The steward placed the amendment. Recording the verification promised, and the
instrument limit it exposed.
Bounded-diff proof: 9 insertions, 0 deletions. Constraint 6's original text
byte-identical at 222 chars. Zero pre-amendment lines missing. Purely additive,
as designed -- the caution is refined, not relaxed.
Both jurist conditions verified present verbatim in the placed text: the Q2 weld
(fail to coincide, not cancel; never cited as assurance something was caught) and
the Q3 self-limiting clause (jurist and executor share formation; neither the
doctrine nor its evidence establishes that pair as a check in the strong sense).
6/6 contained, 5/5 controls absent, instrument verified.
List integrity confirmed with pandoc rather than by reasoning about it: the
doctrine parses INSIDE list item 6 despite the double blank line. No structural
problem.
The verification took three attempts, and the first two failures were mine. Both
controls I built for the Q3 negation were substrings of the sentence that does
the negating -- "establishes that the pair constitutes a check" appears verbatim
inside "Neither this doctrine nor any evidence ... establishes that the pair
constitutes a check". They leaked by construction. The instrument was right to
refuse certification twice; the controls were malformed.
That is a real limit and it is now documented in the script: substring containment
has no notion of polarity and CANNOT verify a negation. Controls must be built by
inversion, never by extraction. Where polarity is what matters the instrument does
not settle it -- read the sentence, and report that containment did not cover it.
Which is the case here: that the Q3 clause denies rather than affirms was
established by reading, not by the check.
