A SegmentationError raised by the plan grammar escaped main() as a
traceback and exit 1, while every other malformed-plan case in the same
file already returned 2. Exit codes are the interface a caller scripts
against, and exit 1 with a traceback is the code an unhandled bug
produces -- it says "this command broke" where the truth is "this file
is not a plan".
The refusal itself is unchanged: nothing was written before and nothing
is written now, and the grammar in src/ is untouched. What changes is
one line on stderr naming the error code, and the exit code.
Both branches that can raise are covered: the pre-write parse of a
non-empty plan, and the required-field check reached through the empty
branch.
The old behaviour was pinned by
test_an_entries_value_that_is_not_a_list_is_still_refused, which
asserted that a wrongly-typed `entries` reaches the caller as a raised
SegmentationError and recorded that as a finding rather than fixing it.
That test is rewritten here, in the same commit as the code, to assert
exit 2 plus the code on stderr. A second test pins the one-line stderr
shape on the non-empty branch.
Suite 1072 -> 1073 passed; ruff and mypy --strict clean.

Measured on the K3 corpus: 4 of 12 judgements produced no artifact, because
the verdict was "none of these segments should be persisted" and the plan
grammar refuses zero entries. That refusal is correct for the run path -- an
empty plan replayed would silently persist nothing for a document that was
dropped -- so the grammar is untouched and the recording tool is taught to
record a rejection instead.
Refusing to materialize and refusing to record are different acts. The
rejection artifact is deliberately NOT replayable: parse_segmentation_plan
still refuses it, and the suite asserts that rather than assuming it. The dwell
time rides at the top level because there is no entry to carry it, and a
ratified rejection with no time on it is as unfalsifiable as a ratified
acceptance with none.
Only the empty LIST takes the branch. A missing entries key, or one that is not
a list, stays the grammar's to refuse: "the adjudicator kept nothing" and
"this file is not a plan" must not collapse.
K4a re-run after the change: propose, adjudicate, run the path twice into two
bundles under SEGMENTED_OKF_V0_2, diff -r exit 0 with no output. 1034 -> 1041
tests.
