docs(mcp): document checkClaimEnvelope's accepted v1 gap

Round 7's review found an 8th bypass in the same "value hidden from the
extractor" family as round 6, inside the fold logic round 7's own fix had
just added (a blank line interrupting a folded continuation) — the second
distinct gap found on the first alternate shape tried against that fix.

Decision (Mathias, via the running sweep session): ship this PR's rounds
1-7 as v1 rather than continue incremental patches past the point of
diminishing returns. Every bypass found across all 7 rounds requires the
caller to already hold brain_edit write access and to deliberately
construct a specific malformed-YAML shape with knowledge of this exact
gap — narrow and low-likelihood next to another patch cycle. The real fix
(one shared, tested, encoding-normalized frontmatter parser, replacing the
three independent hand-rolled implementations this bug class keeps
surfacing in) is tracked separately as hyperguild#138.

Document the boundary directly on checkClaimEnvelope so the next person
reading this function knows what's covered and what's a deliberate,
recorded trade-off rather than an unnoticed gap.

 `last_updated` and `source_hash`. Everything else on disk wins. The boundary is
 an explicit allowlist, so a field nobody has thought about stays human-owned.
 
+### Disagreement is reported, not resolved
+
+When the fresh extraction produces a *different version* of a section that
+already exists, the on-disk version still wins — but the run now says so:
+
+```
+wiki/sources/shape-up.md: source now disagrees on section "Summary" — on-disk version kept
+```
+
+That line lands in `log.md` with the rest of the run's warnings. Without it, "the
+source is unchanged" and "the source changed its mind and we ignored it" look
+identical from the outside.
+
+This is deliberately **textual** disagreement, not semantic contradiction: cheap,
+deterministic, no model on the write path. Deciding whether a disagreement is a
+genuine contradiction stays with the Judge-gated `brain-enrich` pass, which is
+approval-gated by design. Detection here, adjudication there.

 ## Re-ingesting an unchanged source is skipped
