After a merge decideEmbedState became the canonical guard and inlines the cycle/too-deep logic, leaving these predicates called only by their own tests. Remove them (and their test blocks); keep PAGE_EMBED_MAX_DEPTH (used by decideEmbedState). Production behavior stays covered by decide-embed-state.test.ts.
