+Quick renders the loop points' own hooks (`plan:pre` here, `plan:post` in Step 5.55, `execute:pre`
+for the executor prompt, `execute:post` in Step 6.1) and keeps only the `vault`
+hooks, mechanically in each fence (D-30): no other capability's gate, step or
+fragment is run or injected by quick. The vault's gates
+therefore reach quick with no second copy of any rule (D-01). The renders pass no `--ws`: every
+`pp_run` call here resolves the same workstream ladder as the admission verb, and each trace gate's
+positional is the quick directory, which carries its own partition (D-73).
