• explaining that “relevant conduct, . . . , is a term with a specialized meaning under the guidelines”
• holding \we are required to remand for resentencing before a different judge\
• finding a breach when a plea agreement’s ambiguous restriction on the use of “other relevant conduct” at sentencing was construed against the government to bar a leadership-role enhancement
