EDITORIAL REVIEW - AI-assisted, human review pending
The manuscript distinguishes the original frozen estimand, post-freeze diagnostic analyses and prospective repairs. Counts refer to assignments, completed observations, unique semantic payloads or deterministic checks explicitly. Models, calls, tokens and constraints are tied to recorded evidence. Synthetic correctness, controller acceptance and structural verification are separate. No invented historical dates, external registration, peer review, independent replication or human authorship claim is made.
Removed a duplicated overlap paragraph, replaced a speculative training-contamination claim with a limited statement about algorithm familiarity, and added measured cost/acceptance interpretation. References support the cited concepts rather than implied performance validation. Natural prose is an editorial choice; AI participation remains disclosed.
Final numeric reconciliation, independent counter arithmetic, 49 admitted tests, complete trace replay and page-by-page raster review have passed. PDF: 14 pages. Desktop and mobile offline HTML render without page overflow or broken images. The local artifact remains AI-assisted and requires independent human scientific review before submission.
