fix(lexicon,docs): retract the claim that the guard's port cites severity.mjs

The guard asked twice which file:line carried it. Tracing it produced an
uncomfortable answer: no file of ours measured it. The claim arrived from
llm-security (coord 20260809T201048Z) and was written down here as a commons
finding in three places.

Measured against the guard's own tree: severity.mjs has never appeared in
src/llm_ingestion_guard/injection_lexicon.json at any point in that file's
history (git log -S: no commits), and at 0bf0729 - the commit our manifest
pins - the only tree-wide occurrence is docs/PLAN.md:114, correctly about the
report module. Their only lexicon source statement is the note at line 3, and
it names injection-patterns.mjs. The right file.

No detection data moves. hybrid severity is still high, still sourced to
injection-patterns.mjs:274-281 at b0de0ca; severity.mjs still has zero
occurrences of the four pattern arrays, re-measured today. Only the sentence
about the other repository falls.

Marked in place, not edited away. The claim survived review because it came
bundled with a correct measurement of the same question - a wrong citation to
a right value, which is exactly what the field it lived in was written to warn
against.

lexicon/injection-lexicon.json 0.5.0 -> 0.5.1 (provenance metadata only).

### Retracted
- **The claim that the Python guard's port cites `severity.mjs` for hybrid severity.** It is
false. It was carried in three places — `lexicon/injection-lexicon.json`
(`families[hybrid].severity_provenance.not_from`), `docs/lexicon-port-divergence.md`
*Severity: the 8 hybrid patterns*), and the `[0.1.0]` entry below — and it was never
measured here. It restated an assertion received from `llm-security` (coord message
`20260809T201048Z`) as a commons finding.
Measured against the guard's own tree, which `llm-ingestion-pipeline-security` asked for
twice before this was checked: `severity.mjs` has **never** appeared in
`src/llm_ingestion_guard/injection_lexicon.json` at any point in that file's history
(`git log -S` returns no commits), and at `0bf0729` — the commit
`conformance/manifest.json` pins — the only tree-wide occurrence is `docs/PLAN.md:114`,
correctly attributing the *report* module to `output.mjs` + `severity.mjs`. The guard's
only source statement for the lexicon is the `note` at `injection_lexicon.json:3`, and it
names `injection-patterns.mjs`.
**No detection data moves.** `families[hybrid].severity` is still `high`, still sourced to
`injection-patterns.mjs:274-281`, re-verified at `b0de0ca`; `severity.mjs` still contains
zero occurrences of `CRITICAL_PATTERNS`, `HIGH_PATTERNS`, `MEDIUM_PATTERNS` and
`HYBRID_PATTERNS`, re-measured the same day. Only the sentence about the *other* repository
falls.
The retraction is marked in place rather than edited away, and it is worth naming why this
one survived review: the claim arrived bundled with a correct measurement of the same
question, from a repository that had done its half properly. The correct half carried the
incorrect half past the check — which is precisely the defect
`severity_provenance.not_from` was written to warn about, one level up.
### Changed
- `lexicon/injection-lexicon.json` **0.5.0 → 0.5.1** — provenance metadata only; no pattern,
id, alias, family or severity value changes.

`pattern_id_space.not_yet_confirmed` is replaced by `ratification`. Both seeding runtimes
agreed on 2026-08-09 — `llm-security` ratified the 0.2.0 proposal as-is and treats an id
change as breaking on the same terms, and the guard confirmed the space its own port
