Paper: the transport ladder, the disability gate, and a gate amended by its own evidence (#166)

Carry the paper through every merged wave since the gate-2b pass (#149).

Add the gate-2c candidate ladder and its independently verified pass
(#155/#157, verification 4950580430): two candidates — the shortest of the
family ladders — candidate 1 failing 1/5 with the assortative diagonal held
35/35 on the first attempt and the gate bound entirely on the earnings-blind
first-marriage cells the registration had named in advance, candidate 2's
one marginal-preserving modifier (byte-carry 2,500 cells at 0.0) passing 4/5.
With it, every gate-2 tranche is passed: all four demographic gates locked
AND passed (memo 4950584695).

Add the disability gate (M4): floors #153 (round-1 restoring the occupancy-
stock teeth via mixed-k), lock #159 (the start-wave weight-definition fix),
candidate 1 passing 5/5 (#161) — the program's first five-of-five — verified
with a both-constructions gap adjudication (4951142927), the estimand always
the PSID self-report, never an SSA DI level (seven concept deltas).

Add the transport gate (W1): design #151, floors #154 with the owned #158
tier-manifest process violation, lock #160, candidate 1 failing 0/5 (#162,
C2 swap realised / C1 non-reversal robust / earnings not degenerate),
forensics 1 (#163, the entry-state lever and the Q4 gate-design finding),
and amendment 1 in full ceremony (#164/#165) — the program amending its own
structurally-unpassable gate, all ten family-B cells demoted on committed
evidence with anchors retained verbatim and the failed candidate left failed.
This is the fourth recurring referee class: a gate can itself be wrong, and
the same ceremony catches that too, after the lock.

Add the interim benefit seam (#156: gross $41.35B -> net $36.02B, offsets
enumerated, 4/4 expectations, engine-vs-transport gap 6e-8), stating the
PolicyEngine-executes / Axiom-cross-validates division; and the deployment
infrastructure (contract identity, env sidecars, a generic K=20 evaluator
reproducing the three committed gate verdicts; the household candidate-9
registry port).

Recompute the tally per the paper's conventions: forty-two registered runs
across six gates (13/16/9/2/1/1), thirty-seven failures against five passes,
six gates locked with FIVE ratified amendments (two gate 1, two gate 2, one
transport), ten forensics rounds, six external-anchor replications, and fifty
forecasts registered with forty-nine graded — the one open registration the
transport gate's second candidate. Frozen sections byte-identical.
