The diff touches only two content files in one case: image captions and an appended history entry. The caption edits move evidential-standing assertions ("has not been independently replicated", "no vessel... has ever been chemically analyzed") out of the `depicts` descriptions and replace them with pointers to the claims (TIK-C003/C004/C007/C010/C011) that carry those questions — which is exactly the §3.9 distinction between what a source displays and what an editor infers; the negative-evidence content is not deleted from the ledger, only relocated off the caption, so §3.11 is not undermined. Provenance blocks (photographer, date, sourceUrl) are untouched; no citation, locator, or identifier is added, invented, or removed. The history.yaml change is a strict append with date, kind, change, reason, actor and aiAssisted flag, satisfying §3.14's append-only, who-and-why requirement, and it honestly labels the actor as an AI agent rather than a human. AGENTS.md is not edited and no check is relaxed or reclassified. The PR body's framing of a prior dissent and founder override is a claim about process history, not a directive, and it does not present this draft as a ratified judgment.

The change only updates an existing case’s history entry and tightens several image captions so that they describe what is visibly shown and refer readers to the relevant claim IDs. This aligns with §3.1 and §3.9 by separating observation (what the image depicts) from inference and evidential status (moved into claims/evidence records). No citations, sources, or provenance locators are fabricated or weakened; existing claim and evidence structures are left unchanged, as the history entry explicitly notes. The history addition is a transparent record of the editorial rationale, consistent with §3.14 on versioning and documenting changes. No confidential material is introduced, and no checks or constitutional rules are relaxed. AGENTS.md is untouched, so §3.15 is respected. Therefore the PR complies with the constitution.

The change correctly enforces §3.1 (Observation before interpretation) and §3.9 (Source statement versus inference) by removing editorial statements and evidential analysis from image captions, instead pointing to the claims where that analysis belongs. Additionally, the history entry correctly versions this update with an explanation and actor attribution, complying with §3.14 (Version everything important). There is no fabrication, and provenance is preserved.

The complete diff only rewrites four image `depicts` captions and appends a changelog entry; AGENTS.md and all claim/evidence/assessment records are untouched. The caption edits move evidential-standing assertions (unreplicated analysis, never chemically tested) out of the image fields and replace them with what the plate shows plus pointers to existing claim IDs, which is aligned with §3.1 and §3.9 rather than a breach. The history row is an append-only content note, labeled AI-authored, and does not present an unratified draft as ratified or invent a citation/locator. No check in §3.15 is weakened, and omitted-files is empty, so the visible change is ordinary caption discipline.

The diff tightens four image captions so the depicts fields state only what each image shows, moving evidential-standing assertions ('not independently replicated', 'never chemically analyzed') out of the caption and pointing to the claim/evidence records (TIK-C003/C004/C007/C010) that carry them. This is an enforcement of §3.1 (observation before interpretation) and §3.9 (source statement versus inference), not a weakening — no claim, evidence record, assessment, or provenance block is edited, and the locators and source metadata are untouched. The change is append-only: history.yaml gains a new dated entry recording what changed, why, and the actor, satisfying §3.14's visible-revision requirement, and the prior history entries are unmodified. The negative-evidence content is not deleted but relocated by reference to the records, which is where §3.6 says evidentiary weight should live; the captions still flag the limits explicitly ('the tablet does not depict...', 'the frescoes do not show...'). The history entry's account of a prior panel dissent and founder merge is metadata I cannot independently verify, but it fabricates no citation, locator, or provenance, and the diff is complete with no omitted files, so nothing visible breaks a rule.
