Remove the stale fail-loud reference from the native-Rust convention.

The PR objective says that the native-Rust convention no longer includes the fail-loud preference. This line still includes it. Keep the native-Rust preference here and leave the separate boundary rule in Design principle 6.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Review comment at @CLAUDE.md at line 59:
Update the native-Rust convention to state only the preference for native Rust
implementations, removing its reference to fail-loud behavior. Leave the
separate boundary rule in Design principle 6 unchanged.

## Design principles (fleet directives, zackees/ci.yml#163)

Agent and review guidance from zackees/ci.yml `docs/policy-rust.md` ("Design principles, narrowed"). Not enforced by ci-lint; no rule ID.

1. **Search before you add.** Before adding a resolver, detector, predicate, guard or path helper, `rg` for an existing one. Reuse it, or say in the PR why it does not fit.
2. **Conflicting implementations get a research issue, not an inline winner.** If the same concept is implemented more than once with observably different behaviour and fixing it needs a design decision, file `research: N conflicting implementations of X -- which is canonical?` listing every copy (`file:line`) and what the difference does to real input; cross-reference it and carry on with your task. Copies that behave identically are a refactor, not an issue.
3. **Keep behaviour changes and refactors apart.** Separate commits, preferably separate PRs, never one mixed diff.
4. **Refactor first only when you would grow a giant function.** If a fix would add more than 50 lines to a function already over 200 lines, extract first in a separate behaviour-preserving change with characterization tests written first (RED -> GREEN). Otherwise fix it where it belongs; no unrequested restructures.
5. **Function and file size follow the complexity ratchet (`RUST-018`).** Until it is wired into this workspace's `Cargo.toml`, new functions stay under clippy's `too_many_lines` (100) and `cognitive_complexity` (25). A function carrying an `#[expect]` must not grow; delete the `expect` once it is back under. Never split a file with `include!` fragments to dodge a length ceiling. Before splitting a hot file, check `git branch -a --contains` for in-flight branches -- a split is a rename and conflicts destructively.

Use a path-aware branch comparison instead of git branch -a --contains.

git branch -a --contains lists branches that contain a commit, which defaults to HEAD. It does not identify in-flight branches or inspect whether those branches modify this file. The documented check can therefore miss the conflicts it is intended to detect.

Suggested edit 
- Before splitting a hot file, check `git branch -a --contains` for in-flight branches -- a split is a rename and conflicts destructively.
+ Before splitting a hot file, inspect active branches and PRs for edits to the file; compare candidate branches with their merge base.

This correction targets the command contract stated in the directive.

Update the hot-file splitting guidance in the complexity ratchet paragraph to
replace the `git branch -a --contains` check with instructions to inspect active
branches and PRs for edits to the file and compare candidate branches with their
merge base.

6. **Fail fast, and delete before you abstract.** Reject invalid input at the boundary with a typed error; never fall back silently to a degraded path (that includes silent Python fallbacks for Rust-owned paths). Prefer deleting code to adding a layer. No new trait until there are two real implementations (a test double does not count).
7. **Existing boundaries beat generic DRY.** Platform modules, Dylint-enforced layering (`dylints/ban_std_pathbuf`), crate boundaries and documented deliberate copies win over removing duplication. Do not copy code across a crate boundary to get around it -- say the boundary hurts. An undocumented copy is a finding under 2; a documented one is not.

## Common Gotchas

- The installed `fastled` CLI on PATH may be a Python compatibility shim or stale script; the bundled native binary is `fastled[.exe]`.
