Record the play agent rulings: six forks, Ruled facts, minted loot

The operator accepted the map's recommendation on PA-Q1, Q3, Q7, Q10, Q12
and Q13 on 2026-09-22. The operator also ruled PA-Q15: the play authority's
facts stand as Ruled, and it mints quantity without evidence ("if the agent
can invent people, it can invent loot"). Only Play gains either;
elaborators, consumers and the seed keep the evidence gate.

The target now lists the library's fourth piece (the table vocabulary and
inference seams) and the affordance grants. Invariant 5 gains Ruled facts
and minting, and invariant 8 shows the kernel's refusal of the player's own
act. Cut 3 still specifies the superseded PlayCarriesEvidence refusal and
is being respecified.

### PA-Q15 What the play authority may assert and mint
- **Asked:** 2026-09-22, from PA.f7: the play authority could state no fact
of its own (a fact is `Canonical` with an evidence receipt, or `Claimed`
by a subject) and could mint no quantity (`Admit` requires evidence), so
the residue rule (anything untyped becomes a fact) had no standing for the
agent's rulings.
- **Ruling:** the play authority's facts stand as `Ruled` by it, and the
play authority mints quantity. The operator: "shackling the Ghostlight
Dungeon agent to Njordr's invariants is crazy, if the agent can invent
people, it can invent loot." Only `Play` gains either. Elaborators,
consumers and the seed keep the evidence gate, so a consumer feeding
Njordr keeps quantity provenance.
