ZacharyZhang-NY b696fc78e9 Say what the stop-word list costs and refuse a busy smoke port
The function-word list is fixed on purpose, and a fixed list cannot tell
"the" from "May": both are on it, so a claim built only from words that
double as function words offers nothing to compare and is never citable.
Measured — The meeting is in May, I will do it tomorrow and It can do
that all yield no claim terms, while Will Smith signed the lease still
yields signed / smith / lease. That is fail-closed, but the docstring
claimed the opposite ("only counted if it carries content") and the
checklist never said it. Both now state it, and a test pins it.

The checklist also carried three wrong pins for that list (line, size,
one-line comment) and named "ai" as already excluded when it is not: a
mixed claim still demands ['档案','温器','八度','ai']. The mechanism line
said "the three longest words", which is true of Latin and false of
CJK, where the demanded pairs are spread across the claim.

The smoke script trusted any answer on its port. With a server left over
from another run it measured that one and reported a false failure; it
now refuses a busy port and checks that its own process is still alive
before calling the server ready.

Gates: 325 passed, 60 in the four acceptance files, ruff clean, mypy
cold cache 24 errors in 9 files (the recorded baseline, net zero),
pyright 0, filesize clean, product audit clean, zero multi-line comment
blocks across 141 tracked files, smoke passes and exits 1 on a collision.
