paper v0.3: absorb the five queued author items GPT's compression dropped

The reinvention outline and the standing paper queue carried five items
that the round-11 draft lost: (1) retrievability decay (leaves whose
pinned commits cease to be distributed decay to historical record —
author Q&A 2026-07-10, outline explicitly kept it); (2) the
extractor-vs-bare-existential sentence (over a fixed-width hash 'a
collision exists' is vacuous by counting; the corpus's named extractors
+ pinned non-vacuity guards are the content — the S3.5 lesson);
(3) the one-implementation crate parenthetical (first-page misread
signal); (4) issued-at spacing corroboration of the ~30-minute replay
figure; (5) the SHA-1-vs-SHA-256 binding honesty clause. 16 pages,
0 overfull.

``Merkle trees are secure'' statement. ``Merkle trees are secure'' statement. The explicitness is load-bearing: over a
fixed-width hash a bare ``some collision exists'' is vacuously true by
counting, so each soundness statement is about a named extractor function, and
the corpus pins a machine-checked non-vacuity guard for every extractor.
