docs(adr): a code block inside a record is a specimen, not an example

Ruling A on objectui#8363 (director seat, decision batch #88, 2026-09-08)
lands as text.

CONTRIBUTING.md's `docs/` paragraph now states the convention once: a code
block inside an ADR or a dated audit is a SPECIMEN of what was decided or
measured, fenced `plaintext` — an unhighlighted spelling
check-doc-fence-languages.mjs already lists and check-doc-snippet-types.mjs
does not compile — never ts/tsx/typescript. Code a reader may copy stays in
content/docs/** and skills/objectui/**, where a gate compiles it.

The UNGATED_DOCS header comment in check-doc-snippet-types.mjs annotates the
four ledgered rows as the terminal state: no record is edited to make it
compile, no row is deleted to clear the ledger, and new records carry the
convention instead so the list does not grow.

Both edits are additive text. No record is edited, no ledger row is added,
removed or reworded, and no gate behaviour moves.

 The repository root also has a `docs/` directory, and it is **not** part of the site: it holds internal engineering material (ADRs, audits, architecture notes) that the fumadocs collection never reads, so none of it is rendered or reachable at a `/docs/...` route. A page filed there never reaches the site.
 
+**A code block inside one of those records is a SPECIMEN, not an example to copy.** An ADR states what was decided on a date and a dated audit states what was measured on one, so a snippet inside either is part of the record — edited until it compiles, it makes the record say something it never said. Fence such a block `plaintext` (an unhighlighted spelling `scripts/check-doc-fence-languages.mjs` already lists, and one `scripts/check-doc-snippet-types.mjs` does not compile), never `ts` / `tsx` / `typescript`. Code a reader may copy belongs in `content/docs/**` or `skills/objectui/**`, where a gate compiles it and a wrong line can be fixed without falsifying a record. Maintainer ruling 2026-09-08 (objectui#8363); the four records that predate it are not edited — they are named, with their measured counts, in that gate's `UNGATED_DOCS` ledger.
