GROUND-WP-0002: add T05, the ten underdetermined points

Browse source 
clay-borg messaged this repo on 2026-07-30 with ten rules points the
dataset does not decide (U1-U10), each simulated under a provisional
default, asking for confirm-or-correct per item. Four days later it was
still unread, because there was nowhere for it to land.

U2 (stress clamping), U6 (same-round Bond-Support vs DARVO step order)
and U8 (GROUND-OU cancelling an Attack before Protection is consumed)
are the three that change play -- each decides whether a DARVO stage
fires at all. The rest are edge cases or confirmations.

T03's six provisional scenarios are the scenarios that ENCODE these
defaults, so T05 comes first and T03 becomes the check that nothing was
missed.

| | question | the default clay-borg simulates |
|---|---|---|
| **U1** | Bond-acceptance timing | the target decides during Support resolution, post-reveal |
| **U2** | Stress clamping | clamp on **every** application, not only at End — this changes when DARVO triggers mid-round |
| **U3** | DENY with no legal target | no-op; the sequence still advances |
| **U4** | Solution deck exhaustion | deterministic reshuffle of the discard, else skip the draw |

Six engine scenarios are tagged `provisional: true` with
`provisional_owner: ground-game`. Each encodes a default the engine had to
pick because the rules did not say. A ruling flips the scenario; it does
not change the kernel.
