Cut review-cost drivers: turn-aware models, inline diffs, scoped evidence

Round-2 fractals eval regressed to 70min/32.2M tokens (vs round-1's
42.8min/14.5M) while reaching baseline-parity quality. Per-subagent turn
profiling attributed it to: haiku dispatches taking 2-3x the turns of
sonnet (678 of 1197 subagent turns), reviewers re-fetching diffs by hand
(518 Bash calls), and evidence-rule narration. Changes: turn-count-beats-
token-price model guidance; controllers paste small diffs into reviewer
prompts (reviewers then need few or no tool calls); evidence scoped to
findings and would-be-bare-yes checks; Important defined as cannot-trust-
until-fixed with coverage suggestions Minor; fixes dispatched only for
Critical/Important.
