Reconcile with the create-extractor routine→task conversion

The rebase onto main crossed #757, which moved dev/routines/create-extractor/
into .claudinite/local/packs/gcec/tasks/create-extractor/ and deleted
routine.md + 4-postconditions.sh — two files this branch had edited. Their
content is ported to where that work now lives:

- task.md §3 gains the overrides-only guidance and the "if the case passes with
  an empty extract(), delete the source" outcome, and its write-surface line
  admits the regenerated load list for that one case.
- postconditions.sh gains the matching escape hatch, plus the 1b check that the
  load list may only differ because the scaffolded source was deleted.
- task.md's "What a correct extractor looks like" no longer claims a matched
  source is the only extractor that runs and must produce every field itself —
  the generic extractor is the base layer under it now. That sentence was
  written for the old architecture and would have mis-taught every future run.

Also swept the vocabulary through the files #757 introduced (task.md, triage.js,
prepare.test.js) and restored the fileDescriptions/RULES prose the conflict
resolution had taken from the upstream side.
