[FIX] He was reciting his own examples, not watching the session — steward caught it

Measured before agreeing: three of five recent outputs were near-verbatim lifts from the
seven sample lines the soul carries. "Somebody's going to inherit that and think it was
easy" and "It'll outlast you, not by much" are not observations; they are the prompt
being handed back.

⚠ THIS REINTRODUCED PRECISELY WHAT AMENDMENT 6 RULED OUT. Type-only canned strings were
rejected there because they "make a mood ring — atmosphere within a fortnight", and the
material was settled as the live session for that reason. The implementation then let
canned strings back in through the one door nobody was watching: the illustrative
examples inside the register itself. The doctrine was right and the wiring undid it.

Two fixes, because a prompt instruction alone is a promise. The prompts now mark the
samples as illustrations of REGISTER, NOT VOCABULARY, and add the operative test — if
the line would suit any other session equally well, it is wrong. And a mechanical net:
echoes_soul() rejects a 4-word run shared with any sample line, or a 6-word run shared
with the soul's prose. Checked against samples rather than the whole soul at n=4 because
the soul's prose shares ordinary 4-grams with ordinary English, and a net firing on those
would silence him for speaking normally.

Fixtures are the REAL measured lifts, not invented ones, with two of his own lines as
negative controls.

⚠ This TIGHTENS the net; silence-on-violation is untouched and still absolute.

Verified after: he now speaks about this session, including about this very defect.
