pm: a same-head PASS record that still lists an open should-fix clears the queue guard #33604

Filing gate: ① (follow-up G of a Fable evaluation of the low-risk Tier H delegation that Leehom asked for, write-up /mnt/project-files/pm-orders/review/33531-delegation-review.md, read on PR #33531 head e2b1cabc; rated not blocking the merge of #33531). reach: a head whose record is PASS with a should-fix still owed can be landed by the seat, because the guard reads only the word PASS.

What is wrong. The contract-review rule says a should-fix earns a delta review of its fix before landing. The queue guard (and the low-risk arm in PR #33531) reads VERDICT: PASS on a same-head record and nothing else, so a PASS record that lists an open should-fix on that very head clears the guard.

What lands. Either the guard reads the record's finding grades and refuses a same-head PASS that lists an open must-fix or should-fix, or the seat's pre-landing check does, and the rule text says which. Pin it.
