iomgaa 5853c3f8ff fix: keep the accounting path degrading after the wrapper change
Letting SourceNotConfiguredError through the gate wrappers opened a hole
the recheck caught: _record_quietly only degrades GovernanceBackendError,
so an assembly defect raised from the accounting side would now escape and
destroy a response from a call that had already genuinely succeeded. That
inverts the exact invariant _record_quietly exists to hold.

Widening _record_quietly is the right fix rather than narrowing the
wrappers, because that layer degrades by what the path is (accounting, the
call is already done) rather than by which error type shows up. Narrowing
would have left 4 of 9 wrapper methods as exceptions to a rule nobody can
remember.

No backend raises it from an accounting method today, so this is a
guardrail for whoever adds source-name validation to a breaker backend.

The stub that first reported this green was wrong: its record_success
lacked count_attempt, so it raised TypeError and the wrapper relabeled it.
Fixed signature, then the test failed as it should have.

Also finishes the three-to-five leak path correction across the four
remaining spots, including the wiki summary card that indexes this design.

iomgaa 1fa91cf73d docs: add the implementation plan for issue #7
Five tasks, with the ARCHITECTURE section 6.1 revision first so the code
never contradicts the single source of truth, and the reparenting kept
atomic because scope is a required keyword argument and any split would
leave an unrunnable tree.

The Codex review caught that the planned test evidence pointed at the
wrong stubs: the ones at test_backpressure.py:176-186 cover accounting-side
degradation, not the three gate paths that actually leak to callers, and
try_acquire and try_enter have no stub at all.
