Step 6 measured the claim the whole milestone rests on — that the notes
corpus divides into norms and constraints, with constraints a minority worth
sweeping — against a stratified sample of the real thing. It holds: ~29% in
`reference`, ~8% general, ~0-5% in `decision`, 0% in `dev-log`; roughly 6-11%
of ~395 plain notes. Written up as note 3210. The step was allowed to return
"revert" and does not.

Two things the measurement found that the guidance did not say, now added to
both the skill and the create_note docstring:

A SHARPER TEST. Every note that earned a check was about somebody ELSE's
software — a signing service, a forge, a hub, an SDK, a model, a dependency
set. Not one was about the operator's own code. "Is the thing this note
describes yours to change?" is decidable from the title in nearly every case,
where the abstract form needs thought.

THREE FALSE CANDIDATES, one of them a live hazard. Resume pointers and
"current state" notes go stale faster than anything else in the corpus, which
is exactly why they tempt — but the cure is to update or delete them, not to
schedule a check, and a sweep full of pointers is a sweep nobody reads.
Measurements of our own system go false because we changed something and knew.
And a decision RESTING on someone else's behaviour is still a decision — the
check belongs on the note asserting the fact.

Also recorded, not fixed: the corpus already contains a note titled
"CONSTRAINT: software only — no DIY hardware", using the word for a
self-imposed scope limit — a NORM in this taxonomy, exactly backwards. Both
surfaces already lead with the question rather than the label, which is the
mitigation; note 3210 names the collision so it is not rediscovered.
