Enable measured provenance relaxation for the Microsoft badge

The OCR badge census split the 343 Microsoft-C2PA uploads into 86 badge
carriers and 257 true badge-less files (the watermark is a per-user opt-in).
Badge-less scores max 0.251 / p99 0.213, so the 0.266 relaxed gate admits the
three faint badges in [0.251, 0.38) with zero measured false fills; re-verified
on the provenance path as 3 band detections and 0/257 badge-less fires.

wraps the pill with NCC slack.

cohort the strict-only note was waiting for became available: an OCR badge
census split the 343 Microsoft-C2PA uploads into 86 badge carriers and 257
true badge-less files (the watermark is a per-user opt-in, so 75% of MS
uploads carry none). Badge-less max 0.251 / p99 0.213, so the relaxed band
[0.251, 0.38) holds three genuine faint badges and zero false fills
(measured 3/3; doubao ships 0.7 on a 58%-precision band). Strict controls
max 0.293 / p99 0.200 vs the 0.38 gate.

solid with dark-text holes, exactly the template's shape.
