mrwulf 62d12dc3fa ch13: send the reader to the live log — the cross-referencing that did not exist
Measured before writing: the book made ZERO references to the transparency
log, the live site, leaves, receipts, verify.py, or anything post-quantum —
two incidental uses of the word "accumulator" were the entire overlap with
the estate's flagship artifact. A book that teaches "who checks the checker"
never mentioned that a live log practicing every one of its principles is
publicly checkable.

New closing section of ch13, "Go and touch the real thing": what a leaf is in
the chapter's own vocabulary; the fifteen-minute exercise (clone the mirror,
verify.py --all, pin both trust anchors two independent ways, read leaf 18 in
full); the map from the log's nineteen leaves onto the book's chapters
(leaves 13-16 = the pyramid at 44 certificates with ch11's boundary-exact
apex cones in production; leaf 17 = ch13 made literal, the log carrying
proofs of its own Merkle machinery; leaf 18 = the first post-quantum subject,
FIPS 205 verify path); and the two boundaries a reader must hold — verify
proven / signing never, for both algorithms, and the frozen paper as an
honestly-aged snapshot contained byte-identical inside today's history.

Root cause of the staleness, named: the book has no button. Every other doc
surface in the estate is gated or audited; the book froze as a July-6
deliverable plus one chapter. Until it grows a gate, estate doc audits are
its only clock (last: 2026-08-08).

README: ch13 entry expanded accordingly. PDF still awaits a LaTeX host.
