Youssef 5b4bf7e443 Reflex gets its own grade, the Floor gets a second door, and the shots are true again
Four things the last pass left open.

Reflex findings no longer masquerade as Floor failures. They report at a new
REFLEX grade which still blocks, so nothing drifts silently, but "0 FAIL" is now
a true statement about the floor even while a build owes an argument above it.
Across every committed page that distinction turns 230 reported failures into 56
real Floor findings and 174 arguable ones, which is the number that was hiding.

The waiver cap is gone. Three-per-artifact was the restraint the tier existed to
remove: a colour-field poster that wants a black stage, achromatic neutrals, a
long measure and one face doing everything is right, and it was being blocked for
being expressive. Guards, reason quality and the log are what keep waivers honest.
Past three the build gets a NOTE saying what it now is, a house style rather than
a set of exceptions, and pointing at design.md.

The Floor has two admission criteria instead of one embarrassed exception. Door 1
is "no admired page breaks this on purpose". Door 2 is a named house rule where
admired pages do break it but a language model reaches for it unprompted on every
section. Gate 54 is the only member, listed in a table that any future addition
has to join explicitly. The apology is gone; the reasoning is in the file.

Finish findings gained a record form. `answered <check> · <reason>` parses, so a
build that reasons its way past gate 38 leaves something the next run can read
instead of prose in a comment.

Also: the skill stops mandating em and en dashes in page copy, which had it
arguing with its own house rule. The Picks block and the Step 5 preview merge into
one recital, since the same decisions were being serialised four times. The font
catalog and the per-tone voice samples become skip-unless-needed, roughly 200
lines a build. Two waiver bugs found by a cold build are fixed: "intentional
design choice" was passing the boilerplate test, and a malformed two-field waiver
was being ignored in silence.

The 18 hero captures and 14 gallery thumbnails are regenerated against the live
pages, so the README and the homepage stop advertising eyebrows the skill bans.
