v3.16.0

Added

• "load-bearing" (metaphor) to Tier 1 word table — LLMs, especially Claude, use "load-bearing" as a portable label for any dependency the argument rests on: "load-bearing assumption," "load-bearing claim," "load-bearing test," "load-bearing invariant." Added to both the SKILL.md Tier 1 table and the detector engine as a TIER1_PHRASES entry. Matches the hyphenated compound only — unhyphenated "load bearing" is ordinary English ("the load bearing down on the bridge"). Construction carve-out: literal uses before a structural noun (wall, beam, column, joist, truss, member, footing, slab, stud, partition, masonry, lintel, pier, rafter, girder, capacity) are exempt, including with one material or position adjective in between (load-bearing structural wall). Abstract-capable nouns (structure, element, frame, foundation) are excluded from the carve-out on purpose, so the metaphor still fires on them. Known gap: predicative use ("the wall is load-bearing") still flags — carve-out design tracked in #56. Replacement: essential, critical, necessary — or say what breaks if you remove it.
