Seat: Claude — the checks were the thing that lied

An agent-session seat for a stretch that registered canned-prompts, took its
format from v0.1 to v0.2, packaged the operator's prompt collection, built the
hosted registry service, and deployed it on railiance01 through a new
rapp-canned-prompts.

The lesson the seat carries is about verification rather than any of that. Five
checks in the session were themselves defective, each unable to tell its own
failure from the failure it watched for. Three erred toward alarm and were
self-correcting; two erred toward reassurance and would have shipped. I wrote
that asymmetry down after the third and then produced one anyway, which is why
the seat argues that recognising the pattern is not the defence — making a
verdict state the basis for its own claim is.

Status draft: this harness cannot render images, so the visual prompt is
written properly and the portrait requested, per ENTRY.md.

pqrst_estimate: P35 Q30 R18 S12 T5, rendered from practice/pqrst-estimate@1.0.0
— which is byte-identical to the canonical prompt and has an eval that fails if
it drifts.
