hph: dissect §13.7 edge-too-long — leaf-sharing artifact + narrow sliver

experiments/diag_edge_too_long.py: the 6 harbor edge-too-long fails are 2
locations — a share=3 combined leaf (247 m², aspect 1.2; flat 8 m cap not
share-aware, unlike quality_size's k×target) accounting for ~4, and one
1.2×16.7 m narrow sliver (~2, also caught by width/proportion). No corridors.
Files homemaker-py-hph (share-aware edge-too-long fix).

Fix: only propagate child ratios for nodes where the parent node was NOT already divided; stale hidden nodes revealed by structural mutations (swap flipping b.below) must NOT contribute their pre-writeback values.

+"""Dissect the edge-too-long fails in the harbor probe best (§13.7 follow-up).
+
+Tests three hypotheses for why edge-too-long is now harbor's top fail class:
+  (1) COMBINED leaf  — a shared leaf (share>1) holds k rooms, so it is ~k× a
+      room's area and its walls run long; would vanish if actually subdivided.
+  (2) CORRIDOR       — a circulation leaf, long+thin; long edge inevitable.
+  (3) NARROW ROOM    — a non-shared room at/near target AREA but high aspect
+      (one wall >8m because the room is too narrow); a real layout problem.
+  (4) OVERSIZE ROOM  — a non-shared room well above target area.
+
+For each flagged leaf prints: type, circ?, share k, area vs (k×)target,
+narrowest width, the long edge length(s), aspect, and a verdict tag.
