SAFETY-40: the integrator bound is not a BUG SIGNAL; numbers from the clamp tick
The clamp alarm gave `i_clamped` (normal anti-windup) the over-rating BUG SIGNAL text, printed `Decision.i_w` as "the loop asked for", and printed `self.target` (after slew/freeze) as "was clamped to". - clamp.loop_clamp_note(): i_clamped says "the loop's integrator reached its N W anti-windup bound" with this tick's command; clamped keeps BUG SIGNAL with the requested command and the clamp's own result. - Decision carries i_bound_w / requested_w / clamped_w, set at the clamp. - i_clamped still counts and notifies (same id, cadence, SAFETY-41 escalation) but as a WARNING, amber row, plain title. A bug has its own notification budget and its text is not overwritten within an episode. - test_clamp.py part 9: red on the old code per defect; 5 mutations killed. - DOCS.md alarm section (and its stale 30 s cadence), DECISIONS/SAFETY-40.
