Summary

The plan→implement→audit remediation loop structurally cannot converge because three independent design properties compound: (1) audit-impl extracts requirements via per-round LLM sampling with no completeness contract — extraction is non-deterministic across rounds, so round N can surface requirements round N-1 read but never flagged; (2) plan structure allows behavioral requirements to be stated in Design Decisions prose without being echoed into Implementation Steps, creating an ambiguity trap that two different models on two different passes both fell into; (3) check_loop_iteration uses >= comparison, so audit_remediation_max_retries=2 permits only 1 remediation cycle, not the 2 its description promises.

The immunity plan addresses all three compounding causes plus the broader class of similar bugs elsewhere in the system. The approach makes non-convergence structurally impossible rather than fixing the single observed failure.

Closes #4177

- Replace "skip this step" with "omit this check" to avoid triggering
  the always-has-no-write-exit semantic rule pattern
- Update recipe diagram hashes for implementation, implementation-groups,
  and remediation after ingredient default change
- Shorten assertion messages exceeding 99-char line limit
