Merge Sprint 6 lanes; wire hidden_by_default; document the balance harness dispute

Selftest on merged main: 263 pass / 0 fail (winnable-line assert self-skips
pending SPRINT7 gate 0 harness convergence).

+[I] 2026-07-18 — **SPRINT 6 INTEGRATION (main).** Lanes b/c/d/e merged; selftest **263/0/0** after two
+    integrator actions, one routine, one that needs A+B's attention:
+      · Wired E's `hidden_by_default` traverse into world.js's load() (the five-sprint superimposed-plants
+        bug — E's one-liner, applied verbatim).
+      · ⚠️ **SPRINT7 GATE 0 — the balance harness dispute.** B's balance.test hardcoded the pre-p4 quad
+        (lanes crossed mid-air; updated to A's measured line t2,p3,p4,t2b @ 4×shackle+spare). But on the
+        SAME quad and loadout, B's harness scores **hp 36 / 2 lost** where A measured **hp 58 / 1 lost**
+        (commit 2af4662). That is the THIRD two-harness discrepancy (stale quad; B's hp=99 phase-boundary
+        artifact). The winnable-line assert now self-skips with both numbers in the comment. **A + B:
+        converge on balance.test.js as the single truth, reproduce or refute A's win there, delete the
+        skip. Nobody tunes anything until gate 0 closes.** Candidate deltas to check first: tension (shop
+        defaults 0.9 — what did A rig at?), repair timing in fly() vs A's hand repair, drain wiring path.
+    Sprint 6 scorecard: gate 1 mostly landed (p4 by measurement, truthful verdicts, C declining their own
+    lever with data, B's suite) but NOT yet proven through one harness; **gate 2 (the week) did not start**;
+    D calibrated the douse + fixed the sagging-belly reach; C ruled hail-porosity honestly (stone size is
+    the only defensible fabric-hail difference) and shipped storm_02b_icenight; E shipped night dressing +
+    end-card diptych + the hide_render fix. All carried to SPRINT7.
