Run 2a hit its first two violations at cycle 10 and BOTH trace to my harness, not
the product. Recorded in full because a check that fails for the wrong reason is
as corrosive as one that passes for the wrong reason.
HARD-RESET VM returned=True canaries_intact=False

Root cause, evidenced: the cc_proof table's highest row is C10-C009-A — there is
NO C010-A row at all, so the seed never landed. The hard-reset atom ran earlier in
the same cycle and left rallly Exited(255); atom_restore_verify called seed() and
never checked its return value, so an unwritten generation became a fake stale
