fix(model): a guard discharges the obligation it is a guard of

contributor-scan 2.6. Access control entailed 7 of 9 VAmPI handlers,
including three that do authorize and three the OpenAPI spec declares
public. Five separate defects, each invisible to a corpus of one-function
excerpts and each found by asking the query what it actually matched.

**A trailing segment is not a match.** `query.get` was matched by its last
segment, so every `.get(` in the repository became a protected database
operation -- `request.headers.get('Authorization')` and
`request_data.get('username')` included. Four of the seven false positives
came from this, and so did the apparent detection of the known BOLA: it was
entailed because fetching the Authorization header had no dominating guard,
not because of the defect. A qualified token now requires its qualifier.

**Configuration is not authorization.** dominance_specs took every
obligation fact. `security_setting` operations are discharged by a VALUE,
which config_specs already claims them for; pooled in here they made
`app.run(...)` an operation requiring an authorization guard and put
thirteen tokens in BOTH lists -- an obligation that is its own discharge,
the same shape as the taint sink that used to sanitize itself.

**Input validation is not authorization.** `jsonschema.validate` was
counted as a guard, so handlers with no authorization check at all read as
guarded. No operation in the table requires validated_input.

**A guard discharges the obligation it is a guard of.** The largest one.
`orm-read` requires an identity_constraint or an ownership_check;
`token_validator` is a path_guard. Flattened into one list, authenticating
the caller discharged an object-level obligation -- a handler that
authenticates and then looks the record up by a PATH parameter read as
fully guarded. The facts state that relation and the spec was discarding
it; it is now carried and the engine asks per operation.

**A word boundary needs a word.** Found while fixing the above. Guard
matching wrapped every token in `(?<![A-Za-z0-9_])...(?![A-Za-z0-9_])`.
The identity token `['sub']` begins with `[`, and the character before it
in `resp['sub']` is `p` -- so the assertion could never hold. Every
identity token starting with punctuation was unmatchable, and the identity
constraint that separates a correct lookup from an IDOR was invisible.

Also: dominance rows were repository-wide, so the model's unguarded
`delete_user` was attributed to the API handler of the same name. Rows are
scoped to the region's file, which is what the rung's own justification
says -- the evidence is a file contradicting itself.

Measured against VAmPI's OpenAPI `security` blocks, which declare per
operation whether auth is required, and agree with the code:

  vampi precision   28.6% (2/7) -> 50.0% (2/4)
  known found       3 of 3, all model_entailed

And on the labelled access-control pairs, which nobody tuned this against:

  all 9 pairs       pair_correct 3 -> 3, leak 44.4% -> 11.1%
  7 non-VAmPI       pair_correct 2 -> 2, leak 42.9% -> 0.0%

Every detection lost was on a pair whose FIXED side was flagged too, which
scores nothing. No correct detection was traded for the precision.

get_by_title was flagged before it was in the recipe: its code carries the
comment "# Broken Object Level Authorization" and the README lists it, so a
real finding was being scored as a false positive. It is now the recipe's
third known vulnerability.

Both remaining false positives are endpoints the spec declares public.
Recorded as 2.8, with the reason the mapper's access_level cannot simply be
trusted: for decorator frameworks "public" means "no decorator found",
which is the bug itself.

Gates byte-identical.

- [ ] 2.8 An endpoint that declares itself public carries no obligation
- **2.6's remainder.** Both false positives left on VAmPI are `register_user` and `login_user`, which its
OpenAPI spec declares public with no `security` block. The arbiter cannot see that declaration, so it
reports a missing guard on an endpoint whose contract says there is nothing to miss.
- The mapper's `access_level` is NOT a safe substitute on its own. For an OpenAPI route it comes from the
declared `security` block and is trustworthy; for a decorator-based framework "public" means only that
no `@login_required` was found, which is precisely the bug this family exists to report. Suppressing on
that would silence the primary detection case for Flask and Express.
- So the work is to carry the PROVENANCE of the access level, not just its value: a declared contract
removes the obligation, an absent decorator does not. `EntryPointRecord.provenance` currently only
echoes the level, so this needs a real signal rather than a string match on evidence text.
- Observable: `register_user` and `login_user` no longer entailed on vampi, with the pair-corpus leak rate
unchanged at 0% on the non-VAmPI pairs -- the check that this suppressed a declaration and not a family.

request_sources a value from the request discharges nothing, by definition.
permissive_values a permissive literal is the bug, not the guard.
``dischargers`` is the flat union, kept because a caller may not care which kind discharged what.
``requirements`` and ``dischargers_by_kind`` carry the relation the facts actually state: an operation
names the obligation KINDS that would discharge it, and only a discharger of one of those kinds counts.
Flattening that relation away was a false-negative engine. `orm-read` requires an ``identity_constraint``
or an ``ownership_check``; `token_validator` is a ``path_guard``. Pooled together, authenticating the
caller discharged an object-level obligation -- so a handler that authenticates and then looks the
record up by a PATH parameter read as fully guarded. That is the shape of VAmPI's broken object-level
authorization, and of most real IDORs.

Not every obligation fact is an authorization one, and taking them all was wrong in both directions.
* ``security_setting`` operations are configuration: a permissive CORS origin or a debug flag is
discharged by a VALUE, which is what ``config_specs`` already claims them for and what this arbiter
cannot decide. Pooled in here they made `app.run(...)` an operation requiring an authorization guard,

discharge, the same shape as the taint sink that used to sanitize itself.
* ``validated_input`` dischargers are schema checks. `jsonschema.validate` does not establish who the
caller is, and no operation in the table requires it; counting it as a guard marked handlers with no
authorization check at all as guarded.
So both sides are filtered by kind, and the filter is derived from the facts' own ``requires`` relation
