docs(t1): record the operator's decline of the section 5 head-to-head

Browse source 
The delegated-orchestration bake-off (T1 section 5) was specified in June and never run, and
nothing said whether it should be. The operator declined it on 2026-09-18, so section 5 now
carries a STATUS block in the same form section 6 got when its PoC was run and declined.

Why it is a decline and not a postponement: the measurement's positive branch is "adopt
delegated orchestration", which the balance analysis lists under Explicitly NOT recommended
(CC-26 lean-NO). Running it would have reopened a settled decision without saying so. The
end-state direction chosen 2026-09-17 is to finish and freeze the present form. The cheaper
synthetic instrument proposed alongside it is not run either.

Nothing is rewritten: the design stays as the record of what was specified, and reviving it
is a new operator decision. This is the same mechanism the end-state gate measures, so the
experiment closes by the decision being written down rather than by code changing.

End-state gate E-03: open -> closed. Experiments 3 -> 2 of 3 (STORM and the deep-research
opt-in remain). Registry integrity intact. Suite 1081 (1079/0/2), run on a clean export of
the index.

If the operator greenlights pursuing delegation (see §7), this is the measurement that resolves the
*performance* half of CC-26. It is **not run** in S7.
