[FIX] prefs: the weld test — name and procedure in the same sentence
The jurist passed the behavioural test and exposed a defect in the doctrine while doing it. I had written "Run a late refinement back across every earlier claim — the weld test" and put the operative clause (at smallest-editable-unit granularity) in the NEXT bullet, unnamed. The name sat on the half without the procedure. A corpus audit settles the sense: across PENDING/REVIEWED, "weld" means a claim fused to the directive or instrument that makes it load-bearing (5 uses). The jurist used exactly that sense, generalised from claims to sections — a correct reading of an under-specified rule, not a misreading. Merged into one bullet carrying name, procedure, granularity, and both failure instances (0 of 11 on 2026-07-27; 11 of 15 units on 2026-07-28). Ledger also records what the tests do NOT establish: two passes, both flattering, and nothing yet shows the battery can return FAIL. The negative control is owed.
