#### Completed experiments now evaluate as permanently enabled

Features gated behind a completed experiment were treated as disabled instead of permanently enabled, so functionality that graduated out of experiment status could silently stop working.

The one affected code path was `hcl validate --inputs` with a git filter expression such as `--filter '[HEAD~1...HEAD]'`: after the `filter-flag` experiment completed, the command stopped preparing git worktrees for the filter. Git filter expressions now work with `hcl validate --inputs` again, matching `find`, `list`, and the other commands that accept filters.
