Vault tracker: close the capture gaps before wrapping the mini-project

Steward asked to be absolutely sure everything was in a tracker. Checked each
reported item mechanically rather than by impression; six were absent.

Now in the tracker: verified counts (1,315 live / 1,077 archived / 2,392, vs
the stale 1,298); the daybook-cue build-fail-rebuild and its PENDING-156 link;
the Corrections slot; nested 99. Archives undecided; petrification detection
unbuilt; purpose 2 false for the jurist; the purposes 1-vs-3 tension; and the
steward-owned Atlas entries.

NEW item 0, untracked anywhere until today: photographed pages of physical BOOKS
with margin notes, owed by the steward. A different object from the three
notebooks the provenance reference covers. Flagged as plausibly chamber work
rather than vault work -- a margin note is a reading-index, and the sidecar
typology already rules those protocol-dependent and probably plural, so the
owning project is decided before anything is built.

Also: the MEMORY.md index line was carrying state the tracker did not hold
("paper bridge working") and one claim that went stale the day it was written
("the capture workflow has not been started" -- it started 2026-08-23). The
enabling fact moved into the tracker; the index line is a pointer again.

wake-digest: 395 pointers, 0 dead, 0 mis-authored.
