v3.0.0 — 22nd-Pass Audit Sync: Full Template Parity

Safety-Critical Gate Fixes

• 6V gate: Corrected to "worse-of" dual system (percentage-based AND fixability-based)

• Stage 1 gate: Reclassified — no formal PASS/FAIL gate
• 6V/7V scenario caps: Split into distinct rows (150 for 6V full, 15 for 7V smoke)
