Give the reviewer a line budget for non-test code

Review attention is finite, so REV-3b puts a number on it: non-test
added and modified lines stay under a thousand, and past that the review
asks for a split plan or a stated exemption on the largest contributing
file.

The rule says where the number comes from, because that is the part
easy to get wrong. The host supplies it; the reviewer reports it. A
model counting the diff itself would be counting a patch that is
truncated for exactly the large files the budget exists for. Tests,
docs, lock files and pure renames stay outside the budget, and deletions
never consume it, so the rule cannot be satisfied by writing fewer
tests or punish a cleanup.

The review-readiness prompt said in as many words that a large diff is
never sufficient on its own, which would have argued against the new
rule every time it fired. It now records volume above the budget as a
concerns reason in its own right, while the code path that already
requires two grounded reasons keeps size alone from reaching
needs_rework. A test pins the two halves together.
