`sed 's/--*>/-->/g; s/-->/ /g'` rewrote `->` (ONE dash) into `-->` and then
blanked it, so a reason written the way this repo writes prose - "premise ->
dead" - silently lost its arrow. The intent was only to stop a literal `-->`
from closing the trailer's HTML comment early. Replaced with a single
expression matching two-or-more dashes, `s/---*>/ /g`.
Same over-broad-escaping class as the `$`-pattern bug in
pre-state-line-guard.mjs, and invisible for the same reason: the fixture
reason had no arrow. Two checks added - a plain arrow must survive, a literal
`-->` must still be neutralised - so the escape now has both a known-positive
and a known-negative. orders 97 -> 99.
