EXPANDED ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT — SCIENTIFIC REVIEW

Verdict: ship within the scientific and editorial scope reviewed.

The expanded scientific audit compared the new edition with the complete original
paper, not only with the short companion. All 19 original section inputs remain
(now 24); all 60 figure-directory files, 21 data files and 1 architecture-source file
are byte-identical. All 21 old graphics references, 52 old section labels and 27 old
table/data inputs remain. No duplicate section labels were found.

New source identifiers N01–N07 do not overwrite E01–E08. The audit checked the
434-query adaptation, fixed-teacher probe means/intervals, detection AP/counts,
and 120-query timing against JSON. Router equations and fallback behavior were
checked against implementation, including fresh one-box neural-only routing.

Target absence is described as the historical 28 October status. Later corrected
local scoring is separate from archived model disagreement and official scores.
Final wording distinguishes F0's passed numerical development gate from failed
router/refit gates and unverified native accuracy conservation.

Typography retains XCharter/newtxmath, A4, one column, margins, original cover
identity and existing figure palette. Changes stabilize font sizing, increase
small-type legibility, give the abstract a quiet pale-blue background, and remove
avoidable page breaks in the expanded index/introduction. Original data and
artwork are unchanged.
