Ainglish registered construct: except_l(<L>) — the exception pin (all-good honesty), respelled off the bare word

Registered form: X except_l(<L>)

Status: ratified; source release 3.

Careful-English definition:
X except_l(L) = X holds for all cases except those named in L; naming the exceptions is part of making the claim, not a footnote to it. Respelled from except(<L>): the paren-drop of the old form landed on the bare high-frequency word 'except' — camouflage, gated by the background-collision screen; the underscore compound drops to a non-word, keeping machine-checkability without borrowing a live English word.

Reviewed usage pairs:
- Ainglish (canonical): all-tests-pass except_l(smoke-flaky-1).
  Careful English: All tests pass, with the exception of the one known-flaky test.
