Separate SSC8 growth tests from parent SynCom disease and biofilm results #1917

Finding

CommunityMech:000098: SSC8 plant tests did not include added pathogen. The55.6% disease-index reduction and metagenomic biofilm-pathway enrichment belong to the initial16-member SBC experiment, not SSC8. Remove the misassigned pathway node and both cross-experiment arrows; narrow the outcome to measured SSC8 growth. Seven strains promoted Q6 in spent-medium tests but only three pairs were mutually beneficial. Candidate metabolite production/consumption profiles are not isolated compound add-back or rhizosphere flux proof. Preserve positive growth and pairwise assay evidence with partial cross-feeding inference; do not invent a shortcut arrow.
