CB-REV-0003: round 3, and three of four FATAL came from round 2's fixes
The pattern is now measured over three rounds: 5 fatal, then 3 (2 from the
previous round's corrections), then 4 (3 from them). The corrections are
not getting safer.

FATAL 1: round 2's short-cell assertion went into regulation.rs only.
attack-value.rs — which produced every number in CB-EV-0030's DARVO table
— still just warned, and the gate registered to close the finding claimed
the property for both.

FATAL 2, the sharpest of the three rounds: counting games proves they
STARTED. Stopping the engine after one round gives 200 games, all-zero
columns and exit 0 — byte for byte the signature CB-EV-0030 says the
instrumentation distinguishes from a real result. Both harnesses now
require every counted game to have reached an outcome over five rounds.

FATAL 3: round 2's `.csv` filter was applied to all three loops, so
catalog.yaml and rules_delta.yaml — whose missing digests were round 1's
finding — were recorded and then never compared, and never checked against
upstream at all. Only the parser loop filters now.

FATAL 4: five of six tiebreak comparators had no coverage. GR-E04's
tiebreak never executes in any scenario. All four are now covered and
mutation-verified; the Blame key needed compensating claims to be
reachable at all, since Blame also lowers the coalition score.

SERIOUS: "peak held" computed the same number as "peak assigned" for every
possible input — the real gap was that START_STRESS was an unchecked
constant, now read off the dealt state; cadence="none" was a pure
loophole, removed; sibling discovery swapped a hand-written list for
hand-written globs and missed metadata.json and VARIANT.md, both named in
the package's own changed_files — now walked, and it found them
immediately; and "~72,000 games" was unsourced, make panels runs 17,600.

Also separated two kinds of number that were presented alike: seats×games
is invariant, 363 and 29 vary 7.1%-11.5% across samples.

Round 4 owed. The conclusion is not that the work is nearly right — it is
that author-made corrections to measurement work should be assumed
defective until a fresh reader has attacked them.
