Verified: the marker is off Turn.content, board render confirmed clean under show_rationale=True, suite at 1159 passed. Sabotage-checked by reintroducing the old [seeded] planted answer string, both new tests go red exactly as expected. Clean fix, approving.

Fixes #392.
Summary
A seeded turn with no supplied utterance got a synthetic
[seeded] planted answer: 'X'content default. That was harmless until #377 started renderingTurn.contentunder--show-rationale-- now the holdout reads the harness's own "this is planted" tag, and any referee/judge scanning whole turns (referee._default_shortcut_detector,blind_metric.latch_rate) treats the marker as stated reasoning. Cannot-fail-by-construction, #374 family.Dropped the marker: the
seededflag and the committed answer already record the plant, so no supplied content means empty content.anchored_seed/prescreen_flagalready pass real prose for exactly this reason.Notes
No committed number is affected -- nothing's been run with
--show-rationaleyet -- but it's armed for the next #270/#271/#115/#221 run. Pinned two ways: the seeded turn's content stays empty, andrender_board(show_rationale=True)doesn't surface the marker. Both went red on the marker before the fix.The two adjacent renderer issues you flagged in the same pass (
multi_round.pyindent, the tripwire regex) are split out into #412 rather than bundled here, since they're coupled to each other and separate from the marker leak. @sebasmos mind a look?
