docs(contributor-scan): requirements, including the corpus asks I first missed

10 requirements, 46 criteria. A NEW spec rather than an amendment to
model-grounded-detection, which is complete and closed.

Req 1-8 cover the gap that prompted it: the model layer has zero production
callers, so ousast scan must use it (1), regions must come from entry points
rather than a labelled function (2), ranking and budget must work at repository
scale where the enumerator's per-region cap of eight is meaningless (3), the
performance envelope must be measured on a real checkout (4), output must be
actionable (5), packaging must be built and verified rather than merely defined
(6), the two deferred decisions must close (7), and the honesty disciplines
carry forward (8).

Req 9 and 10 were added after the maintainer asked whether their requests had
been captured. They had not been -- I folded the corpus asks implicitly into
"run against a known-vulnerable repository", which is not the same thing. Now
explicit: a PHP/WordPress slice (php2cpg works once an interpreter is present,
which the image provides, and plugin CVEs are overwhelmingly the families the
model arbitrates well); real-world C library CVEs -- libpng, image libraries,
OpenSSH, libpam, kernel modules -- gated on the memory decision, because until
it closes they would join 173 pairs already idle; more vibe-code pairs, since
that slice is where the stated audience works and it is only 35 pairs; and
regression tuning over a pinned large-repository baseline, which is the thing
pair scoring structurally cannot see.

Req 9.4 carries today's lesson: verify on a sample that the model can READ a
slice before vendoring it. The OWASP harvest found 238 pairs and vendored 40
for exactly that reason.

Not approved.

It was: model-grounded-detection is 16/16 complete and its arbiter is measured at 86.7% pair-correct / 6.7% leak, but the model layer has ZERO production callers -- ousast scan does not use it, so the feature is complete and unshipped at once. That is a scope gap in the predecessor (it had no task saying 'make this reachable', and its byte-identical-gates requirement is satisfied precisely because nothing is wired). This spec covers scan integration, whole-repo scanning against known vulnerable repositories, the deferred memory-family decision, and records the pipeline, ops and corpus work delivered outside any spec. Not approved; requirements not generated."
