Subject: [PATCH] test(W7c): match retro clock rule case-insensitively, drop
 proximity regex

W7c conversion (t02 #11, #12).

Removed assertion groups (invariant -> remaining protection):
- /NEVER from `date`/ (caps): today comes from the session reminder, not the
  system clock -> kept free: /session reminder/ and /never from `date`/i.
- /(?:disclosure[\s\S]{0,200}narrative|narrative[\s\S]{0,200}disclosure)/
  (200-char word-proximity window): offline/local-only runs disclose that the
  window is not freshness-verified -> kept free: the exact disclosure string
  'offline run, window not freshness-verified' (it reaches the retro output),
  RETRO_REF disclosure and the GUARD_* script checks; gate judge
  'retro/SKILL.md instructions'.

Mutation pass (scratch worktree, retro/SKILL.md.tmpl): 4/4 as expected;
allowing `date` or deleting the disclosure string goes red; lowering NEVER
and rewording the narrative clause stays green. Log:
