Record the pools that were checked and rejected

Three audio-Scripture sources were investigated this tick and none is
shippable. Writing down WHY, beside the unchecked-pool list, so the
next agent does not spend a tick rediscovering it — each was reachable
and doctrinally sound, and the reason is always coverage or the join
key, never suspicion.

AudioTreasure publishes 9 languages and every one is major; zero
overlap with the gap. Davar is a ministry site rather than a
catalogue, with no per-language page and so no URL a worker could be
sent to. Talking Bibles is the interesting one: 177 real audio Bibles,
open robots.txt, but the player keys languages by an internal numeric
id and publishes no ISO code, so a join could only be by NAME — which
this map refuses, because names collide across unrelated languages. It
turned out not to matter: of the 81 whose names match a language we
carry, ZERO are in the gap, so even a perfect ISO join would have
added no coverage.

GRN is the contrast worth keeping next to them — equally name-shy at
first glance, but 5fish resolves by ISO 639-3 directly, which is why
it is in and these are not.
