mrwulf f54e47778b site: the socratic round — every stale claim fixed, every printed command runs, first-use glosses ...

Operator-found (and root-caused): the v0.11 card replace had silently
no-opped on an invisible NBSP in 'vs.\xa0today' — the page said 23 pages
and still carried the July-snapshot card one paragraph under the 'New in
v0.11' sentence. Fixed by byte-anchored replace with post-assert; a
source regression test now forbids the stale markers outright and
check-paper.sh binds the page-count claim to pdfinfo.

Executability (tested by actually running them): the printed curl had no
scheme and returned empty through the redirect -> https form; the
zero-install one-liner was missing its cd -> added; 'Standard-library
Python only' contradicted the openssl requirement stated 20 lines
earlier -> made honest; 'table above' pointed at a table that is below
-> below; '~25 lines of Python' vs the 346-line fail-closed verify.py ->
'one-page core (paper Appendix C), shipped verify.py wraps it'.

Comprehensibility (fresh-eyes audit, 28 findings triaged): first-use
glosses for STH, axiom cones, certificates, pinning, split view,
pins.json, trusted base, residual-risk list, R0-R5, signature tiers;
Lean 4 linked; Merkle accumulator glossed; operator=provider declared;
the ✗-leaves explained as the failed round 1 vs clean re-attest; the
flagship self-reference gets a plain lead sentence; TOFU named and
bounded; pacta install source at the first pacta command; coined verb
'machine-re-check' uncoined; pitch parenthetical trimmed (SLH detail
lives in its own block).

Suite 153 green (new: webdocs stale-claim regression test).
