Only a literal pattern may take the personal boundary off a turn (V-666)

Naming a destination takes the guessing query sources off a turn, and the
personal boundary is one of them. Every other guesser costs an answer when it
is wrongly dropped. This one costs the rule that a question about him never
reaches an upstream engine.

Three deciders name a destination now and two of them infer it: the routing
heads and the resident model. Decision.SourceAnchored says a stage 0 grammar
read the words instead. queryWalk honours it for the source marked
boundary: true and for no other, so the rest of the table is unchanged.

Owner's call of 2026-08-09.
