Research: published P104 channel leaves every endpoint frame unrestored (no new kappa)

[VictorLiwentao]

Change and scope

Bounded audit of the published P104 word under priority revision 6, card p104-side-correction. The #3259 fixed-cover support cut already has a registered verifier in research/p104-pooled-cut-independent (C[71,102] = -1/2, cones 1,725 and 37). This package takes the live chronology and frame-restoration obligation instead.

On the pinned #2981 208-flag matching and the #1991 4,058-event channel witness:

• every target register is first touched at or before event 410
• every source register is first touched at or after event 488
• no event names both an X register and a Y register
• zero of 104 source frames and zero of 104 target frames return to their initial frames
• the basis head meets the target final on 4 of 208 flags

That agrees with the overlapping fields of #3242. The new census is the full endpoint restoration count. No new kappa. Selected κ stays 0.001672660197076918.

Coefficient delivery and logical dirty restoration remain open. Frame inequality is not a priced repair.

Default verify is read-only. Admission uses need() and still fires under -O.

Overlap and credit

Closest prior: #3242 (research/p104-flag-channel-schedule) for first-touch order and the X0/Y34 example. This package does not reopen the #3259 cut or the merged readout-alphabet series through #2883.
