jaredandClaude Opus 5 4b749205a5 fix: scope suppressed-dollar measurement to the calling verb's own flow family (#9)
Final whole-branch review fix wave for the partial-coverage signposting
feature:

- I1: .suppressed_components() now filters measured recipe components to
  the calling verb's own flow_prefixes. Without this, a candidate recipe
  from the OTHER flow family was always absent from the verb's own view by
  construction and so was always reported as "suppressed" -- fabricating a
  dollar claim across flow families (cog_revenue(category = "Corrections")
  claimed $3.63B excluded that cog_spending() actually reports in full).
- I2: reworded provenance-v1.json's trigger/suppressed_amount descriptions
  to describe what the code actually measures (the verb's underlying long
  view, not "the result"), and to note suppressed_amount can be negative.
  Added ig_recipe_id to the suggestions items' required list, matching the
  key's always-set/nullable runtime behavior.
- I3(a): restated the year/govid literals inside .suppressed_components()'s
  NOT EXISTS subquery so DuckDB can partition-prune that side too (verified
  via EXPLAIN: Scanning Files 1/4 instead of an unfiltered full scan;
  all.equal(old, new) results confirmed unchanged).
- I3(b): added .needs_suppression_query(), a free, exact pre-check reusing
  the verb's own already-computed result$codes_included to skip the anti-
  join round trip on the common fully-covered path, without weakening the
  "suppression can fire with zero gap years" guarantee.
- M4: corrected the overbroad "confines every fire to 2011" scope claim in
  R/suggestions.R and NEWS.md -- the suppressed-dollar measurement is now
  flow-scoped (post-I1), but the empty_year trigger itself is not, and can
  still fire in modern years for a mis-scoped cross-flow-family category.

Added a regression test for I1 plus direct unit-test coverage for the new
flow-family filter and the I3(b) pre-check.
