self-review 2026-08-15: plumb the five fan-effect gauges to durable storage

Browse Source 
engram_act_stats_json emits 27 keys; emit_heartbeat forwarded 22. The five
dropped were the five newest - the degree-correction instruments added
2026-08-11 - so the one subsystem with no track record was also the only one
with no durable record.

The 08-10 review fixed exactly this for hebb_cands/hebb_cand_max/hebb_mass/
hebb_edges and left the rule in a comment right above the gap: an instrument
that is computed but not plumbed is not an instrument, it is a local
variable. The rule was then not applied to the next thing added. Plumbing is
a checklist item for every new gauge, not a one-time fix.

First heartbeat after the change already earned it: fan_hits 284 of
fan_steps 289 (98.3% of traversal steps binding) with fan_mean 0.5198 against
fan_min 0.5 - the degree correction is sitting at its floor on nearly every
step, which is a constant tax rather than a correction. That was invisible
before today.

// Fan-effect gauges (2026-08-15 self-review). Same defect as the block
// directly above, one release later: engram_act_stats_json emits 27 keys,
// this function forwarded 22. The five it dropped are the five NEWEST —
// the degree-correction instruments added 2026-08-11 — so the one
// subsystem with no track record is also the only one with no durable
// record. The 08-10 comment above states the rule it was written to fix
// ("an instrument that is computed but not plumbed to durable storage is
// not an instrument, it is a local variable"), and the rule was then not
// applied to the next thing added. Plumbing is not a one-time fix; it is
// a checklist item for every new gauge.
// fan_mean — mean degree correction applied on the last activation.
// Drifting toward 0 ⇒ hub nodes are being damped into
// irrelevance; toward 1 ⇒ the correction is doing nothing.
// fan_min — the strongest single correction applied.
// fan_hits — how many traversal steps the correction actually bound on.
// 0 with fan_steps > 0 ⇒ the mechanism is inert.
// fan_steps — traversal steps taken (denominator of fan_mean). Also the
// only durable measure of how far activation is spreading.
// fan_dref — reference degree the correction normalises against.
// fan_hits/fan_steps together answer the question hebb_cands/hebb_cand_max
// answers for consolidation: is this quiet because nothing is happening,
// or because a threshold is wrong? Without both, the two look identical.
