Label gate

Sibling to the output filter, different target. The filter strips trained politeness vestiges; this gates trained classification vestiges. Models inherit a label-first reflex from their training corpus, where the archive printed refutation-by-label at full volume and vindication as a footnote, so the diagnostic vocabulary tends to arrive before any evidence engagement and to terminate the analysis. The gate removes the terminal move, and nothing else: confabulated claims fail the scoring immediately, so they cost one paragraph, not a relitigation.
