Drill records move from sections inside drill/RUNS.md to one file per
version: drills/<version>.md. drill/RUNS.md is untouched — it stays the
harness's own run log, traps table and lore. drills/ is release evidence
only, and the docs now say which is which.
The old guard parsed headings: em-dash field matching, an optional
' — DATE' tail, whole-version comparison so 0.9.0-rc1 could not satisfy
0.9.0, avoiding \x escapes because CI runs mawk not gawk, and a non-blank
body rule. Every one of those existed only because records shared one
file, and two separate defects were found in review because of that
complexity — the sed '/./,$!d' whitespace bypass, and heading-grammar
drift from the sibling repos.
One file per version makes almost all of it unrepresentable: 0.9.0.md and
0.9.0-rc1.md are simply different files, so whole-version matching is
free rather than a trap. The guard keeps only the rule that was never
about headings — a record of pure whitespace is not a record — and keeps
the failure message that names the version, the path, the unblock, and
the recorded-waiver escape hatch.
Plain drills/, not .drills/ — a dot-directory is invisible to globs
without dotglob, which is what caused #116 and #118.
Also corrects the release-drill framing: the three repos' drills are
INDEPENDENT and run in any order. What dissolves the box<->rig recursion
is that every drill pins the same fixed candidate refs, not sequencing.
