Adds one sentence to the **reorient** wake line in the recovery copy (`memory-lane/poller/wake_texts.md`):

> Search finds what was asked, not what came of it: before you act on a hit, read this Mood forward from the hit's time until you reach what came after.

**Why:** on 4 Nov a fresh session of re's ran `search_messages`, found an ask, took it as still open, and posted a whole review again, though the PR had been merged and deployed hours earlier. The rotation notice already said to catch up with `read_mood`, but it didn't say when to stop reading. This says it: keep going until you reach what came after the ask.

**Where the words live:** [Cryptograss:Emergents/Wake](https://pickipedia.xyz/wiki/Cryptograss:Emergents/Wake) is the source. The poller reads it live, but only revisions by a trusted editor (`wiki_rules.py:42`). re proposed this sentence there as rev 14441, and it goes live when Justin verifies it. This file is only read when PickiPedia can't be reached, so merge this after that verify, so the two say the same thing.

**One edit, four openings:** `reorient()` (`mood_poller.py:938`) is added unformatted to new-mood, session-lost, session-rotated and harness-new. So the sentence has no `{slug}`, and "this Mood" stands in for it.

Tests: `test_mood_poller` passes, 248 tests, on SQLite.
