Defame1297 9b6f2b1583 docs(audit): freeze the simplification audit and strike what was never true
The document has been re-measured four times and each pass moved figures
the next pass had to chase -- three of the last five commits on this branch
were figure corrections to it, and correcting it changes the line counts it
reports about itself. It is now a dated record frozen at 1ec3e8a. Figures
stand as measured at the commit each one names and are not maintained.

Freezing covers staleness. It does not cover a figure that never
reproduced or a claim that says verified for a check that fails, so those
are struck:

- Finding 11's provenance-validator counts, 320/1,145/572/134 = 2,171, were
  true at no commit. The files are 324/1,152/576/134 = 2,186 and have been
  since 620f20b created them. The derived 5,380 and 7,136 follow.
- Finding 11's line citations into lib-provenance-skill.sh, stated as
  re-derived at HEAD, were uniformly seven low and none landed on the code
  named.
- The tests/ line total pinned to 1614bce is that commit's suite count with
  384756b's line count.
- Finding 33's "all five instruction-level citations still resolve at HEAD,
  verified with sed -n", dated 2026-09-19, is false. Four resolve.
  improve.md:82 stopped carrying the content at baa2f5d, three days before
  the verification was claimed.

Also reconciled: finding 11's 242-file effort total against its own struck
46, finding 16's two different deltas for ef27c97, a clause pinned to
baa2f5d carrying c07ca07's figures, and the preload-tax row's 39 skills
against the census row's 38.

Notes that date themselves "at HEAD" name no fixed commit, and this commit
moves HEAD under them, so the banner now says so rather than re-deriving
twenty of them.

This review round is recorded on the pull request, not here. A frozen
document that grows another section is not frozen.
