Brummel 9fcda8bd0f spec: amend §C4 carve-outs — prelude.ail.json as compile-time-embed exception
Iter form-a.1 recon surfaced a load-bearing constraint the original
spec didn't anticipate: ailang-core embeds prelude.ail.json at
compile time via include_str! + serde_json::from_str (workspace.rs:417,
main.rs:474), and ailang-core cannot import ailang-surface to switch
the embed to .ail (crate-cycle, documented at loader.rs:9-13).

§C4 splits into two carve-out categories:
- (a) seven subject-matter carve-outs (unchanged, the original list)
- (b) one compile-time-embed carve-out: prelude.ail.json

Acceptance criteria #1, #2 and §T4 carve-out inventory test updated
from 7 to 8.

Roadmap: new [milestone] "Prelude embed: Form-A as compile-time source"
queued to retire §C4(b) by either splitting the workspace loader
(prelude-init moves to ailang-surface) or generating prelude.ail.json
via build.rs. examples/prelude.ail (rendered iter form-a.0) is the
dual-form symptom that milestone exists to resolve. Strike the [todo]
"Author examples/prelude.ail" entry — satisfied by iter form-a.0.

Re-grounding-checked PASS over six load-bearing assumptions (embed
sites verified at workspace.rs:417 + main.rs:474; crate-cycle
constraint real; eight carve-outs all on disk; prelude.ail green
under both roundtrip tests).
