fix: correct inst_018 classification of Tractatus as development tool

## Problem
inst_018 incorrectly treated "development framework" as a limitation or
early-stage status, when it's actually the CORRECT classification.

## User Clarification
Tractatus IS a development tool (like IDE, linter, framework):
- Runs in developer environments to help build projects
- The websites/SaaS built WITH Tractatus go to production
- Tractatus itself is the development platform

## Changes to inst_018
**Old restriction**: Don't claim "production-ready" (implied always wrong)
**New restriction**: Don't claim "production-ready" WITHOUT testing evidence

**Key updates**:
- Added: "Development tool" is correct classification, not limitation
- Changed focus: Restriction is about testing/validation status
- Allowed: "production-ready development tool" ONCE validated
- Preserved: No unverifiable claims about adoption/customers

## Parameters Updated
- tool_category: "development_tool" (correct classification)
- category_is_correct: true
- focus_restriction: "testing_validation_status"
- allowed_once_validated: ["production-ready development tool", ...]

## Impact
Framework will now:
 Accept "development tool" as permanent correct status
 Allow "production-ready" claims once testing validates it
 Block unverified testing/stability claims
 Preserve honesty requirements (inst_016, inst_017)
