M5b plan: task 05, narrower flag rules

The design model's review of task 05: a recalled flagged note taints the
reading session, so a false positive on a code-work note costs a session.

- dump-conversation: the object must end its clause (a new part, Ends,
  and a function to write, ends_clause): punctuation after it, the last
  word, or one of so far, above, to, into, in, with, verbatim next. "include
  the conversation id in each log line" and CLAUDE.md's "spike output that
  contains conversation content" now pass (code-work corpus).
- persist-agent-config dropped: Boxmaker's agent never loads AGENTS.md,
  CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules or .clinerules as its instructions. Listed under
  not ported; its notes are code-work cases, its attack a decided edge.
- normalise folds the typographic apostrophes U+2018 and U+2019 to '.
- The corpus is split: other scripts and decided edges move to
  sanitize_flag_edges.rs, keeping each file under 500 lines.

Checks: make gate on the reference (ref 05, 818dbc7), rustc 1.98.1: gate
ok, 1023 tests (22 + 2 + 2 new); the task applied to a fresh ref-04 copy
is byte-identical to it; 60 mutations, each caught; /tmp unchanged around
the gate; no chat-template tag in the task or given files; given files
pass rustfmt and the 500-line limit.
