Batch-lock policy

Batch electronic-lock "open" operations across a contiguous address range use the same evidence-gated reasoning as the single-device HazardGate — this preview never actuates a lock.

R1 · Tower 1–2 batch open

Blocked

R1 · Tower 1–2 · bus 1 · addresses 1–100

Evidence gate not satisfied for this range — a real batch-open action would stay disabled until every device in range reports a verified status read.

R2 · Tower 1 batch open

Evidence OK

R2 · Tower 1 · bus 1 · addresses 1–40

Evidence gate satisfied for this range — a real batch-open action would be enabled here, subject to the legacy alias-mismatch quirk (open_ele_lock_list vs. open_sm_lock_list) noted for wire-protocol review.
