tablet 55, second: the judge consults — the Sanhedrin no longer rolls dice

judge.erl chose one of six canned positions by a hash over the question,
its own pid and the clock; a panel of one "accepted" on zero roots and
zero references under "Torah references ground this interpretation" —
the calf, cast by the court itself. Architecture §3.2 says a judge
"consults the specification (L0/L1)"; Construction §3.2 says the
pipeline hands the case roots and torah_refs. Neither happened.

Sanhedrin (Erlang):
- judge.erl: seat N performs step N of the dialectic — interpret,
  challenge, resolve, cycling — through a consult {M, F} in the app env.
  resolved → accept with the verses; challenged (a kushya stands) →
  reject; halt → reject; teiku → abstain. No consult, an error, or a
  consult that raises → abstain, and the reasoning says so; the judge
  stands. judge:start_link/2 takes the seat; panel.erl seats its judges.
- EUnit 54/0: seats cycle; no consult → abstain; resolved → accept with
  #torah_ref{}; a raising consult → abstain and alive; a panel of three
  with a kushya at seat 2 → accepted 2–1, minority preserved with verse.

Pipeline (Elixir):
- VavPipeline.SanhedrinConsult: what a judge asks — TalmudicEngineSocket
  interpret/challenge/resolve over the case's roots, direct (the client's
  stub fallbacks are NOT used: a court that accepts on a stub is the
  calf). Engine absent → {:error, _} → the judge abstains. Registered in
  the sanhedrin env at application start.
- router process_sanhedrin: the case is heard before it is submitted —
  ScopeResolver → Shema context (cloud honoured) → tohu → vayomer
  (Shoresh Engine over the verse) → roots; torah_refs = the scope;
  complexity_hint names the panel (422 on an unknown one); one unit of
  sanhedrin_panels_max per case (503 MANNA_DEPLETED when spent); the
  decision engraved in L3 as an interpretation (panel_size, votes
  for/against, processing_component "sanhedrin", coupling root→verse)
  with the minority beside it (grounding_type achorai); the reply in
  the Tamid's shape (position, reasoning, sources, votes) plus
  grounding {scope, roots_consulted, recorded}.
- Tests: Elixir 628/0 (router 30, incl. monetary → panel 3; no engine →
  teiku with 0 votes, never accepted; fake consult → 2–1 with sources;
  manna → 503; unknown hint → 422); L3 test: interpretation + minority
  rows land.

Pre-existing and untouched: with --include l3 the gate and hakhel
tests fail 17 times on main as well (the gate's local upstream double
refuses connections under the L3 flag) — a separate finding.

Doorpost pin unchanged (no @spec_files touched).

+the Talmudic Engine as what a judge asks, and each seat on a panel
+performs one step of the dialectic over the case's roots — interpret,
+challenge, resolve, cycling by seat. A resolved reading is a vote to
+accept, with its verses; a standing kushya is a vote to reject; teiku
+is abstention; and a judge with nothing to consult abstains and says
