2026-09-26: Content-pinned amnesty: a table of paths whose exact blob at the head excuses them from invalidating gate records.

check_paths::invalidating_paths drops a changed path only when excused says the path is listed in ONE_TIME_AMNESTY and its blob at the head is the pinned 40-hex OID; each drop is logged with tracing::warn!. Any later edit changes the OID, so the path invalidates again. The production table is empty, so today nothing is excused.

This file is in coverage::BOUNDARY_FILES: editing it re-opens every gate.

Owner: bench gate. Invariants:

• excused_by returns true only when the path is listed and git reports exactly the pinned 40-hex OID for <head>:<path>; every git failure is false.
