Every control carries retires_when

EVERY CONTROL CARRIES RETIRES_WHEN

A field note from the same source as the watch essay: a control with no retirement condition is refused at creation.

The watch essay walks all five anti-accretion laws. This note keeps one of them and walks around it.

Nothing is ever removed because nothing has a stated condition under which it should be.

`retires_when` becomes a required field.

That is the whole operational claim, sourced from the accepted ADR. Nothing here is a new quote, endorsement, or event.
