the scriptio-continua refusal names a three-unit floor while the letter floor asks twenty so satisfying the message earns a second refusal

Found by the orchestrator reviewing the round-5 letter-floor fix (a46f37e3), not by the builder. Branch-introduced: internal/core/grounds/ exists on neither main nor experiment/cold-reading, so the whole package is this intent's own code and the stopping rule fixes rather than merges it.

ValidateText asks two floors in order. The unit floor speaks first, and when the units are all scriptio-continua letters it says:

grounds text "字文" carries 2 letter(s), and the floor asks for 3 where the
script has no word breaks

The author adds one ideograph and is refused a second time, by a floor the first message never mentioned:

grounds text "字文書" carries 3 letter(s), below the 20-letter floor

Both messages count in the same noun. So the author sees the count go 2 -> 3, watches the requirement go 3 -> 20, and is told nothing about why. The first message is not wrong about its own floor; it is wrong that satisfying it gets the text through, which is the only reason a refusal states a number at all.

The gap is widest exactly where the round-4 work aimed: for a script with no word breaks every unit is one letter, so the twenty-letter floor is the binding one and the three-unit floor it names never binds alone. A Latin author reading "below the 3-word floor" is told the truth, because three Latin words usually carry twenty letters. A CJK author reading "asks for 3" is told a number that cannot be enough.

Class: this is the cycle's standing class, a message asserting a requirement that is not the case, reached this time by stating a real floor while omitting the one that actually binds. The remedy is for the scriptio-continua refusal to name both floors, in the unit each is measured in.

Grounds

• pursued: We expect naming both floors to stop the second refusal, because the unit floor never binds for a script whose every unit is one letter, so an author supplied the only number the message gave and was refused again by a floor it had not mentioned.
