The change is confined to protocols/edition-v11.md (new), the archiving rename of edition-v10.md, and a four-line append to docs/DECISIONS.md; AGENTS.md is untouched, so §3.15's reservation is not implicated. No content/ records or citations are added — the verification tool found no identifiers — so there is no fabrication surface here. The substantive rule strengthens rather than weakens epistemic checks: it requires local, exact attribution wherever a proposition is the founding page's own statement (§3.9), forbids narrating the seed as a judging actor since judgments belong to the assessment, and requires saying plainly where a case rests on one self-published page. The softening from "never/once" to a preference is a voice matter explicitly governed by §7 (judgment calls settled by competing drafts) and does not touch any mechanical or ratification check in §3.15 — the v10 evidence-id check and the anchor-only, provisional, and lifecycle rules are carried forward intact. The DECISIONS entry stamps the direction with date and channel ("founder (direction in session, 2026-09-19)"), which §3.15 expressly permits for founder directions to the operator. No unratified draft is presented as ratified and no confidential material is introduced.

The v11 protocol preserves source-versus-inference separation by requiring local attribution whenever a proposition comes from the founding page and by marking edition inferences as the edition’s own. It treats source-centred narration as a candidate-comparison preference rather than an absolute prohibition, consistent with §7’s requirement that voice decisions be settled through competing drafts. The change neither edits AGENTS.md nor weakens citation, provenance, provisional-record, or ratification checks; the founder direction is recorded with date and session channel in the decisions log.

The update to edition protocol v11 and the decisions log clarifies editorial attribution standards under §3.9 without violating §7's requirement that voice and narrative considerations be settled through competing candidate drafts rather than binding prohibitions. It properly distinguishes source statement from model inference and ensures founding inputs functioning as sources are attributed locally and accurately rather than treated as active narrators. No constitutional files (AGENTS.md) are modified, no checks are weakened, and no fabrications or confidences are compromised.

The diff touches only protocols/edition-v11.md, archives v10, and appends a decisions-log entry; it does not edit AGENTS.md, so §3.15's constitution rule is not implicated. The v11 rule does not weaken any §3.15 check — the loader's mechanical checks are untouched and v10's evidence-citation rule is retained verbatim in the new protocol; the change softens only editorial prose guidance (how the article attributes founding inputs), which §7 explicitly reserves to 'the competition of candidate drafts, not by binding rules.' The new rule in fact reinforces §3.9 by requiring local, exact attribution of the founding page as a source and honest disclosure that the case rests on a single self-published source. The founder direction is recorded in docs/DECISIONS.md with date and channel, as §3.15 permits for operating-record directions. Citation verification found no identifiers in the added content, and nothing in the visible diff fabricates a citation, locator, or provenance detail.
