peah: hear the verse the question is standing in (kohen Day 7, tablet 30)

Every Hebrew question was answered against Bereishit 1:1 —
extract_scope_from_question/1 ignored its argument. ויאמר אלהים יהי אור
(1:3) and ויהי ערב ויהי בקר (1:5) came back sourced from 1:1 with roots
"not in this verse". The grounding check passed by construction.

- L1Index: inverted index consonants → verses over l1/torah, built in
  handle_continue right after start (5853 verses, ~1 s), read-only after.
- ScopeResolver: explicit reference (bereishit/Genesis/בראשית 1:3) first;
  then quoted Torah — most question words in a verse, ties to the verse
  where they stand together in order, then Torah order; else default.
  A reference to a verse L1 lacks is a 422 KIYOR_VALIDATION_FAILED with
  the correction, not a silent 1:1.
- Router: processing.scope reports verse + resolved_by; a default scope
  carries a note saying the verse was assumed, not heard.
- test/tablet30_scope_test.exs: the five Day-7 offerings through the
  real router land on 1:1, 1:1, 1:3, 1:5, 1:1; Shema → Devarim 6:4;
  reference, invalid reference, default confession. 14 tests.

+  Tablet 30 (kohen Day 7, 2026-10-04) — every Hebrew question was answered
+  against Bereishit 1:1. `ויאמר אלהים יהי אור` (1:3) and `ויהי ערב ויהי בקר`
+  (1:5) came back with `sources: [Bereishit 1:1]` and roots marked "not in
+  this verse". `extract_scope_from_question/1` ignored its argument.
+
+  These tests send the Day-7 offerings through the real router and demand
+  that the verse in the answer is the verse in the question.
