Joseph Ferano 4a6a8fa0f7 Take a restart by its position, off a list that stopped moving
Two frames offering `retry` put both on the break loop's list and only the
inner one within reach: §4's walk takes the first frame offering a name, by
definition, so the outer clause was drawn, offered, and unreachable. The old
prompt showed `retry` twice and sent the string either way. An index is the
only thing that can say which one, which is why SBCL identifies them
positionally too.

An index is worthless against a stack that moves, though, and this one moves:
the break loop is the poll loop, so every restart-case an evaluation enters
pushes and pops the same global list between the listing and the choice. So
the list is read once on entry and copied — names into the agent's own buffer,
frames as the addresses a transfer carries — and every answer comes from that.
The name still travels with the index as a receipt, checked against the
snapshot and refused if the two have drifted, so a bare integer can be wrong
out loud.

And the third state. A restart below the thunk a break is inside was accepted,
announced, and silently not taken: `flan_reload_call` holds its own transfer
channel and drops it on return, so the unwind stops at the thunk. The boundary
is now recorded where it is made, at the call — frames a restart-case inside
the thunk pushes are above it and still work — and such a restart is listed,
marked, and refused with the reason.

`break.flan` grew the shadowed pair, and 900 is a value no by-name lookup in
that file can produce.
