session 2026-08-22: Fool superseded by the buddy pattern; seed rule filed pre-beacon; Thistleweld recovered

PENDING-149..154 filed, REVIEWED-125 + AMENDMENT 1 placed. §4 steps 1-4 filed
and pushed three days ahead of the 2026-08-25 beacon, with two values caught
that would have failed on the day. Thistleweld recovered from the un-pruned
memory layer and frozen until after the soul.
