Closes #3535.

ont-delta: none — the §11.1 sink sentence and its guard move together; this PR records no sweep finding and closes no sweep, so there is no delta.

Measured (aprender-ba, 2026-09-19): #3499 (a guard-regex fix), #3420 (PP-QUANT-001) and #3424 (PP-ARCH-001) are RED on guard-tree with FAIL no ont-delta: line — each touches one file under docs/specifications/ and nothing else the rule names. scripts/check_pr_ont_delta.sh was faithful to §11.1 as written: the sentence named docs/specifications/** whole as a prose sink. A design spec is the finding's home, not a sink a sweep writes into.

Spec + guard in one commit: §11.1 now names docs/specifications/APR-RELEASE-001-*.md — the train's own spec, where sweep findings are recorded — and says a *-MASTER.md design spec is not a sweep; ONT_SWEEP_SINKS follows (the release spec file, not the directory).

The predicate had no self-test — all 15 rows fed check_body_text, so sweep_reason could classify every PR either way and stay green. aprender-ba's predicate_self_test (10 rows) is chained into --self-test; the falsifying row "a DESIGN spec is not a sweep" is want=1 and goes RED when the directory-wide sink is restored (measured: want=1 got=0), so the leg discriminates. --self-test 15 + 10 passed; bashrs 0 errors.

Interim for the three PRs stays an ont-delta: none <reason> body line; after this merges their guard-tree goes green on a rebase with no body change.

§13.11 rung 1 — quorum shadow verdict

S13-SHADOW pr=3536 head=6206d8ebca65a553451bb6581b368233249ca881 verdict=REFUSE class=Q1 arm_rc=1

Shadow mode: this records a verdict and merges nothing. A refusal
to arm is not a block (§13 adds zero rows to §7) — the pull request is
exactly as green as it was.
