What to build

Narrowed 2026-10-01. Most of this ticket has landed or no longer applies:

Already landed: lint:meaning (RULE-068) catches a retired term and a stale count.
No longer applies: lint:adrs refuses superseded-by and amendment notes since the register was rebuilt as one record per decision (docs: rebuild the decision register as one record per decision #183), so a superseded citation cannot exist.

What remains is the status field: every decision record whose claim is settled carries status: accepted, so the field distinguishes something.

Acceptance criteria

Every record with claim: settled has status: accepted, in both registers.
A lint rule refuses a settled record that is not accepted, with a ledger row and a failing fixture.
