ruling: phase0-comrak-002 (mimalloc) ACCEPTED, scoped to the comrak CLI workload

Human ruling on the needs-human-review allocator swap (+4.6%, CI
[+3.3%,+5.8%]): accepted as a real win for the measured comrak CLI
single-stream markdown-render workload, explicitly not a blanket
mimalloc mandate. Ledger row stays needs-human-review (append-only);
the ruling is documented in results/rulings/phase0-comrak-002.md and
reflected in the case study.

**Human ruling (`results/rulings/phase0-comrak-002.md`): ACCEPTED,
scoped to the comrak CLI single-stream markdown-render workload** — a
real win for the measured use, deliberately *not* a blanket "always use
mimalloc" mandate. The tier forced the judgment; the judgment is bounded
and written down. The ledger row stays `needs-human-review` (append-only
records what the pipeline decided); the ruling is the human layer on
top.
