Soul's merge-gate third pass (SM-7) found three live mutants: dropping
to.schemaId/to.recordKey from the edge comparator (both runtimes) and
dropping recordKey from Rust's row comparator (named a pass ago, never
touched). Hands' earlier argument that no selection ties from+role while
leaving to free to vary was false - a selection carrying both cites and
cited mixes their edges into one bucket, and a self-citing peer produces
exactly that tie. Take the counterexample from Soul's rig rather than
rebuilding it, and add the missing row-comparator recordKey tiebreak test.
