Manuscript revision and pending experiment work, snapshot before restructuring

Clarity pass over the main text (36-item audit), Discussion rewrite and cut,
acknowledgements, Souly et al. as ref 62, lettered SI panels, model section
moved under Results; plus the untracked curriculum/society/compose/smol
configs, runners, figures, stats and tests that the SI already cites.

+# Decorrelated curriculum (manuscript review, 2026-09-11). In the Latin square partner complementarity
+# falls monotonically with generation (1.0, 1.0, 0.8, 0.67, 0.33, 0.0), so the veto's acceptance curve
+# is collinear with adapter age. Here every lineage starts with the same non-destroyer family (mnli),
+# then diverges maximally, then converges: complementarity 0.00, 0.67, 0.70, 0.58, 0.33, 0.00 by
+# generation. Same six families, same G, destroyers (boolq, winogrande) spread across lineages as
+# in the Latin square. Arms: the declinable merge (`society` + `allow_veto`) and its never-merge
+# reference under the same curriculum. Pre-registered readout: tasks/prereg-llm-society-v4.md §8g.
