Drew T de9a550edb fix(jtbl): refuse md_*/main in jtbl_carve — it corrupts those configs before erroring ...

Two independent reviews (ox design study + Fable validation) found parse_config does not
implement its own documented contract on md_*/main: it can DELETE the c config line and
corrupt the yaml on disk before failing. main also has no config/splat.main.yaml (it is
splat.us.exe.yaml), which is the FileNotFoundError seen on every main jtbl target.

Refuse loudly rather than corrupt quietly (R43). Lift only after parse_config is hardened
and proven on two examples.

Also: gate() stages into a per-run dir (a killed gate's 3,186 stale drafts survived into the
next gate of the same tag and poisoned every group); reloc_filter no longer treats
NOT-A-STUB as a pass (it means ALREADY BANKED — wave an staged 480 of them over source that
already byte-matches).

Designs recorded: docs/tool-designs/jtbl-island-split.md (ox) and -review.md (Fable):
14 CONFIRMED / 8 WRONG / 1 UNVERIFIABLE, verdict GO-WITH-CHANGES, and the correct fix is
SMALLER than proposed — one inserted .rodata carve line + jr_isolate_all.py --only, no _pre
piece and no ld_interleave leading mode.
