-# but `maturity: stable` means a one-word status edit would drop it straight into
-# the enforce/auto-block lane. Nothing supports that placement:
-#   - Its only enforce-lane credential is wild_fp_rate: 0 on 53,577 samples dated
-#     2026/04/08. That run predates the corpus event-shape fix, so it measured a

-#     produced 8 false positives on the 5,317-sample benign gate (all from
-#     pattern [4], now repaired -- current measurement is 0).
-#   - It is an auto-predicted rule (see author), a family the safety gate refuses
-#     to auto-merge and the project treats as non-production.
-# `test` keeps it in the alert lane once someone revives it, which is where an
