docs: errata pass on dav1dprometheus update from external review

External reviewer surfaced several errata in the 2026-05-09 draft.
Corrections applied in-place; original draft is preserved at
commit a2ff9d4.

  - sub-battery count: 21 -> 20 (5 axes x 5)
  - 5S vocabulary fix:
      Surface/Substrate/Synthesis/Semantics/Semiotics
      -> Syntax/Semantics/Syllogism/Synthesis/Semiotics
      (matches bench/batteries/b_5s.py)
  - 5R vocabulary fix:
      React/Recall/Reason/Refine/Restore (reviewer's guess; doc's
      original was even less correct)
      -> React/Rearrange/Restore/Replicate/Resonate
      (matches bench/batteries/b_5r.py per SQD section 9.3)
  - pi* kernel chronology: explicit "15 -> 16 with combinatorics@v1"
  - kernel-version immutability: stated as hard invariant (no
    in-place behavioral mutation; behavior change = new version)
  - cross-witness vs cross-carrier: distinguished. Witness channels
    are kernel/cache/LLM; carrier modalities are
    text/code/arithmetic/etc. The pattern generalizes from the
    former to the latter but the audit semantics are distinct.
  - STRICT-WITNESSED is a render label, not a new audit_mode.
    Persisted column stays CANONICAL_PROJECTION; witness audit
    event layers on top so cache_key semantics don't drift.
  - warrant-promotion ladder: SOURCE-ANCHORED tier introduced
    between ANCHOR-WARRANTED (assertion-only) and
    EVIDENCE-WARRANTED (chunk-proof). Today's surface-ingest
    work delivers SOURCE-ANCHORED; chunk-resolution layer is
    needed for EVIDENCE-WARRANTED.
  - license tags marked project-reported (manifest self-attest;
    not independently audited by counsel)
  - "no human labelers" scoped to canonical-shape divergence
    labels only; claim-pack validity + textbook warrant
    promotion still benefit from human curation
  - top-of-doc revision note records the errata pass
  - closing footer updated to reflect today's CI re-enable +
    shard-search fan-out (66s -> 15.5s on the 4-shard cluster)

## What we built
The arborist project — Python-only, content-addressed Merkle store
with a v9.8 audit chain — adopted your 21-sub-battery framework
in the first week of May 2026 and landed the full surface in eight
days. Concretely:

### The 21 sub-batteries are real, fixtures included

Five axes × five sub-batteries each = **20 sub-batteries**, each

5S — Surface / Substrate / Synthesis / Semantics / Semiotics
5 sub-batteries × 30 fixtures + 5 syntax/semantics × extra π* domains
5S — Syntax / Semantics / Syllogism / Synthesis / Semiotics
5 sub-batteries (Phase 1a: Syntax + Semantics; Phase 1b: the
other three) carrier-aware (text / claim_lattice / prose),
plus per-π*-domain expansions of Syntax + Semantics that
bring the family wider than 5 fixtures-per-sub-battery
5F — Function / Finetuning / Falsification / Formulate / Feedback Loop
5 sub-batteries × 50 synthetic + 50 live = 500 fixtures total
5 sub-batteries × ~50 synthetic + ~50 live each (Phase 1b.2
live wire-ups land on real arborist subsystems)
5T — Time / Truthtables / Transfer Learning / Triangulation /
Transitivity
5 sub-batteries × 30 fixtures
5R — React / Recall / Reason / Refine / Restore
5 sub-batteries × 30 fixtures
5 sub-batteries
5R — React / Rearrange / Restore / Replicate / Resonate
5 sub-batteries (workspace-operator shape, per SQD §9.3 —

(An earlier draft of this note miscounted the sub-batteries as 21
and mis-spelled 5S as Surface/Substrate/… and 5R as React/Recall/
Reason/Refine/Restore. The fixtures + runner in `bench/batteries/`
are the authority — corrected here. The 21-vs-20 confusion came
from ticket #000021's number bleeding into the count.)
Total deterministic-task surface: **662 tasks** in the default
runner, plus several hundred more in extension batteries (math π*
fixtures, real-shard baseline, witness-divergence collection,
claim-pack ingest verification).

Your original wording is honored — `Transfer Learning` (not the
SQD-whitepaper variant `transfer`), `Truthtables`, `Time` — pinned
as a memory entry so future agents respect the framing you chose.

### Cross-modality discipline
**Kernel-version immutability is a hard invariant.** A registered
`name@version` is behaviorally frozen — any change in canonicalization
output is a new version (`arithmetic@v2`), never an in-place patch.
Otherwise prior persisted canonical-cache rows would silently
become semantically unstable. The registry rejects re-registration
of the same key with a different implementation; the
governance_policy_hash also folds in the active kernel manifest
so flipping kernels invalidates prior records on lookup.
### Cross-witness vs. cross-carrier discipline
Two distinct axes, kept separate in the substrate vocabulary:
- **Witness channels**: kernel / cache / LLM. A canonical-shape
question can be answered by ≥1 of these and they're compared
byte-for-byte after canonicalization. Cross-**witness** agreement
is the warrant strengthener that today's pipeline measures.
- **Carrier modalities**: text / claim_lattice / code / arithmetic /
logic / time-series / tabular / symbolic-algebra / calculus /
linear-algebra / function-sampled / combinatorics. These are
the surface forms an input/output can take. Carrier-aware fixtures
pin the carrier so a verifier change doesn't drift across them.

its kernel via `pi_star_ref`. A `PHASE_1_CARRIERS` whitelist gates

(Earlier drafts of this note used "multi-modality" and "multi-
witness" interchangeably; they're not. Kernel/cache/LLM are
witnesses over the same canonical bytes; text/image/audio/world
will be carriers as π* grows. The pattern generalizes from one
to the other but the audit semantics are distinct.)

The promotion path has **two distinct steps**, and only the
second earns `EVIDENCE-WARRANTED`:
1. **SOURCE-ANCHORED** — the cited source exists in the substrate
as a Merkle-ingested surface. This is what surface ingest above
delivered today: when a claim-pack record cites *Hilbert,
Foundations of Geometry*, the substrate now contains an
ingested copy. The record is bound to a real source, not a
string field.
2. **EVIDENCE-WARRANTED** — the specific claim resolves to a
specific chunk/span in the ingested surface, with a Merkle
inclusion proof persisted as `derivations.proof_blob`. This is
the chunk-resolution layer above; not yet landed.
The four-rung ladder today is `POINTER-LINKED → ANCHOR-WARRANTED

SOURCE-ANCHORED tier sits between ANCHOR-WARRANTED (assertion-

distinction worth surfacing once the chunk-resolution layer
lands; today's claim-pack records sit at ANCHOR-WARRANTED with
their cited sources newly available as ingested surfaces.
