paper v4.1: pre-submission fixes from second-Fable final check

- Acknowledgments now disclose BOTH assistants: GPT (OpenAI) provided an
  adversarial review that shaped the manuscript (it did not develop
  corpora/tooling - the acknowledgment stays literally true). The .tex
  header already credited Review B publicly; the ack now matches.
- ...signed_tree_head.v1 elision replaced with the real type string
  pacta.transparency.signed_tree_head.v1 (matches the live head).
- G2: the public-mirror escape hatch marked witness-dependent (SS9
  cross-ref) - closes the loop for a hostile reader.

18 pages, 106 tests green, accumulator untouched.
