revision round 1: address both external reviews (GPT-5.6 + second Claude)

No theorem was wrong; every fix is spec-surface, audit-mechanism, docs,
or harness coverage. Changes:

LEAN (Claude F1, GPT M4):
- acceptIncl: the consumer's inclusion accept (m<n ∧ Root=some r) is now
  a named object, not just a theorem hypothesis. Root alone accepts
  out-of-range m; acceptIncl pins the guard.
- acceptIncl_complete / acceptIncl_sound: route Thm 1/2 through it.
- extractCons_correct_paper: Thm 3 at the paper's exact quantifiers
  (n₀≤n₁, no separate 0<n₀; n₀=0 discharged since D₀=[]=take 0).

SCRIPT (GPT H1/H2, Claude F3):
- Phase 3b: fail-closed audit-surface COVERAGE — every named decl under
  Proofs/ and gen/ must be in CONES or a documented EXCLUDE (sha256,
  Bytes); anonymous gen instances count-pinned; every CONES key must be
  queried by AxiomCheck (no pin-but-never-check). Tested: an
  unclassified theorem now makes the button exit 1.
- H2: distinct markers — LEAN GREEN always, ATTESTATION GREEN only when
  fidelity actually ran; SKIP/absent-pacta no longer emit the strong
  marker. Attestation gate keys on ATTESTATION GREEN.
- Phase 0: orphan-olean guard (every Proofs/*.olean needs a sibling
  .lean); deleted 6 orphans; untracked all *.olean/.lake from git and
  gitignored them (root cause of the F3 tarball leak).

HARNESS (Claude F1, GPT M3):
- added out-of-range families (m≥n, m>n, n₀>n₁, n₀=0); re-pinned counts
  230,271 / 230,016 (match the reviewer's independent RFC difftest
  exactly); narrowed 'exhaustive' wording to the tested domain.

DOCS: README stale rows fixed (freeze banner no longer contradicts
table); KNOWN-GAPS gap 3 reworded (general Lemma 2 = specializations),
+gaps 9 (cost), 10 (pin init), 11 (acceptIncl resolved); STATEMENT-MAP
+acceptIncl rows, +Lemma-2-general note, +constant-vs-property
clarification for §10(i).

Button: EXIT 0, coverage complete, ATTESTATION GREEN, 230,271/230,016.
56 pinned cones over an ENFORCED surface. LTL untouched (12, bcd15f9d).
