Rubric upgrade: agenticness v3.0 (8 dims, /32) → v3.1 (9 dims, /36). Adds Dim 9 (Operator Sovereignty), splits Dim 6 into 6a/6b lenses, tightens Dim 4 autonomous-retry distinction. Not a product change — score shift reflects new dimension + recalibrated rubric, not a change in the tool. Fanout suppressed.
