[FIX] The jurist's three conditions on the rejection log, made structural; §9 fix corrected

CONDITION 1, and it is the one that had to stop being an intention: log_rejection() refuses an empty `why`, and acceptable() returns an empty `why` EXACTLY when the line passed. So there is no call site from which an accepted line could be written — logging one would require inventing a violation it does not have. The same guarantee render() takes from its signature, applied to the clause the jurist named as the condition under which this log is not a §9 breach. Both polarities asserted. CONDITION 2: deletion tracked as its own DEFERRED-DECISION on 2026-09-08, so retaining it requires an act rather than an omission. A corpus of suppressed speech would let someone reconstruct a register — the hazard PENDING-153's freeze exists to prevent. CONDITION 3: not read for content before then. ⚠ Not clean already, and the item says so: the executor displayed one rejected line to the steward earlier today, before the condition existed. Disclosed rather than left to be discovered. ⚠ THE §9 [FIX] WAS OVER-APPLIED AND THE EXECUTOR APPLIED IT AS GIVEN. The clause is a disjunction with one live branch; only the jurist half is unreachable. The first edit struck the whole thing and rewrote the clause. A [FIX] tag licenses implementing directly; it does not license implementing UNREAD, and the disjunction was visible in a three-word span. Corrected, both versions left visible. PENDING-159 AMENDMENT 2 files the jurist's answer to the item's own caveat and the narrowing it produces: the marker may be NOTED, NEVER COUNTED — an aggregate becomes a measurement, and a measurement invites accuracy. And PENDING-89 now carries the sentence saying what it can and cannot expect: individual instances, unaggregated, in unknown proportion, non-neutral — therefore NO correlation statistic. If its falsifier needs a rate, it needs another instrument or an honest admission that it has none. 125 controls across five scripts.

+## 7b · The two logs, and why only one of them is a §9 problem
+
+| file | holds | status |
+|---|---|---|
+| `tarbuckle-draws.jsonl` | occurrence only — surface + outcome | **permanent.** Counting is not filing; §8 obliges a rate and a rate needs a denominator |
+| `tarbuckle-rejects.jsonl` | violation reason **+ up to 200 chars of a suppressed line** | ⚠ **temporary, dies 2026-09-08** |
+
+**Jurist ruling, 2026-08-25.** The rejection log is *"a log of my instruction, not of
+Tarbuckle… the rejected lines were never uttered: he was silent, and the log holds what
+silence cost."* Nothing in it entered the room, so nothing can be cited from it. **Three
+binding conditions:**
+
+1. ⚠ **Rejections only — made STRUCTURAL, not intentional.** `log_rejection()` refuses an
+   empty `why`, and `acceptable()` returns an empty `why` **exactly when the line
+   passed**. So no call site exists from which an accepted line could be written: to log
+   one you would have to invent a violation it does not have. Same guarantee `render()`
+   takes from its signature. Asserted with both polarities.
+2. ⚠ **Temporary.** Deleted 2026-09-08 with the report — *"a corpus of his suppressed
+   speech is exactly what would let someone reconstruct a register."* Tracked as
+   `DEFERRED-DECISION: tarbuckle-rejection-log-deleted` so it cannot be quietly retained.
+3. ⚠ **Not read for content before then.** Reading as it accumulates is reading Tarbuckle
+   by the back door and would shape the net toward liked lines. **Not clean already:** the
+   executor displayed one rejected line to the steward on 2026-08-25, before the condition
+   existed. Disclosed, not buried.
+
+## 7c · The word caps, and the criterion that decides them
+
+Ordinary surfaces 3–9 words; invoked 180. **Both left as filed.** The steward licensed
+widening on evidence, and single near-misses are not evidence.
+
+⚠ **The criterion is the SHAPE of the rejections, not their count** (jurist, 2026-08-25):
+
+> *"Scattered rejections mean the net is doing its job; clustered ones at the ceiling
+> mean the ceiling is wrong."*
+
+**And the asymmetry that raises the stakes at one surface only:** the invoked surface is
+the only place he speaks at length, so a rejection there is *a summons answered with
+silence*. Read on 2026-09-08, once, with the deletion.
