M5b plan: task 07, loopd neutralises text when it is first logged

Browse Source 
loopd neutralises the user's message (the User record), every text
appended as a tool result (results, recall's, denials, failures and
loopd's own answers share the one append in run_turn), after the cap,
and the memory block in Baseline::assemble_with. The model's output,
system.md and replay are untouched: an old log with a raw tag is
replayed byte for byte.

Checks, on a reference at ref 07 (titan, rustc 1.98.1, own target/):
- given tests before the change: 7 of 9 fail as the task lists; the
  two that guard what must not change pass before and after
- make gate: gate: ok, 1042 tests (1033 + 9); /tmp unchanged around it;
  the two new suites 20 runs, no failure
- 14 mutations, each caught: user not neutralised; neutralised before
  the cap; recall path missed; only untrusted results; truncated from
  the final length; block not neutralised; model content, reasoning or
  tool arguments neutralised; replay re-neutralises user, tool or
  system; open rewrites records; system.md neutralised too
- the task's edits applied to a fresh ref-06 copy give files
  byte-identical to the reference; every before block found once
- no chat-template tag whole in the task or given files; task lines
  within 100 characters except tables; given files under 500 lines
