Run 10: organic recovery achieved - minerals are not a commons

Browse Source 
Recovery blocker was material, not motivational. Two fixes: (1) harvest
floors and commons debris apply only to living, regenerating resources -
stone does not regrow, so "leave half" merely stranded the world supply
and kept the homeless homeless forever; minerals now quarry to depletion
for every soul equally. (2) Matter conservation: idle variety-gathering
touches only renewables, and packs may only shed what the land replaces
- lossy make-room had milled 900+ stone to dust during demand flapping.

Verified over 260 headless days: year-1 winter still wrecks the naive
town, it rebuilds in 20 days, famine survivors found the first granaries
from hunger memory, and year-2 winter passes with zero ruins on stored
reserves. The town has a history now: naive youth, catastrophe,
learning, resilient maturity.

Remaining tuning in FINDINGS.md: granary sprawl, post-famine nourishment.
