Cut 15 fix batch 2: operator directions reach Soul; fix batches and mutations

Self's triage of Soul pass 2 on 272f5ca:
- Soul's rehydrate runs rulings in force, so standing operator directions
  (including ones admitted after the spec) reach it, and it claims against
  them. A verdict claim has no ruling reference, so Soul starts the claim
  text with the ruling id; recorded as a substrate gap (epiphany-pipeline).
- Gaps table: a cold semantic embed exceeds the client's 15 s deadline
  (Huginn, with the embedder).
- Self does not TaskStop an agent halted on Unavailable; it holds the
  unadmitted record and is resumed when the organ answers.
- A fix batch's cut_report is the next attempt on the finding's in-force
  cut_spec, on that spec's branch; landing elsewhere needs a revised spec
  first (SKILL step 5, Hands brief).
- mutations holds survivors plus the kills Soul should rerun (at most 64);
  totals go in verification evidence.
- InvalidInput and TooLarge are caller-fixable and retried after fixing
  the call; only Unavailable after a retry and other errors stop.
