phase0: exit criteria met — tokei +10.4% median [8.5%, 12.0%] verified

Attempt 4 (phase0-tokei-002, class 3, ACCEPTED — first auto-accept):
every file was read through encoding_rs_io's DecodeReaderBytes via
generic read_to_end, which zero-fills every grown buffer chunk (~221MB
memset/run, 8.5% of Ir) and grows without a size hint. Patch: fs::read
with a BOM-gated fallback to the identical decode path (a UTF-8-BOM
file transcodes invalid sequences, so the fallback is required for
equivalence). Gates: golden byte-identical; differential fuzz old-vs-
new binaries 4,332 iterations (BOM grid, invalid UTF-8, binary junk,
randomized) zero divergence; 250 upstream tests green; ASan+LSan clean
with ASan-run output hashing to golden. Bench: +9.9% [8.0%, 12.7%].

Attempt 5 (phase0-tokei-003, ship tree, ACCEPTED): stacks fat LTO+cgu=1
(real +1.6% standalone but under threshold, phase0-tokei-001) on the
accepted patch; benched as a whole vs pristine: +10.4% [8.5%, 12.0%].
Median clears the Phase 0 exit bar; CI lower bound 8.5%.

Case study written (results/phase0/case-study-tokei.md), ledger at 5
attempts, CLAUDE.md phase line moved to Phase 1, next hypotheses
logged (tokei class-5 byte-skip table; comrak class-3 arena).

-Phase 0 dry run in progress (see SPEC §5 for the phase plan and exit

+  zeroing eliminated + fat LTO, byte-identical, 4,332-iteration

+- Two null/sub-threshold results correctly rejected and logged.
