docs: evidence sweep for the 64 undeclared ratio packages

Per package: description, requirer, install date, bucketed into candidates (30), dependency-pulled (6), orphaned libraries (7), and structural (21). The include/ignore pass reads the candidates bucket; rerun make package-diff after to confirm the count drops.

+#+TITLE: Undeclared ratio packages — include/ignore evidence
+#+AUTHOR: Craig Jennings
+#+DATE: 2026-07-14
+
+Evidence sweep for the "Review undeclared ratio packages for installer inclusion" task. Source: =make package-diff= run on ratio 2026-07-14 (64 explicit packages installed but not declared; the June run saw 62). Per package: pacman's description, what requires it (dependency vs standalone), and the install date. The include/ignore decisions are Craig's; the buckets below carry the default lean.
+
+Rerun =make package-diff= after any include pass to confirm the count drops.
+
+** Candidates to declare (30)
+Explicitly installed apps and tools with nothing requiring them. Each needs Craig's include/ignore call.
