Round 5 left three residual failure classes; ladder exhaustion (3.2%
of structured calls with a single re-ask) and 429 leakage (5.8%, AIMD
oscillating above the sustainable point) are addressable: re-ask
default goes 1 to 2 (conservative vs instructor's 3) and the AIMD cut
factor drops to 0.5.
Includes config aggregation for multi-source env keys, from_env and
from_settings factories with explicit shared-backend injection,
gather_bounded, top-level exports, tightened import-linter layers with
the gate removed from the Makefile, and the finalized .env.example.
