The diff touches protocols, pipeline code, tests and the decisions log; it adds no content records and the verification tool found no citation identifiers, so there is nothing to fabricate here. The substantive change makes splitting stricter, not looser: each split part must now carry its own verbatim quote, and verify only adopts that anchor when `unverifiedQuotes` confirms the quote appears verbatim in the fetched text — otherwise it falls back to the compound's anchor and writes an explicit note into the run account (tested at the 'off-text quote falling back with the note' case). The part's stamped origin says '; anchored by the splitter in the same text' only when the quote actually matched, and the extractedBy/runId/date stamps are preserved, so provenance is attributed honestly (§3.8, §3.14). Removing the #385 'held provisional' path is a tightening rather than a check-weakening: a compound claim is now either replaced by anchored atomic parts or refused outright with tombstones that name no nonexistent record, which is closer to §3.2's categorical rule, and the history/summary lines are updated consistently so nothing is silently dropped. AGENTS.md is untouched; the DECISIONS.md entry is stamped with date and channel per the founder-direction rule and follows the format of the adjacent entries. No confidence material, no draft presented as ratified.

The change removes the provisional retention of compound claims and instead admits only atomic parts that are separately judged, or tombstones the unsupported compound while recording the refusal. Split parts receive a quote and locator, the quote must be found in the retrieved text before replacing the original anchor, and the reader still checks locator and statement support; fallback to the compound anchor is explicitly recorded rather than silently presented as part-specific provenance. Splitter authorship and run metadata remain in each part's origin, while dispositions and case history preserve the replacement or refusal rather than erasing it. No content citations, confidential material, AGENTS.md edits, unratified judgments, or weakening of the multi-model publication gate are introduced.

The change addresses review note #386 by updating the splitting mechanism (split-v4) to extract verbatim text quotes and nearest locators for each individual proposition of a compound claim. It removes the provisional holding of unsplit compound claims, properly refusing claims that cannot be broken down and anchored to verifiable parts in accordance with §3.2. Verification rigorously checks that the part's quote exists verbatim in the retrieved source text before adopting that anchor, falling back transparently with full run-note provenance. Code, protocol documentation, and test updates are coherent and adhere strictly to the constitution.

The diff strengthens §3.2 rather than weakening it: compound claims are no longer held as provisional graph nodes; they are replaced by parts each carrying a verbatim quote and nearest locator (split-v4), or refused with nothing in place when no part can be anchored and read. Verify judges each part on its own anchor when the quote is present verbatim, stamps origin accordingly, and falls back to the compound anchor only with an explicit account note—honest provenance, no invented locators. AGENTS.md is untouched; DECISIONS.md records the founder-supervised withdrawal of the #385 hold; tests cover refusal, own-anchor admission, and off-text fallback. No content citations, confidence material, or check-loosening appear in the complete diff.

This is a pipeline/protocol change (split-v4) with no content citations added, no AGENTS.md edit (the DECISIONS.md entry is the permitted decisions log, dated and attributed), and no confidential material. It tightens §3.2 rather than weakening a check: the #385 'hold' path that let a compound claim persist (even weightless) is withdrawn, and a compound claim is now either replaced by anchored atomic parts or refused outright — the opposite of dodging the atomicity rule. §3.8 is respected in the new anchoring mechanism: a part's own quote is admitted only when verified verbatim against the fetched text ('unverifiedQuotes' gate), the locator is inherited from the compound when the splitter supplies none, and when the quote is not found verbatim the part falls back to the compound's anchor with the fallback explicitly written into the run account, so no locator or quote is invented silently. The provenance trail is honest — the part's origin records 'anchored by the splitter in the same text' only when anchoring actually occurred, and the tombstone/refusal path names only records that exist. The one residual softness is that a splitter-supplied locator is not independently re-verified against the text, but it rides on a verbatim-verified quote and the protocol forbids composing quotes or inventing locators; that is ordinary imperfection within the checks, not a loosening of them. The tests cover the refusal, the anchored part, and the disclosed fallback, and the change answers review note #386 on the record.
