feat(contributor-scan): ask a repository what it calls that the ontology does not model

Five of seven families established nothing in the family census, and every one failed for an ontology
reason with the flow engine ready and nothing to aim at. Each was found by investigating one family
at a time over days. vocabulary.sc asks it once: census the calls, subtract everything any fact table
names, rank the remainder by how often it is called and whether it sits in a method that reads
untrusted input. It needs no dataflow, because the structural pass already walks every call.

The harness reads its token set from the SPECS rather than from the TOML, so it measures what the
analyser actually consults: a fact the loader drops is not part of the ontology however neatly it is
written. Ontology sizes today are 152 tokens for JavaScript, 167 for Python, 84 for PHP.

Both carry the constraint the maintainer set: the output is a candidate list, never an ontology. A
name becomes a fact only when someone resolves it to a library API, states the weakness class and
records provenance, because adding a name because a subject called it is how a general-purpose tool
becomes a fixture of its own benchmark.

Also records what the bounded PHP transfer attempt found. At 25 regions the first case now runs to
completion and writes a full artifact in 1,706 s, where at 100 it had exhausted a 2,400 s deadline
with nothing. But 25 of 4,461 regions is 0.6 percent of the population and the declared target was
not among them, so the question was never asked. Task 13.3 therefore depends on 7.3, skipping
arbitration where the evidence says there is nothing to find: raising the budget is already measured
to fail, and making most of the budget unnecessary has not been tried.

- **Named by the 2026-09-20 correction.** The not-established record came from two instrument defects, not from the analyser: the census verdict checked question completion before findings, and a 500-region budget asks 2,526 questions, which no ceiling this project sets can hold. Bounded to 25 and 100 regions, PMPro completes with no timeout and establishes a true-positive SQL injection at `adminpages/discountcodes.php:749`.
- Replay the three declared comparisons with the corrected harness at a region budget that completes, and record the declared target's evidence or its absence. State the budget as a limit of the run, not as a property of the repository: a bounded population establishes transfer, never coverage.
- Done when all three comparisons complete with their declared target evidence recorded, or the budget they need is stated as a finding.
- _Attempted 2026-09-21, and the attempt named its own blocker._ At 25 regions the first case now runs to completion and writes a full artifact, in 1,706 s, where at 100 it had exhausted a 2,400 s deadline with nothing. But 25 regions of 4,461 is 0.6% of the population, and the declared target at `classes/class.memberorder.php:936` was not among them: zero findings at the target, because the question was never asked. A bounded population establishes transfer only if it CONTAINS the target, and this one cannot.
- **So this task depends on contributor-scan 7.3, not on a larger budget.** The population that holds the target is affordable only if arbitration stops being paid for questions whose evidence says there is nothing to find. Raising the budget is the thing already measured to fail; making most of the budget unnecessary is the thing that has not been tried.
- _Two further observations from that run, recorded because they cost nothing to keep._ The head scan cost 1,178 s against the base's 219 s, which is worth explaining before M2 designs around either number. And every coverage reason was `ambiguous_line_correspondence`, one per file — so in the PUSH path, unlike the census, correspondence is what stands between this subject and a completed question. The partition work removed one blocker and revealed the next.

- **Diagnosed 2026-09-21, and PHP was never the variable.** A repository holding TWO languages can never complete a question, so it can never admit a finding. `partitions.py` raises `cross_partition_semantics_unresolved` whenever more than one language partition exists; that reason is a member of `GRAPH_INTEGRITY_GAPS`; and a graph-integrity gap demotes every completed outcome in the scan.
