fix(story-mode): the badge counts the card it sits on, opinions mid-step, a deviation is a note (review round 10)

From the fact-checker:
- "+37" sat on mathx.py's card, which has 11 of those lines; with
  several files the badge now counts the card in front (the Director's
  cut keeps every file's count).
- A second opinion asked in the middle of a step's calls read "after
  asking"; it now reads "along the way, asks a stronger AI model…".
- "Two places where I didn't follow your wording exactly" under
  "Mission complete!": not following your words is a note ("Done, with a
  note"), and the sentence counts as a word on what you asked.
- A test run that patched a file written a panel before said "Claude
  writes" it: whole files are written, patched ones changed ("Claude
  writes pyproject.toml and changes test_csvstat.py; …").
