correlator: address drb-correlation-review notes on #139

- Document call_severity's routine-coercion asymmetry with incident_type
  (extraction-said-routine vs extraction-said-nothing look identical).
- Test docstring no longer overclaims the ctx-linkage it doesn't cover;
  points to the tests that do (test_consensus_gate.py, test_incident_identity.py).
- scene1 now uses a distinct severity so the test actually exercises both
  fields symmetrically; the 'no flat top-level clobber' claim is now
  asserted, not just commented.
