fix(harness): correct docstring_of — a slot-0 string is a docstring only in function-like scopes; genexps do not reserve slot 0, modules/class bodies store __doc__ explicitly. 0 spurious / 0 missed over 2,158 code objects vs ast.get_docstring, 13 tests. disassemble_v2 defaults to doc_rule=published so published inputs stay reproducible.

+
+    `docstring_of_published` asked only "is co_consts[0] a string", which is not the question:
+    whether a slot-0 string is a docstring depends on WHAT KIND OF SCOPE the code object is.
+    Measured over the two published benchmarks, the published rule emitted a DOC line for 98 code
+    objects that have no implicit docstring: 94 on csn-600 (13.4% of its DOC lines) and all 4 on
+    mbpp-383. A DOC line is presented to the model as recovered ground truth, so a wrong one is
+    not noise -- it is an instruction to reproduce a docstring that was never in the source.
+
+    What CPython 3.12 actually does, measured rather than assumed:
+
+    * A FUNCTION / lambda / async function with no docstring RESERVES slot 0 and fills it with
+      `None`; with a docstring, slot 0 is the docstring. So for these scopes "slot 0 is a string"
+      is already exactly right, and the published rule was never wrong here. (This is why the
+      defect is invisible at function level: 2 of 605 function-scope emissions.)
+
+    * A GENERATOR EXPRESSION is CO_OPTIMIZED like a function but does NOT reserve slot 0 -- its
+      first ordinary literal lands there. `sum(x for x in xs if x != '=')` yields
+      `co_consts[0] == '='`, and the published rule reports `'='` as a docstring. A genexp has no
+      `__doc__` at all. 8 such emissions on csn-600, 3 on mbpp-383.
+
+    * A MODULE or CLASS BODY stores `__doc__` EXPLICITLY (`LOAD_CONST <doc>; STORE_NAME __doc__`),
+      so its docstring is already visible in the instruction stream and nothing was destroyed --
+      emitting DOC duplicates it. And when there is no docstring, slot 0 is simply the first
+      const, which may be a DEFAULT ARGUMENT value reached only inside the defaults tuple
+      (`co_consts = ('WMAP5', <code>, None, ('WMAP5',))`) -- so it is not even referenced
+      directly, and an "is slot 0 loaded" test would still call it a docstring. 86 emissions on
+      csn-600, 1 on mbpp-383.
+
+    Hence: function-like scope, and not one of the angle-bracketed compiler-generated scopes.
+    `<genexpr>`, `<listcomp>`, `<setcomp>`, `<dictcomp>` and `<lambda>` can never collide with a
+    user identifier, so co_name is a sound discriminator. A lambda cannot carry a docstring
+    either (its body is a single expression), so excluding it costs nothing.
+
+    Exact on both published benchmarks against `ast.get_docstring` ground truth: 0 spurious,
+    0 missed, over 2,158 code objects. See test_rep_docstring.py.
