+fix(lint): `array/iter_methods.rs` is back within its raw-handle ceiling (#8493). #8482 added four `get_raw_const_ptr` reads for the join helpers' post-collection receiver reload, taking the module to 6 bare reads against a ceiling of 2 and the workspace to 982 against a baseline of 978 — which turned `lint` red on `main` and, because `lint` is part of `pr-gate`, blocked every open PR. `normalize_array_receiver` only does tag-stripping and a header probe, so the scoped `with_const_ptr` form the ratchet recommends applies directly and preserves the rooting the fix added.
