- 2026-07-01: User correctly objected that the `c=0.5`, MFQ-2, Social-Norms-selectivity, and hard coherence thresholds were arbitrary. Replaced the active verifier with an MFV-only evidence report: Authority direction over all paired c values, plus MFV `pmass`, `mean_margin`, `margin/base`, `frac_unscorable`, and `mean_nll_prefill`. Under this corrected view, `pca` and `linear_act` have signed MFV Authority direction across the evaluated path; `sspace` is only locally signed; `mean_diff` and `directional_ablation` are direction failures.
