fix(ci): stop the review bot handing over fixes in prose

The `suggestion` blocks stopped once the briefing moved into its own file, but
the carve-out that survived — "one clause naming where the fix belongs" — was
being stretched from a location into an instruction. #6397 dictated what to
write in a comment and which existing test to copy; #6394 named the fix
outright. The clause now permits a file, a function, a symbol or a layer and
nothing about what happens there, and closes the stretch three ways: prose is
a patch the moment a verb describes the change, so is holding up an existing
symbol as the model to copy, and a clause the maintainer could apply as
written is the fix however it is punctuated.

Three rules the rubric was missing, none of which existed anywhere. A 🔴 or 🟡
says in one clause what the change did to the code it is about, the way a 🟣
already says it predates it — otherwise nothing in the comment shows the
marker was earned. A claim about a caller or a callee needs that file read:
the dispatch-rule violation this repo cares most about sits a frame outside
the diff, and the skill is told to avoid reading past the changes. And nothing
pads the comment.

The briefing's one named override aimed at a step that does not exist. The
plugin the job loads defines no `--comment` flag and mentions suggestions
nowhere, so `max --comment <target>` is inert trailing text. Replaced with the
six overrides that are real: the skill calls pre-existing issues and unmodified
lines false positives, drops every finding its confidence pass scores under 80
and then posts nothing at all (a nitpick scores 50, so that filter empties all
five nit slots), says to avoid emojis against a severity system that is three
of them, mandates a "Found N issues" format, and forbids reading build signal.

it buries the two lines someone actually has to act on.

A finding says what is wrong, where (`file:line`), what triggers it and what

replacement snippet, no rewritten function, no "suggested fix" section — in

A 🔴 or 🟡 finding also says, in one clause, what this pull request did to
the code it is about — the line it added, the call it moved, the guard it
dropped — the way a 🟣 says that it predates the change. That clause reports
what the change did, never what it should have done. Nothing else in the
comment shows the marker was earned.
