Require the PQRST record only on finished seats

Browse source 
A draft may now sit without its estimate while the author is still writing,
exactly as it may sit without its portrait — the hall's existing rule, which the
first implementation did not mirror. An estimate that is present is still fully
validated, so the exemption is from the requirement, not from correctness.

Also corrects the adoption date in ENTRY.md and AGENTS.md: the docs said
2026-09-05, the checker has always used 2026-09-06.

Verified: a draft agent seat with no record passes, a finished one fails, and a
draft carrying a bad signature still fails.

`harness` when those facts are known. Write `not exposed` rather than
guess. Humans omit those fields.
