v1.4.1 — the mischief release

The verifier survived its own red-team.

Mischief audit — protocol-level 5/5

The verification protocol was red-teamed with five classed, seeded defects behind a sealed answer key: clean-grepping stub, wired-but-wrong, phantom commit, orphaned artifact, missing artifact. The blind verifier + runtime step caught all five (4/5 at the static ladder alone — wired-but-wrong is designed to need runtime evidence, and the protocol is the unit under test). It also flagged the fabricated "verified live" claims unprompted. Receipts: .potion/phases/09-mischief/.

Verify hardening

• verified_at is now derived mechanically (date -Iseconds), never hand-typed
• New permanent ratchet: every SKILL.md stays under the ~150-line bar (check-skill-line-bar)

Docs

• README caught up to the 1.x story: new "Knowledge that compounds" section (journal → promotion → pages → lint), brewed-itself claims moved to v1.4.0, mischief receipts cited. Repo About updated to match.
