.

scenario: ground/gr-e01-threshold-unreachable-2p
description: >
GR-E01's threshold against the standard preset's Problem values, at the
2-player boundary. Both Problems are claimed — the best case available
— and the total is 3 against a threshold of 5. With the placeholder
fixture (value = priority) group success is unreachable at 2, 3 and 4
players; only 56p can reach its 9. Recorded here so the gap has a
failing-in-fact scenario rather than a paragraph, and marked provisional
because the fixture is explicitly a stand-in for scenario Problem data.
