correct the vouch state: the operator vouched 0.208.0 DURING this session

Recorded on arrival as 0.207.0, re-read from live hub_settings at the end and it is 0.208.0 — the
operator acted while the session ran. The ask is therefore 0.208.0 -> 0.209.0, not 0.207.0 ->
0.209.0, and STATUS.md plus the golden evidence now say so.

Caught only because the state was re-read rather than carried forward from the arrival note. A fact
recorded at the start of a long session is a fact about the start of the session.
