vh bf351a26d1 feat(u7): filename groups — the last v1 unit, and a table that did not reproduce
Completes U7 with its fourth component: a jump-to-group rail derived from
filename prefixes, replacing the subfolder sections ROADMAP named. The scope
departure was ratified by the operator 2026-09-22; this commit deletes
test_no_group_rail_is_shipped_yet, the guard that held it back, in the same
change that builds what it guarded against.

All seven v1 capabilities are now landed. The 1.0 cut is a decision, not a
dependency, and it is the operator's — no version bump here, because a commit
is not a release.

THE RULE CHANGED AT IMPLEMENTATION, ON MEASURED GROUNDS. The contract specified
`strip ONE trailing run of digits`; run against the live set that yields 24
groups for sindra-bakeoff's 40 images and 27 for sindra's 30 — a rail with a row
per tile — because it keys on the END of the stem, where the instance number
lives. The contract's own table claimed 5 and 1 for those two booths and neither
reproduces; the numbers are reachable only by two OTHER heuristics, so the table
that justified the design was assembled from more than one rule. Its own worked
example contradicts it in plain sight.

The shipped rule keys on the first separator-delimited segment, where the family
lives, destemming only when the stem has no separator at all — so `ac01` -> `ac`
while `v30-seed8302` and `v35-seed8302` stay apart. Re-measured across all 17
live booths; the table is in the contract.

INV-3 GAINED ITS SECOND DEGENERACY. The contract guarded one group for
everything (sc-iso-spread: DSC0001-DSC0006). The live set's actual failure is
the opposite — pewpew-ui-brief yields 23 groups for 34 items, dfa-concepts 13
for 20 — and the contract as written would have shipped a rail that is a second
copy of the grid. The rail now renders only when grouping is informative: two or
more groups, and the middle group holding more than one item. That predicate
gets all 17 booths right.

Grouping is a VIEW. The grid stays sorted(rel) and the zoom ring stays that
order filtered to images; the group fixture interleaves across subdirectories
precisely so a (group, rel) re-sort goes red. Groups are derived from the
RENDERED list, not the full gallery, so no anchor points at a filtered-out tile.

booth/items.py       _group_of + Item.group, derived in the resolver (INV-1)
booth/app.py         _groups() builds the rail rows; build_gallery carries it
booth/templates/     the rail-groups nav and its CSS
tests/               +16 tests; 639 green

Every new falsifier was proved by running its defeating change (12/12). Three
were vacuous first time out: one fixture's positional order happened to be
alphabetical, one assertion miscounted elements, and the harness itself
certified a broken test twice — no green baseline, and byte-identical mutations
silently defeated by the pyc cache's one-second mtime granularity.

vh a306e2dc6d feat(u7): the rail, the filters and the grid keyboard — the ratified three
ROADMAP's U7 row names four components. Three of them -- a sticky rail,
filters, and grid keyboard -- are already ratified there and are implemented
here. The fourth, replacing directory sections with filename-derived groups, is
a scope DEPARTURE the operator has not ruled on and is deliberately not built;
test_no_group_rail_is_shipped_yet fails the moment somebody builds it anyway,
so it cannot arrive by accident while he is away.

Filters are links carrying a query parameter, resolved server-side, so the
gallery keeps working with JavaScript off -- U3 already cost the verbatim path
its no-JS operation and said so, and the gallery is the surface the operator
actually reviews on. An unknown filter falls back to `all` rather than indexing
a dict by a value that arrives from an operator-editable URL.

`unanswered` means HAS AN OPEN PICK, the U4 hold predicate that already exists.
The other reading is a real and different question and stays open on the
contract rather than being guessed at.

Filtering is a VIEW and never reorders. The grid renders `sorted(rel)` with
non-matching items removed, so "the third one" means the same thing with a
filter on as with it off, and the zoom ring is untouched by any filter -- a
ring that changed with the grid would make `next` depend on how the operator
arrived, which is the misfiled-judgment failure invariant 6 exists for.

⚠ The first version of that invariant's test was VACUOUS and the mutation run
caught it: it compared each filtered view against the unfiltered RESPONSE, so a
reversing mutation reversed both sides and it stayed green under the exact
change it forbade. Rewritten against an independent truth -- U1 INV-3 says the
order IS sorted(rel) -- and re-verified RED. Written an hour after the entry
describing this exact failure class, which is worth recording.

611 -> 623 tests.
