mrwulf 7a6499c452 paper v0.14: the full-document eye pass completes the referee round
Operator order: every page of the PUBLISHED PDF inspected by eye, all
25. The flip surfaced two referee items the v0.13 batch had missed:
(1) the notation summary lacked rows for the consistency proof C and
the flag b (both load-bearing from Theorem 3 through Lemma 4) — added,
with Ext pointing at its defining subsection; the gate rejected the
first, too-wide row (130pt overfull) and the shortened one passed;
(2) the HIST chain length still shared the letter k with the Merkle
split point on facing pages — renamed to ell through the game,
Theorem 5, its proof, and Theorem 8's cost term. Gate green: v0.14,
25pp; pages 8 and 13 re-eyed; suite 156.

**`ltl.pdf` / `ltl.tex` — the current paper (v0.14, revised August 2026).**
The review process concluded in August 2026. v0.10 folded in the
corrections queued during the freeze (the closed consistency-verifier
divergence with its `sn = 0` root cause, replay-harness-integrity
limitation, claim-matrix row); v0.11 brought the paper up to the live
system: the nineteen-leaf dual-signed deployment, the SLH-DSA (FIPS 205)
verify-path instantiation, and its certificate appendix; v0.12 unified
entry numbering on 0-based leaf indices; v0.13 is the approachability
revision from an external-persona referee pass (house terms defined at
first use, theorem statements carry their own scoping, notation
collisions resolved, FIPS 205 reference added); v0.14 completes that pass after a
full-document eye inspection of the published PDF (notation-table rows
for C and b, HIST chain length renamed to avoid the split-point k). The
version submitted for review (July 17, 2026, sha256 `7f140356…`) is
preserved unchanged in this repository's git history. The live copy at
<https://ltl.zkdefi.org/paper> serves the current revision.
Superseded early drafts (v0.1, v0.2) were removed from the working tree
on 2026-08-15; like every prior state of this folder, they remain
retrievable from this repository's git history.
Revisions v0.3v0.9 were successive overwrites of `ltl.tex`; they live in
this repository's git history. v0.9 is the version that was submitted
for review; v0.10 and v0.11 supersede it.
