THE RUSH, made honest: only the pair reaches the book

Adversarial pass over the freshly-threaded recordVerdict pipeline found
three real ordering bugs on rush days, all of the same species: ticket
one's RAW verdict was reaching systems that should only ever see the
pair. The streak moved twice per rush (and an S on ticket one extended
it even when the pair collapsed), the regulars' book logged two visits,
and — the exploit — the Shadow star was awarded off ticket one's raw
grade: ace the first ticket, flub the second, keep the S★ on a day the
ledger records as B.

The rush stash/combine now sits directly after the per-dish adjustments
(Critic and Mother judge each DISH — that part was right) and before
streak, book, star and daily, so ticket one returns early having touched
nothing, and the pair flows through everything else exactly once.

Also fixed the falsy-zero trap the stash simplification introduced: a
0.0 ticket one made `this.rushFirst ?` read as "no rush", re-dealing
the SAME order for ticket two — all three checks are `!== null` now.

Verified live on day 25: after ticket one, streak/visits/ledger byte-
identical to before it; after the pair, one visit, 41s decay 7.6→7.3,
one write.
