hardening: Lemma W fully proved (G'<0), epsilon* consistent, 12 final fixes

Critical math fix — Lemma W now provably correct:
- Old claim 'G(u)=λ(u)|W₁(u)| maximized at u=1' replaced with explicit
  G'(u)<0 proof:
    d(log G)/du = d(log λ)/du + d(log|W₁|)/du
                ≤ (2-6πe^{2u}) + 2 = 4-6πe^{2u} ≤ 4-6π < 0 for all u≥0
  Step 1: d(log λ)/du ≤ 2-6πe^{2u} (C(u)=O(e^{2u}), ε* decays doubly-exp)
  Step 2: d(log|W₁|)/du ≤ 2 (since d|W₁|/du ≤ 8πe^{2u} and |W₁|≥4πe^{2u})
  Step 3: sum ≤ 4-6π < 0.
  Therefore G(u) ≤ G(1) = λ(1)·|W₁(1)| ≈ 1.82×10⁻²⁵ for all u ≥ 1. PROVED.

ε* notation now consistent throughout:
- Theorem 5 proof: |W_tail| ≤ C·ε*(u) with clean inline definition
- C=204 audit: C*=|ΔQ|/(ε*·|Q_φ₁|)|_{u=1} ≈ 102 ≤ 204 (conservative)
- Theorem 6: all ε(u)→ε*(u), 204·10^{-1637}→204·10^{-1636}
- Tail ratios: updated to ε* values (≈2× old values)
- Proof-Critical Deps table: ε(3)<10^{-1637}→ε*(3)<10^{-1636}

Formatting fixes:
- Abstract: CvS paragraph removed, falsification detail trimmed to 1 sentence
- Abstract: min_margin 93.1→91.3
- Appendix C: '(log K)'' leq 0' raw text → proper LaTeX '(\log K)''\le 0'
- Appendix B: header 'full 64 hex' → 'prefix (16 chars); full in docs/...'
- Appendix D: C-17 and C-18 added as explicit enumerate items
- Section 11: 'attacks failed'→'no inconsistency detected' (concise)
- Typo: uncontroversal→uncontroversial
- Stale SHA256 (7D65253C→1BB9E9DE) in Theorem 5

+For all $u \geq 1$,
+\[
+|W_{\mathrm{tail}}(u)| \leq \lambda(1)\cdot|W_1(u)| \leq 1.82\times 10^{-25},
+\]
+where $\lambda(u) := |\Delta Q(u)|/|Q_{\varphi_1}(u)|$ is the perturbation ratio.
+The bound follows from: (1)~$\lambda(u)$ is strictly decreasing for $u\geq 1$ (since
+$d\log\lambda/du \leq 2 - 6\pi e^{2u} < 0$); (2)~$\lambda(u)\cdot|W_1(u)|$ is maximised
+at $u=1$ with value $1.95\times 10^{-27}\times 93.15 \approx 1.82\times 10^{-25}$.

+For all $u \geq 1$,
+\[
+|W_{\mathrm{tail}}(u)| \leq G(u) := \lambda(u)\cdot|W_1(u)| \leq G(1) = 1.82\times 10^{-25},
+\]
+where $\lambda(u) := |\Delta Q(u)|/|Q_{\varphi_1}(u)|$.
+\end{lemma}
+\begin{proof}
+We prove $G'(u) < 0$ for all $u \geq 0$, so $G$ is strictly decreasing and $G(u)\leq G(1)$ for $u\geq 1$.
+
+$\frac{d}{du}\log G = \frac{d}{du}\log\lambda + \frac{d}{du}\log|W_1|.$
+
+\emph{Step 1.} From~\cite[Theorem~4.1]{TailBound}: $\frac{d}{du}\log\lambda \leq 2 - 6\pi e^{2u}$
+(the dominant $n=2$ term of $\varepsilon^*$ decays as $e^{-6\pi e^{2u}}$, while $C(u) = O(e^{2u})$).
+
+\emph{Step 2.} $\frac{d}{du}\log|W_1| \leq 2$.
+Indeed, $|W_1(u)| = 24\pi e^{2u}/h^2 + 4\pi e^{2u} \geq 4\pi e^{2u}$, and
+$\frac{d}{du}|W_1| = \frac{48\pi e^{2u}(-2\pi e^{2u}-3)}{h^3} + 8\pi e^{2u} \leq 8\pi e^{2u}$
+(first term is negative). Hence $\frac{d}{du}\log|W_1| \leq 8\pi e^{2u}/(4\pi e^{2u}) = 2$.
+
+\emph{Step 3.} $\frac{d}{du}\log G \leq (2 - 6\pi e^{2u}) + 2 = 4 - 6\pi e^{2u} \leq 4 - 6\pi < 0$
+for all $u \geq 0$ (since $6\pi > 4$).
+
+Therefore $G(u) \leq G(1) = \lambda(1)\cdot|W_1(1)| = 1.95\times 10^{-27}\times 93.15 \approx 1.82\times 10^{-25}$.
