paper-v2.3

paper-v2.3 — wording-consistency patch of paper-v2.2

One wording fix only. paper-v2.3 does not change any experiment,
raw trial, frozen analysis, numerical result, or pre-registered rule. The
canonical raw data and every frozen scientific output in this release are
byte-identical to paper-v2.0, paper-v2.1, and paper-v2.2.

What changed

Phase 6/7 cross-phase reproducibility-check caption. In the
"Cross-phase reproducibility check" paragraph of Section 5.3, the
sentence

"Different times, different provider snapshots, not pooled, no
statistical test."

is replaced by

"Different execution windows; provider snapshot identity was not
pinned. The runs are not pooled and no cross-phase statistical test is
performed."

Provider snapshot identifiers were never pinned, so literal snapshot
difference between the Phase 6 and Phase 7 runs cannot be asserted. The
Phase 6/7 numbers, the descriptive C − P comparison, and its
interpretation are unchanged. This mirrors the Phase 8 two-round wording
already corrected in paper-v2.2.

paper/arxiv/audit_phase9_numbers.py now fails the build if either
different provider snapshots or different runs at different provider snapshots appears in main_v2.md / main_v2.tex.

Anonymous TMLR review derivative (not part of this public release)

The anonymous supplementary builder
(paper/tmlr/build_supplementary_zip.py) additionally reword-sanitizes
three legacy occurrences of the same phrasing that live in
provenance-tracked Phase 7E history —
reports/phase_7e_analysis/analysis_report.md,
app/reporting/phase_7e_neutral.py, app/cli/phase_7e_neutral.py — in
the anonymous review copy only. Those canonical repository files are
unchanged; the transformation is documentation / report / docstring
string text only and does not affect any output, score, numerical
constant, model id, scenario record, raw trace, experiment
configuration, or analytical behaviour. ANON_README.md in the package
now records this.
