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.

-#### Risk tiers, not one boolean
-
-`Destructive` on a tool row is one bit set by whoever ticked the checkbox on
-`/tools`. It is a mechanism, and it never said which acts are destructive,
-whether a confirmed act stays confirmed, or what a new tool domain inherits.
-`internal/tool/risk.go` is the policy (Vikunja #449). The tier is DERIVED from
-the row, not stored, so it can be argued with in one place instead of being
-whatever the last person to enable the tool believed.
-
-| Tier | What it is | What it costs |
-|---|---|---|
-| `safe` | a read, or a change he can undo by saying the opposite | runs on first hearing |
-| `destructive` | it changes something real and undoing it takes work | one confirm turn, every time |
-| `irreversible` | the thing does not come back: a wipe, a format, a delete with no bin | voice may not authorise it at all |
-
-Three rules fall out, and they are the part that was missing:
-
-- **Which acts are destructive is not only the checkbox.** A house row always
-  is, because there is no read-only way to turn the heating off. A row whose
-  argv names one of the irreversible verbs always is, whatever the row says.
-- **A confirmed act never stays confirmed.** At any tier. A confirmation binds
-  one capability, one target and one argument list, and it dies with the parked
-  turn (90s). "The same act again" is a new act. A sticky confirm is a standing
-  grant and nothing on the voice path may hold one.
-- **A new domain inherits `destructive`, not `safe`.** A dispatch shape the
-  policy does not recognise gets the confirm turn. A domain argues its way down
-  to running freely; it never has to argue its way up to being gated.
-
-The irreversible tier is refused rather than asked about, because a confirm
-turn would be theatre: everything that proposed the act — an STT guess, a
-router guess, a fuzzy allowlist match — is a guess, and a spoken "да" checks
-none of it. She names the gap and he runs it himself. The row stays enabled;
-refusing to run it from voice is not the same as taking it off the allowlist.

-## A list is the fourth shape
-
-Facts, notes and tasks were the three append-only shapes. `list_items` is the
-fourth (Vikunja #453): an item, a status, and a list tag.
-
-It is not a task. Milk is not work, nothing prioritises it, and the ranker must
-not start counting groceries as outstanding errands. It is not a fact either,
-because it claims nothing about the world. What it is, is a set that grows and
-shrinks.
-
-The property that makes the separate table worth it: no predicate reads a list.
-Nothing ranks it, nothing nudges about it, the digestion worker ignores it. So
-two people adding to the same list at once cost nothing — there is no order to
-disagree about and no lifecycle past crossed-off.
-
-The unique index is the tasks one, per list, and live rows only. Saying "молоко"
-twice before the shop is one line; saying it again next week, after the last one
-was crossed off, is a new line.
-
-Spoken, it is four turns: add, read back, cross one item off, cross the lot off.
-All four are matched deterministically in `internal/router/list.go` and all four
-run at stage 0, because an add and a read-back are cheap and should not depend on
-the resident model having a good turn. Crossing one item off claims the turn only
-when the list holds that item, which is what keeps "купил новый ноутбук" a note.
