label seeds with the stage 0 grammars and gemma, and measure both (V-546)

The plan calls the labeled set the whole project and names the stage 0
grammars as the label functions. cmd/labelgen runs them, the real ones in
buildRouter order, so a rule change moves the training data with it.

Gemma labels the rest at 334ms/call with nothing unparsed, which matches the
plan's estimate. It agrees with the seed files on 197/277, and reading the
disagreements is the finding: the seeds and the router prompt hold different
definitions of system, of a world question and of a bare verb. V-626.

+## Russian patterns — three mechanisms, no fourth
+
+Hand-written Russian stem patterns were swept out on 2026-08-04 (owner's call: not a
+pattern, and the resident model cannot be asked per turn either). A regex whose output is a
+fact or a route is the defect; a regex over structured input — HTML, MIME, JSON, a URL, an
+argv list — is not. Before writing a Russian word list, pick one of these:
+
+- **`internal/lexicon`** — closed classes, in `lexicon_ru_v1.json`. Interrogatives,
+  capture verbs, reminder verbs, cardinals, day offsets, parts of day, weekdays, months,
+  spoken hours. Editing a word is a data change, and there is exactly one copy: months used
+  to live in three files. Cardinals carry the oblique forms, because a spoken time declines
+  and `в семь` / `к семи` are one hour.
+- **`internal/morph`** — grammar, from the vendored golem Russian dictionary. `IsVerbForm`
+  and `SameWord`. Note that lemma matching is BROADER than stem-plus-one-ending, so a verb
+  slot that means the imperative must be matched exactly — `говори` and `говорил` are one
+  lemma and only one of them is a command (`cmd/mavend/quiet_toggle.go`).
+- **`cmd/mavend/topics.go` and the embedder** — open sets, where the question is what a
+  turn is ABOUT. Frozen seeds per subject plus a real `other` class, scored against the
+  turn's own query vector. Same shape as the personal boundary in `personalboundary.go`,
+  with one difference: a topic must clear the runner-up by `topicMargin`, because a false
+  claim here spends a network scan rather than one honest "не знаю". The old keyword tests
+  stay as the offline floor and may remain narrow, since they are no longer the only answer.
+- **The ecosystem trio** — when the answer is not in the utterance at all. Identity is
+  Nexus's, never a local pattern.

+Seeds are scoring data. Editing one moves a recogniser and must be re-measured against the
+`TestONNX*` tests, not eyeballed.
