Raises the pinned floors to flopscope>=0.12.1,<0.13.0 and whestbench>=0.16.1,<0.17.0, matching the releases that just shipped.

What changed in the meter. flopscope 0.12.1 makes a symmetry tag describe the buffer it is attached to. flops.as_symmetric() validates within a tolerance, and it now makes the data exactly match the claim before tagging — each orbit takes its first entry. Data that is already exactly symmetric, such as an identity or a covariance built as X.T @ X, is untouched and costs the same; that covers nearly every use in the kit. flops.symmetrize() gains mode="canonical-copy" beside the unchanged default, and it remains available for symmetry groups too large for the default to enumerate.

What moves a FLOP figure. fnp.full and fnp.full_like no longer infer a symmetry from shape when fill_value is an array rather than a scalar, so results built that way are priced as the dense arrays they are. A scalar fill is unaffected at every shape. Announced in the changelog, since the kit is the published spec of the live round.

Verified against the published wheels (flopscope 0.12.1, whestbench 0.16.1): 47 tests pass, including test_flopscope_cost_docs.py and test_rounds_doc.py, which assert documented figures against real behaviour rather than restating them.

Folded in a second commit correcting stale grader-pin claims found while checking the changelog for stale values.

The kit described the evaluator as still on whestbench@v0.15.0 + flopscope[server]==0.11.0 with an open PR to move it. The evaluator is in fact on v0.16.0 + flopscope[server]==0.12.0 — the claim was two releases behind, in four places: the pyproject pin note, the changelog entry for the 0.16.0 move, the test_flopscope_cost_docs.py header, and the FAQ's atomic-pair answer.

With this bump the kit leads the grader by one patch on each rather than trailing it. The pin note now says so, and says why it is safe: the only price 0.12.1 moves is full/full_like given a non-scalar fill_value, and nothing in docs/ builds an array that way — which test_flopscope_cost_docs.py is the standing gate on.
