fix(shapes): the capped meaning pass reads new shapes first, and its miss withdraws an early flag (#4208)
Measured on the first live refresh after 91cde6c deployed: the version bump
queued 1,533 rows for the semantic arm, the cap read 150 of them in row
order, and all six shapes new since the previous refresh - the only rows
flag_divergence acts on, and the highest ids - were flagged before the arm
reached them. The gate silenced nothing because it never got to look, and
since a flag persists until judged, a later conclusive miss could not take
it back.

- propose_for_repo sorts the semantic todo by _semantic_priority:
  unclassified before scoped, newest first.
- flag_divergence withdraws a standing flag when the row now carries a
  conclusive miss; that evidence alone withdraws one.

"""A divergence prompt may be silenced by MEANING, never by silence (#4208).
WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. #4204 gave the divergence check a structural gate: a canon
is only urged on a shape whose form could plausibly BE it. That silenced one of
the five false prompts it was filed for. The other four are `def` helpers in a
directory whose canon is an `async def` service unit — callables beside a
callable — and no refinement of `shape_form` ever separates them, because they
differ from #2793's acceptance case (a hand-rolled sync `confirmDanger` where
an async confirm helper is canon) only by the JOB they do. A signature does not
carry a job.
So the lever has to be meaning, and the ledger already holds one reading of it:
the proposer's semantic arm embeds each definition's own BODY against canon.
What it did not do was record its misses. A hit became `proposal_basis =
"semantic"`; a miss left the row indistinguishable from a row nobody had looked
at yet. `flag_divergence` could therefore ask the proposer "do you agree this is
the canon?" but never "did you check, and did you find it is not?".
THE WHOLE RISK IS IN THE NEGATIVE. A miss is only evidence if the arm actually
formed an opinion, and there are three ways for it to come back empty that look
identical from the outside:
body too thin to embed -> no opinion
no allowed canon to test -> no opinion
result set was truncated -> no opinion (the canon may be at N+1)
compared, nothing above the floor -> EVIDENCE
Only the last may silence a prompt. Reading any of the others as a negative is
how "I cannot tell" turns into "I checked" — the exact failure #4204 was opened
on, and the one `FORM_UNKNOWN` already guards against everywhere else in this
module: not knowing must make a check QUIETER, never more confident.
These tests pin the report contract that carries that distinction. The
end-to-end behaviour — a conclusive miss silencing a real prompt while #2793's
acceptance case still raises — is in
tests/test_integration_shape_classify.py, because it needs real rows.
