Claiming a needs-ruling issue dated it through the assigned timeline
event, silencing the 7-day escalation nudge at exactly the moment a
builder started working through it. The ruling block now reads
last_issue_comment_activity (D1); the reclaim clock keeps the assignment
(D2) because there the assignment IS the claim; post-merge hands its
evidence read to the ruling block instead of reading again (D6, D7); the
claimed branch reads both clocks at its top, before anything it posts.
LABELS.md and lib/ruling.sh now say what each surface's clock reads
(D4, D5). The #257-era order compositions move to the comments read —
the timeline is no longer an input the issue clocks take, and its
unreadability no longer holds unrelated writes hostage; that narrowing
is pinned rather than implied.

Closes-adjacent contract in the PR body; authorizing issue #226.
ruling_escalation_row scored every setter in-window row 0-4 by the shared
field matcher; highest wins, equal scores break to the earliest epoch, an
undecodable body scores 0. ruling_shape_decision now grades through the
same matcher, so the selector and the check cannot drift (crew#293).

lib/ruling.sh gains the mechanical half of #50 D12-D15: the comment body
rides the fetch as base64 (rows stay line-oriented), ruling_shape_decision
checks the four line-anchored bold-tolerant field labels,
ruling_deadline_decision derives the rung from the labeled epoch,
ruling_default_decision parses the Default: line for wording only, and
reconcile_ruling wires them with bare-stops-here exclusion — every write a
comment, one per marker per episode, both surfaces via the shared lib.
Part of #73.

One implementation for both surfaces: the stale exemption, the bare-flag
mechanical proxy (15-minute back-window against the newest labeled event),
the marker-scoped idempotency, the 7-day nudge with no marker (the comment
is the activity that resets its own window), and the one impure
orchestrator both reconcilers will source.
