Kjell Tore Guttormsen 7d5e4fcbcc fix(storm-measure): exclude an unreadable empty_turns, and stop printing BOTH for an OR rule
Two defects in the adoption gate, both in the direction that flatters
adoption.

1. A non-numeric empty_turns counted as an eligible run.
   Number('many') is NaN, and the test was `Number.isFinite(empty) &&
   empty > 0`, so NaN fell through to the eligible branch. Measured
   before: 0 -> eligible, 2 -> excluded, undefined -> eligible, null ->
   eligible, 'many' -> ELIGIBLE, NaN -> ELIGIBLE. The exclusion is one of
   the two properties docs/storm-measurement.md names as carrying this
   gate's honesty, and the run whose bookkeeping broke is the run whose
   numbers deserve the least trust. Now excluded. Absent and null stay
   eligible via `?? 0` - a field never written is a genuine zero on a run
   where the loop never armed.

2. The printed threshold line said "adopt >= 30.0% on BOTH - decline <
   15.0% on BOTH" while decideVerdict evaluates OR on both sides. S82
   restored the pre-registered OR rule in the logic (c37bf50d) and left
   this line describing the stricter AND gate, one line above the verdict
   that OR produced. The summary is the only form of the rule most readers
   ever see, so it now states EITHER on both sides and that adopt wins
   ties. Found while fixing (1); not a review finding.

A test pins the printed line against the string "on BOTH" so the two
cannot drift apart again silently.

Review finding 24a76c21ffc694cd782cd449212c9502d31aeda6 (MINOR).

// Step 11 — the STORM adoption gate: deterministic Δ accounting over
// ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/trekresearch-stats.jsonl.
//
// What this decides: whether the bounded Phase 5 conversation loop buys enough
// extra source/coverage breadth to justify flipping VOYAGE_STORM_ENABLED on by
// default in lib/util/research-loop-cap.mjs. Nothing else. The thresholds live
// in docs/storm-measurement.md and were committed BEFORE any measurement run —
// that pre-registration is the whole point, so this script never invents them.
//
// What this does NOT measure: outline quality, answer correctness, or operator
// satisfaction. It measures breadth (distinct sources, dimensions covered).
// A breadth win is necessary for adoption, not sufficient on its own.
//
// Honesty properties, both load-bearing:
// - Runs with empty_turns > 0 are EXCLUDED from the gain and REPORTED. An
// empty turn means the loop spent budget and returned nothing; leaving those
// in decides adoption on a broken denominator.
// - A stats file carrying no `effort` field is a loud error. The silent
// failure this prevents is an empty treatment group reading as "no gain",
// which would decline the mechanism for a schema reason.
//
// Zero deps. Node stdlib only.
