+# ─── Coq proof archaeology — legacy preservation admit (2026-06-24 triage) ─────
+#
+# formal/Semantics.v carries the LEGACY `preservation` Theorem (declared :8556),
+# closed with a DELIBERATE `Admitted.` (:9258). The theorem is provably FALSE —
+# formal/Counterexample.v discharges its falsity with 5 Qed lemmas — so the admit
+# is owner-mandated (CLAUDE.md 2026-05-27 fence + in-file ARCHAEOLOGY/DO-NOT-EXTEND
+# banner). It must never be "fixed"; the principled work is the four-layer redesign
+# in formal/PRESERVATION-DESIGN.md (preservation re-derived per layer). File-scoped:
+# the whole file is fenced legacy archaeology where any admit re-detection is the
+# same accepted non-defect. (Semantics_L1.v / Counterexample_L2_nested.v admits are
+# handled by in-file `hypatia: allow` directives, not here.)

+# ─── Stale duplicate linter (lib/linter.rs) ────────────────────────────────────
+#
+# lib/linter.rs (178 lines) is a stale/legacy sibling of the live
+# src/ephapax-tools/src/linter.rs (920 lines). Its two `line.find(..).unwrap_or(0)+1`
+# sites compute 1-based diagnostic columns; 0 is a benign "column 1" default, not a
+# masked fault. Exempted pending an owner decision on whether to remove the duplicate.

+# project (the live type checker is Rust). Adding licence headers is an SPDX edit,
+# which estate policy reserves for the owner (no-automated-licence-edits). Flag-only:
