feat(rul,cml): durability findings — config lost after compaction (v5.5.0 / A)
Per the official "what survives compaction" model (context-window.md): only the project-root CLAUDE.md (+ unscoped rules) is re-injected after a context compaction. Two additive, structural findings (low severity): - RUL: a large (>50-line) PATH-SCOPED rule — reloads only on a matching file read, and is not re-injected after compaction, so must-hold rules can silently drop mid-session. - CML: a NESTED (subdirectory) CLAUDE.md — not re-injected after compaction (only the project root is). Additive (no new scanner, count stays 13); one humanizer entry each; hermetic temp-fixture tests (positive + negative). Suite 957 -> 961, SC-5 byte-stable, self-audit A/A. Known limitation (pre-existing, broader than A): the lightweight frontmatter parser reads inline `paths:` but not YAML block sequences, so block-sequence-scoped rules are still seen as unscoped. Deferred. Part of v5.5.0 "steering-model I". Foundation (active-config-reader enumeration) deferred to v5.6 with B.
