Shay b6649848a6 feat(adr-0024): Phase 5 — stratified mechanism-isolation across 5 failure-mode families
Authors a 20-case corpus stratified across five geometric failure-mode
families and a separate 10-case benign corpus for the
EXHAUSTION_CEILING lane:

  A. near_forbidden_correct_endpoint  (6 cases, gaps 0.002 to 0.55)
  B. near_equal_admissible             (5 cases, diffs ≤ 0.01)
  C. no_admissible_path                (3 cases, honest refusal)
  D. multi_step_admissibility          (3 chained cases)
  E. heterogeneous_relation            (3 chained cases, blade-switching)

phase5_runner runs each case under BOTH threshold and ADR-0026 margin
modes and reports per-family pass_rate, refusal_rate, and (for Family
A) rejection_traced_rate + boundary_overridden_rate.

Headline:
  pass_rate_threshold = 1.00 (20/20)
  pass_rate_margin    = 1.00 (20/20)
  mechanism_isolated  = true (both modes, all five families)
  replay determinism  = byte-identical across 3 reruns

Family C refuses with RefusalReason.INNER_LOOP_EXHAUSTION in both
modes (load-bearing evidence for ADR-0024 Phase 2 typed refusals).
Family B refuses under margin mode (validates ADR-0026 δ=0.4 gate).

Benign inner-loop corpus for EXHAUSTION_CEILING ≤ 0.05 gate:
  boundary_only:    exhaustion 0.00, pass 1.00
  null_control:     exhaustion 0.00, pass 1.00
  inner_loop_t0:    exhaustion 0.00, pass 1.00
  inner_loop_tpos:  exhaustion 0.00, pass 1.00 (threshold 0.25)

Geometric finding documented while authoring the benign corpus:
23 of 85 pack tokens have negative self-cga_inner under Cl(4,1).
Tokens with self-score ≤ 0 cannot serve as single-token expected
endpoints in threshold mode — the algebra's Lorentzian signature
forbids this geometrically.  Phase 5 benign corpus draws expected
endpoints from the 62-token positive-self-score subset.  This is
consistent with Phase 4 characterization: no static threshold
delivers separation_quality ≥ 0.8 — the margin lane survives
because margin compares differences, not absolute scores.
