Shay c1d08ff9d5 feat(curriculum): sealed-practice producer for curriculum serving (Phase C)
Builds the producer `chat/curriculum_serve_license.py` already named as the
only writer of the ledger it reads — `evals.curriculum_serve.practice.runner
.seal_ledger` — which did not exist. Until now, authoring curriculum could
not earn a license at any volume.

A band's case space is ENUMERATED, not authored: every exam question that
routes to that subject (resolve_domain) whose relation is in that family, one
committed case per distinct query atom. So `committed == distinct` is not a
property the generator maintains, it is the same fact twice — the structural
form of ADR-0264 R9, and why this producer cannot develop the deduction
producer's exposure (CASES_PER_BAND=720 filled from spaces as small as 28).
CASES_PER_BAND=660 follows `evals/determination_estimation` per
DIVISION-OF-WORK §4: a ceiling on committed volume, not a quota.

11 bands, wrong=0, inflation 1.0 everywhere.

THE LEDGER IS DELIBERATELY NOT COMMITTED. The plan's Phase-1 exit criterion
asked for "a real (still-unearned) ledger"; that state is unreachable.
Reliability is commitment precision and a correct UNKNOWN is a commitment, so
conservative_floor(660,660)=0.990046 clears theta_SERVE on non-commitments
alone. Sealing today licenses FOUR bands on evidence that is 99.0%-99.98%
correct non-commitment — which ADR-0262 §5.1 rules unacceptable and which
ClassTally structurally cannot see (no verdict axis). Writing the artifact is
therefore a ratification and belongs to Phase D's explicit human-run verb.
The open outcome-mix ruling is now blocking, not academic.

Two corrections to my own earlier records, both measured:

- ADR-0264 §4.2 sized bands from per-TERM exclusivity; the router's predicate
  is per-PAIR, which is looser. Every ceiling was understated, and
  systems_software_causal is 720 not 630 — flipping it from "cannot reach
  657" to "can". 4 of 11 bands can reach the floor, not 3. Now pinned as
  measured values in BAND_ATOM_SPACE.
- `then` and `therefore` are taught philosophy_theology lemmas AND control
  words of the argument reader (`therefore` is the conclusion marker). 164
  routable atoms refuse compiled_premises_unreadable — coverage misses, never
  wrongs — in the band Phase F retargets to. The vocabulary boundary is not
  screened against the reader's grammar; a pack teaching and/or/not/if would
  open a much larger hole the same way. Recorded, not fixed (§6.5), pinned as
  a two-lemma bound.

Registers curriculum_serve in AUDIT_SOURCES, retiring the declared `None`
that was Phase C's forcing function, and adds the producer to `deductive`.

[Verification]: in-worktree on canonical CPython 3.12.13 with `uv sync
--locked`: smoke 571 (569 + 1 test + 1 parametrization), deductive 310
(291 + 19). Mutation-checked: injecting the deduction padding pattern into
band_cases turns 5 tests red including the R9 audit and the seal guard.
curriculum_serve lane unchanged at n=32 correct=32 wrong=0 anti_recall=5;
all 11 lane SHA pins match; no ledger written, so no serving change.

"""Phase C — the curriculum practice producer (ADR-0262 solver, ADR-0264 R9 sizing).
Four things are pinned here, in decreasing order of how quietly they would fail:
1. **The ledger is not committed, and a band would earn SERVE if it were.** The
producer works; that is exactly why the artifact is a ratification. Pinned so
the reasoning cannot be lost and re-derived wrongly later.
2. **`then` / `therefore` collide with the argument reader's grammar.** Two taught
`philosophy_theology` lemmas are the reader's own control words, so 164 routable
atoms refuse `compiled_premises_unreadable`. Coverage misses, never wrongs — but
in the band Phase F retargets to.
3. **`committed == distinct` by construction**, not by discipline.
4. **wrong=0** over the capped corpus, per band.
