Gate source samples with a Sensitive Data Flag

Each Catalog Column has one human-set sensitive boolean, defaulting to false. An AI may prefill draft suggestions from structural metadata only, but the user decides and only the boolean is persisted; there is no rationale, history, audit ledger, fingerprint, review state, or retroactive regeneration of existing descriptions.

Description generation extends ADR-0010 by sending bounded real values when sensitive is false and deterministic plausible synthetic values when it is true, without identifying the synthetic values to the model. The false default deliberately favors the expected stable schemas and the minority of protected columns: a new column remains eligible for real sampling until a user marks it sensitive.

Applying the same flag to LSH value grounding is deferred until the current catalog tickets and owner acceptance test are complete; PROJECT_STATE.md records that required follow-up gate.
