mrwulf 60f291bdf0 paper v0.8: readability pass — reader aids + two graphic bugs, zero semantic change ...

Operator-ordered UX audit (full linear read + every page rendered and
visually inspected + both reviewers' 'visually clear' certifications
spot-checked). Scope: no theorem, proof, or scope sentence changed in
meaning.

BUGS FIXED (both missed by both round-12/13/14 reviewers):
- Deployment figure: leaf 11 was CLIPPED to 'clea' by the overlapping
  1.3cm 'accumulator' box — box now standard width, label 'accum.'
  Verified fixed by render.
- The sentence 'Leaf 12 attests the accumulator corpus at commit' was
  split from its hash by a float/page break, stranding the bare commit
  after the figure — now wrapped in samepage. Verified by render.
- 'signing- library' hyphenation artifact in §6.3.

READER AIDS (for adjacent-field experts; verifiability up, rigor
untouched):
- Notation summary table (12 rows) at the end of §4, right before the
  security analysis that uses every symbol.
- NEW transport figure (now Fig. 2): the 6->8 instance with the opening
  path (red), frontier values A,B (blue), consumed proof value (dashed),
  kept siblings (orange), and the r0/P0 assembly inset — §5.4's five
  pages previously had zero figures. Hand-verified by render;
  referenced from the transport-algorithm paragraph.
- 'Games at a glance' table (game/adversary/secrets/wins-by/consequence)
  after the §5.4 intro.
- One-sentence reading guide at the top of §5.4.
- 2->3 tie-in after the transport proof (the log's own transition as the
  smallest growth case; seam subsection gains a label).
- 'assumption cone' defined at first use (§2.1).

DE-SEDIMENTATION (three review rounds of accreted hedges, reorganized
with all semantic content kept):
- §5.4 intro: one 14-line wall -> four short paragraphs (context /
  two levels / non-interactivity), duplicated hardness sentence merged.
- HIST game: definition crisp, commentary moved to a parenthetical.
- Abstract: ~15% tighter (inventory numbers -> '61 human-reviewed
  certificates over a single uninterpreted SHA-256 axiom'; run-on
  split). All boundary/honesty sentences retained.
22 pages, 0 overfull, suite 115 green. Deployment figure renumbered
2->3 (no numeric figure cross-references existed).
