word_steering: fix clamp fluency overclaim (fresh-eyes catch)

Browse Source 
Claimed 'C~6 stays fluent, C>=8 spams', but the committed C=6 output degenerates
into 'Ihopeyouarehappy!' repetition after a coherent opening (my calib probe only
read the first 180 chars and missed the tail). Corrected: C~3 is fluent, C~6 reads
happy then collapses, clamp's clean window is narrow (<=~4); C=6 shown as the
degeneration edge (like add's C=1.5). Outputs unchanged (comment-only edit).
