docs: normalize U4/U5 fragments, and drop three claims the evidence does not carry

Four review findings, all mine.

Normalization. The byte count and the :LINE suffix are
occurrence-specific --- the count is the collected suffix length, which
varies per run, and the line moves with the file --- so neither can be
a required fragment. Both rows now carry stable fragments and an
explicit NOT-fragments field naming what must not be matched on.

The LuaJIT-pass argument was the rejected overreach again. I used a
passing sibling leg as a STRUCTURAL exclusion; a deterministic defect
can be Lua-flavour-specific, so it is corroboration only. The row now
says so in those words. The real grounds are stronger anyway and were
sitting there: the workflow never invokes scripts/gate, and
full_grid_resync_acceptance runs BEFORE the changed gate suite, which
closes even the leaked-state path.

Three contradictions inside U4, each removed.

"It never emitted the blank" asserts a mechanism the next field
simultaneously calls open. Now: no blank was OBSERVED after the mark
within the deadline.

The 25,362 bytes were not a capped window. suffix.len() is the ENTIRE
post-mark output; only the displayed head is truncated, to 400 bytes.
Verified in the test source. So my control --- capture the full stream
rather than the window --- was solving a gap that does not exist. The
gap is arrival TIME, and the control now instruments that instead.

The ~20s failure duration IS the fixed Duration::from_secs(20) timeout,
so the ratio against a fast pass is mechanically determined and is not
independent timing evidence. Also verified in the source.

U5 control relabelled. Running m5_8_acceptance alone decides whether
the gate suite is implicated --- cross-suite attribution --- and
nothing more. It cannot separate injected-before-raw-mode from
raw-mode-lost from a third cause, and another isolated pass cannot
either however often it is repeated. Mechanism discrimination needs
readiness and raw-mode state observed AT INJECTION, which is now a
second, separately labelled control.
