Theorem dependency and correction alerts

The 7 October history records a sign error that invalidated one manuscript and two dependent papers. Other corrections changed hypotheses and companion citations. The release preserves prior versions, enabling a concrete…

Formal theorem coverage auditor

Several scope documents distinguish a paper's claim from the selected formal statement. Family 131 excludes the exact sampler; family 149's formal scope concerns an older boundedness result; family 276 excludes arbitrary…

Fixed-margin data sandbox and sampling-law audit

Family 115 claims exact uniform sampling of unbounded nonnegative integer tables with arbitrary equal-total margins in expected polynomial bit complexity, and bounded-time approximate sampling. A separate paper claims an FPRAS…

Long-document edit comparison: source backend deferred

The literal approximation branch requires ell at least 2^1000 and falls back to exact distance below its guard. Established exact libraries already provide distance, threshold queries and alignments.

Defer direct backend; exact incumbent baseline established; low commercial confidence
