The Decoder's audit of their own corpus found four refuted claims standing -- including one they had corrected to me, agreed with, and written a METHOD entry about, without landing it for a full iteration. A hand audit finds what is there on the day it runs; it does not stop the next one. check-claims is a register: every occurrence of a refuted claim must carry an explicit [refuted] sentinel within 400 characters. It found four more unmarked occurrences than my manual pass had, including one in authored/audio.json. The marker is a sentinel rather than a keyword because the first version's every failure was a quotation inside a correction whose wording lacked the keyword. The temptation was to widen the window until they passed -- tuning a threshold until the answer comes out right, in the tool built to catch that. 21 quotations marked by hand; proved it fails by removing one. Also fixes the Decoder's other finding in my corpus: BLOCKED's voice row had a struck heading with three sentences below still asserting in the present tense.

Authored decisions
Everything here is a decision we made, not something the disc said. It is
hand-written, committed, and survives a re-export — unlike export/, which is
regenerated wholesale and must never be hand-edited.
Every entry carries a why. When the RE agent decodes the real answer, delete
the entry and let the exporter emit it; that deletion is the measure of
progress.
See docs/FORMAT.md for the schemas and docs/BLOCKED.md for which HANDOFF
question each placeholder is standing in for.
