docs(permissions): re-anchor the system-context census line citations after the rest-server insertions
Pure line rot, produced by `node scripts/check-system-context-census.mjs --fix`: this card's additions to `rest-server.ts` shifted the cited lines by +24 before the posture block and +79 after it. No prose and no row semantics change — only the line numbers the page cites. check-system-context-census: OK — 106 elevation read sites in 20 packages across 45 files, all anchored; 140 anchors resolve, 27 declared non-read.
