Subject: [PATCH] Cut 9: re-anchor cut3 and cut6 onto the mixed seed

9.1 changed the line those two harnesses pin, stranding five anchors including
cut6's own no-op control -- so cut6 was defending nothing until now. Same thing
the diagnostics refactor did to four harnesses earlier, and the second time in a
day that a change to Commit has stranded anchors elsewhere. The rules are
unchanged; only the text moved.

That maintenance cost is now a known property of pinning mutations to literal
source text. It buys a stale anchor failing loudly within one run, which is how
both instances were caught immediately, and it belongs in Cut 10's list beside
Soul's harness audit.
