bounds.flan covers this already and the x86 survey cannot see it: the
program picks its case out of (at args 1) and survey.sh runs everything
with no arguments, so re-gating x86's lo <= hi would have failed
nothing. This probe reaches the reversed slice on its own, through
(len args) so that neither optimiser can fold the branch and the checker
has no literal to object to. It matches under the default sweep and
under SURVEY_FLAGS=--no-bounds-checks, which is the claim.
Also records what the same reading turned up and did not fix: x86 still
reports a negative slice-from-ptr promise through flan_slice_error, so
the two backends print different sentences for it, and no corpus program
reaches that case without arguments.
