Both rows had "Full phases, checkpoints every 1 min" in the When
column — which is actually Phase Budget Guide content — making them
indistinguishable. The rows also had 3 cells instead of 4.
Add meaningful differentiators:
- Advanced: scope-driven ("Multi-system changes, cross-cutting concerns,
significant refactors")
- Deep: novelty-driven ("Architectural decisions, novel problem domains,
research-heavy work")
Move "Full phases, checkpoints every 1 min" to the Phase Budget Guide
column where it belongs, fixing the cell count.
Fixes danielmiessler#6.

Problem
The effort level table has two issues with the Advanced and Deep rows (lines 56-57 of
TheAlgorithm_Latest.md):No When criteria — both say "Full phases, checkpoints every 1 min", which is Phase Budget Guide content accidentally placed in the When column. This makes them indistinguishable.
Malformed rows — both have 3 cells but the header has 4 columns (Tier, Budget, When, Phase Budget Guide).
Fixes #6.
Fix
Add differentiated When criteria and move "Full phases, checkpoints every 1 min" to the Phase Budget Guide column:
The distinguishing axis: Advanced = wide scope (many files, cross-cutting), Deep = novel depth (research, competing approaches, design decisions). This creates a clear gradient:
Extended → quality-focused → Advanced → scope-driven → Deep → novelty-driven → Comprehensive → unconstrained
