Drew T 96d1324acd feat(phase-29 T14 stage 4): jtbl isolate+carve stage built; the CARVE-MUST-FOLLOW-SPLICE law
DIAGNOSIS CORRECTED: the wave's 10/12 blocker is NOT "§8e-2 table-count drift" (the symptom
the filter reports) but a NON-CONTIGUOUS .rodata carve — the new function's table is separated
from the TU's existing carve by an UNMATCHED function's table, and one object cannot straddle
that gap. jtbl_carve names its own remedy in the refusal message.

RECIPE BYTE-PROVEN (func_80135A4C, 181 ins / 138 members):
  jr_isolate_all --only <fn> ; make extract ; <splice> ; jtbl_carve --func <fn> ;
  make extract ; make build   ->  BYTE-IDENTICAL
(isolation verified byte-neutral on its own first; a config change needs extract, not just build.)

BUILT: gate_stage._jtbl_prepare — per-draft carve + auto-isolate on the §8b walls, logic LIFTED
from jtbl_family_bank (R33: one implementation, two callers — their divergence IS this bug),
snapshot-restore undo, GATE_NO_ARITY A/B guard. Ladder: canon -> cast -> reconcile_tu -> jtbl
-> arity -> gate -> sig_unify -> gate.

IT DOES NOT YET BANK, and that is the finding: THE CARVE MUST FOLLOW THE SPLICE. The
non-contiguity is only DETECTABLE once the body is in the object; while the fn is still
INCLUDE_ASM, jtbl_carve reports SUCCESS and produces a spec that fails when the body lands.
Byte-witnessed both ways (spliced -> NON-CONTIGUOUS 0xaa810/0xaa920; unspliced -> "prepared 1/1"
then byte-DIFF). Innocent suspects A/B'd out: the draft is IDENTICAL through canon/cast/
reconcile_tu, and GATE_NO_ARITY=1 changes nothing. FIX = per-draft prep inside harvest_verify's
splice loop (it owns the splice), not a batch pre-pass in gate_stage.

SUB-FINDINGS: (a) a wholesale `git checkout -- config/` undo is WRONG in a batch gate — it
discarded a previously-banked-but-UNCOMMITTED carve, leaving that bank's source with no subseg
(undefined reference to func_80136C90 at link). Now snapshot-restore + drop only this run's
region files (§61's constraint, which I had written and then not applied here). (b) being in a
_jr_* TU != having a table: only 4 of 8 wave drafts reference a jtbl_.

Tree restored byte-identical; nothing banked. cookbook §61a corrected + §61b.
