docs: record the two stage 0 shapes and what they measured (V-498)

 Go's `\b` is ASCII-only and never fires after a Cyrillic letter; the pattern needs an
 explicit `(\s|[?!.]|$)`.
 
+Two more shapes taken off the model, 04-08-2026 (V-498). `rest-of-day-query` inside
+`AgendaQueryGrammars` claims "что дальше?" / "what's next", and `NarrativeQueryGrammar`
+(`stage0.go`, wired **last** in `buildRouter`, after the capture marker) claims "расскажи про
+X", "объясни X", "опиши X". Neither carries a question mark or an interrogative, so the model
+called both `IntentFact`; the write was caught downstream by `IsQuestionShaped`, so this was a
+latency and fixture defect, not a correctness one. The narrative rule reads the same
+`narrativeRequests` lexicon `IsQuestionShaped` reads, and declines `chatNarrativeTopics` — a
+joke, a bedtime story, herself — because the query chain has no source that answers those.
+New fixture cases ru-query-024 and ru-query-025. Classifier + ONNX baseline **56/80 (70.0%) →
+58/82 (70.7%)**, no case regressed, no new false clarify. The LLM arm was not measured (no
+llama-server in that run), so judge it again before quoting a cascade number.

+#### "второй" points at the list she just read
+
+Landed 2026-08-04 (Vikunja #448). The dialogue session carried the intent, the
+slots and the history, and not the list. She recited five tasks, he said
+"второй", and the word had nothing to point at.
+
+`Session.Candidates` holds what she just offered, bound at the moment she speaks
+it and in the order she speaks it (`tasks.Spoken`). Binding afterwards would
+resolve the word against a fresh query, and the list changes between two turns.
+`cmd/mavend/ordinal.go` reads the position before routing and dispatches on the
+candidate's kind.
+
+An ordinal with no verb is read back, not acted on — "второй" names a task, it
+does not say what to do with it. With a verb ("первую сделал", "последнюю
+убери") the task moves and the list is spent, because a second ordinal against a
+list that no longer holds closes the wrong work. A position she never read is
+answered with how many she did read, not routed as a fresh sentence.
+
+#### Saying she got it wrong is a feature
+
+Landed 2026-08-04 (Vikunja #455). `Router.CorrectMisroute` could always append a
+corrected utterance as a new classifier example, and until now nothing in the
+daemon called it, so the mechanism existed and the behaviour did not.
+
+`cmd/mavend/repair.go` reaches it. He says she got it wrong and names what it
+should have been — "нет, это заметка", "это не напоминание, а факт" — and three
+things happen in one turn: the classifier learns the utterance under the named
+intent, the request is redone under it, and she says the correction landed. The
+utterance he is correcting TO is the one with no "не" in front of it.
+
+Read before routing, next to the confirm and clarify turns, because a correction
+routed as a fresh utterance files the correction itself. One turn is correctable
+once, inside five minutes, and only turns she acted on — a clarify asked instead
+of acting, so there is nothing yet to be wrong about.
