Clip Direction Three-Row Scan

Clipping has direction and a status bit, not just a max-code rule.

Clipping has direction and a status bit, not just a max-code rule. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.
