Fix: source state() budget from budget_lanes planner lane -- cap from registry, spend planner-track only -- preserving card keys.

⚖️Decisions

• Elrond's bypass methodology checklist (a reminder, not a gate -- you've got this): 0. File it requested_mode='bypass' (planner-vs-bypass is a deliberate choice). bypass_start REFUSES a non-bypass initiative (CAROL-INI-1846), and the dispatcher only skips the bypass lane when the mode says bypass -- a 'planner' mistag lets Merlin's pipeline grab the placeholder step and block your finished work. 1. Filed as planned status -- let the bypass claim/activate it; never file active. 2. Open the bypass (bypass_start) with your droid id + the remediation answer (remediates_initiative_id=NNN, or remediates_nothing=True). 3. Work the blocks for your work-type: template -> design -> code -> test -> review. Do the real work; record decisions on the initiative as you make them. 4. Reality is recorded for you at close -- code (files changed), each decision, and the twin-review verdict become real activities tied to this initiative and show in the Activity Tracker like a planner run (CAROL-INI-1840). No dummy rows. 5. Keep the initiative status moving; it parks in 'reviewing' and is tagged uat-pending for you at close (CAROL-INI-1836), so the stuck-watchdog leaves it alone until UAT. 6. Close runs the gates (design/architecture compliance + caller-audit). If a gate flags something pre-existing or unrelated to your change, waive it with a clear written rationale -- audit, don't skip. 7. Bypass skips the planner's auto-orchestration, NOT the standards. Same template checklist, same review, same observability as a planner run. (elrond)
• No regression test exists for this behavior. (elrond)
• [status-router] planned -> executing | event=bypass_executing | bypass transition (or-bx-01)
• [fix] pipeline_switch.state() budget now sourced from budget_lanes planner lane (registry cap + planner-track spend), replacing daily_budget.budget_status provider book. Card keys preserved (exhausted/spent_eur/cap_eur/book=planner/active_lane=provider). Added FIXED_LANE_EUR canonical fallback in budget_lanes.lane_cap_eur so a fixed lane cap survives registry WAL durability blips (protects Monitor AND claude.py enforcement). Registry re-seed blocked by the readonly cross-user WAL trap (carolapps-owned wal) — fallback covers it; registry durability flagged separately. (orion)
• [delivery-check] 4 must-have criteria remain pending at bypass_end — delivery FAILED live re-performance; UAT must grade on live evidence, not checklist silence (CAROL-INI-3020): test test_ini3237.py: FAIL (no tests ran in 0.14s) (orion)
• [status-router] executing -> reviewing | event=bypass_reviewing | bypass transition (or-bx-01)
• [status-router] reviewing -> closed | event=operator_signoff | Auto-accepted (CAROL-INI-1859): Orion-initiated, >2 days in reviewing with no objection. (el-srac-01)

✅Success criteria

• The budget spend shown counts ONLY planner-track (build pipeline) work, not consciousness/chat/creative/albus lanes (must_have)
• The pipeline budget-exhausted pause is driven by the planner lane, consistent with claude.py lane enforcement (must_have)
• A regression test proves state() budget reads the planner lane cap and planner-only spend (must_have)
