Subject: [PATCH] DRY pass #3: checklist near-misses live in the grammar
 fixture (#5373)

test_notes.py and derive.rs each kept the same six lines of prose that look
like a checklist item. Four were already task_lines cases in grammar.json;
the other two (empty brackets, no bullet) join them, so the web suite now
tests them too, and both hand lists go.
