Colby McHenry eed16447c3 fix(explore): shrink a later cluster into the remainder instead of dropping it (CG-36)
A file's ranked clusters were all-or-nothing past the first one: the top-ranked
cluster was taken (shrunk to fit when it had to be) and every cluster below it
was rendered whole, then either fit the remainder or was dropped entirely. On a
file whose top-ranked cluster is TRIVIAL that discards the answer — django's
`db/models/sql/query.py` kept a 22-line glue cluster and dropped the 624-line
`Query` body, spending 1,923 of a 7,947 reservation; okhttp's
`RealInterceptorChain.kt` did the same behind its import header.

The response stayed full, which is why this was invisible: the unspent
reservation carried forward exactly as designed and a file scoring a fifth as
much took the bytes.

Two sites, the same rule — hold the remainder while it is still worth a section
(CG-26's between-FILES lesson, applied between CLUSTERS):

- selection now shrinks a later cluster into what is left of the file's budget,
  by the same whole-member rule the first cluster already used;
- the ceiling trim re-renders the weakest cluster into the room that remains
  before dropping it. On excalidraw's `typeChecks.ts` the section-cost estimate
  missed by 13 chars and a 1,512-char cluster — the file's highest-SCORING one —
  was thrown away to pay for it.

Cluster RANKING is untouched: measured, both real cases lost on `maxImportance`,
not on the density tiebreak the issue suspected, and density-first is what keeps
Alamofire's `Session.swift` from burying its methods under the property list.

Suite (6 repos, clean-rebuilt indexes): all 8 starvation flags cleared,
+1,012 source chars net. django's `sql/query.py` 1,923 -> 10,082 of 7,947,
okhttp's `RealInterceptorChain.kt` 1,474 -> 6,038 of 6,058, gin's
`routergroup.go` 3,273 -> 5,632. okhttp trades its rank-6 file (score 21) for
+7,196 chars in the two files that answer the question.

Ships two fixtures pulling in opposite directions (`starved-cluster-ts` and
`dense-header-ts`), a `spendShareAtLeast` gate in probe-allocation, and
probe-file-spend.mjs — a standing per-file reservation-vs-delivered sweep.

/**
* Regression gate for CLUSTER-LEVEL STARVATION inside one file (task CG-36).
*
* A file's ranked clusters used to be all-or-nothing past the first one: the
* top-ranked cluster was taken (shrunk to fit if it had to be), and every
* cluster below it was rendered whole and then either fit the remainder or was
* dropped entirely. On a file whose top-ranked cluster is TRIVIAL that discards
* the answer — django's `db/models/sql/query.py` kept a 22-line glue cluster and
* dropped the 624-line `Query` body beneath it, spending 1,923 of a 7,947
* reservation, and okhttp's `RealInterceptorChain.kt` did the same behind its
* import header.
*
* What makes it hard to see is that the response stays FULL: the unspent
* reservation carries forward exactly as designed, so a lower-scoring file takes
* the bytes and every envelope-share measure still looks healthy. The gate is
* therefore per-file spend, not share.
*
* Two fixtures, pulling in opposite directions — read them together:
*
* - `starved-cluster-ts` is the defect. Its answer-bearing cluster must be
* SHRUNK into whatever the trivial cluster left, not dropped.
* - `dense-header-ts` is the Session.swift shape that cluster ranking puts
* importance ahead of density FOR. Its query's methods sit ~200 lines under
* a dense property list, and they must keep winning the budget. Any future
* rework of selection or shrinking has to satisfy both.
