Problem

The CriteriaRules check does not flag the word "no" in criteria text. Its BANNED pattern is /\b(never|not|unsure)\b/i. Two kept S10 fixes removed such a negation ("no earlier ruling and no written rule"; "No test, lint cop, or later gate...") that biased Jev.

Reproduce

n/a: missing check. Criteria text that contains "no" passes CriteriaRules.

Origin

Trigger: decision-system S10 Jev tuning run, merged at aaa6b40b on 2026-10-24 (commits 99dd13c2, 1b36523e)
Improvised this session: removed the negations by hand
Chain: biased criteria ← negation word "no" ← CriteriaRules BANNED lacks "no" (DESIGN: criteria_rules.rb)
Root candidate: none found; searched CriteriaRules, negation, BANNED, criteria in open issues
Where: Decision::Model::CriteriaRules

## Problem The CriteriaRules check does not flag the word "no" in criteria text. Its `BANNED` pattern is `/\b(never|not|unsure)\b/i`. Two kept S10 fixes removed such a negation ("no earlier ruling and no written rule"; "No test, lint cop, or later gate...") that biased Jev. ## Reproduce n/a: missing check.
