Drew T 2814d385ac feat(waves): journal_notes also reads a project-local note file
A stopped agent produces no journal row, so the next agent on that function learns
nothing — including that a scratch directory full of compiled candidates and their
match_one scores is sitting on disk. .run/journal_notes_local.jsonl is the same row
shape read through the same code path, so hand-recorded evidence reaches the pack
exactly as an agent's own note does.

Used immediately: six S71 agents that ran past 36 minutes were stopped to free their
slots; each now has a local note naming its scratch dir and stating that a stop is NOT
evidence of difficulty. All six are back in the draw pool and will draw at the Fable
tier per §413.

"""Per-function PAST-ATTEMPT fuel, mined from the agent journals (P31 S71, cookbook §409/§411).
WHY THIS IS A PACK STEP AND NOT AN AUDIT. Every drafting agent writes one note per target into its
workflow journal (`subagents/workflows/wf_*/journal.jsonl`): what it tried, what it measured INERT,
which lever moved the residual, and where its draft sits on disk. Until S71 those notes were written
and never read, so each new wave re-derived the dead ends the last one had already paid for.
MEASURED, S71 wave 1 (50 one-agent workflows over the hardest 210-function frontier, every target
having already refused at least one earlier wave):
* 38 / 39 agents returned MATCH at closeness 0 (97.4%), vs S70's 124 / 131 (94.7%) on an EASIER pool;
* 29 / 39 (74%) cite a prior attempt or the pack's history as what they used;
* 4 / 39 (10%) RECOVERED a previously-MATCHing body straight off disk instead of re-deriving it
(`ov_SC05_003/func_80181720`: the pack's warm-start was a FAILED draft while attempt 3's MATCH
was still sitting under `.run/S70x_1/opus`);
* 11 / 39 (28%) matched on the first compile.
The failure modes it removes are the expensive ones: re-testing a measured-inert lever, and
re-deriving a body that already exists.
python3 tools/journal_notes.py --wave .run/<wave> # append to every pack in the wave
python3 tools/journal_notes.py --fn func_X --binary B # print what we hold on one function
R32: prints coverage (targets with notes / targets) so a silent zero cannot pass as "no history".
R41: every rate carries its denominator.
