Paper A v3.18.3: address codex GPT-5.5 round-17 self-comparing review findings

Browse Source 
Codex round-17 (paper/codex_review_gpt55_v3_18_2.md) re-audited v3.18.2 and
flagged three new issues introduced by the v3.18.2 edits themselves plus
items it had partially RESOLVED but not fully cleaned up. Verdict still
Minor Revision; this commit closes the new findings.

- Fix Appendix B provenance paths: replace four fabricated paths
  (formal_statistical/*, deloitte_distribution/*, pdf_level/*, ablation/*)
  with the actual artifact paths verified in the local report tree.
- Acknowledge that the report tree is at /Volumes/NV2/PDF-Processing/...
  and reviewers should rebase to their own report root rather than rely on
  absolute paths.
- Remove residual "single dominant mechanism" wording from Methodology
  III-H (third primary evidence sentence) and Discussion V-C.
- Fix Methodology III-H Hartigan dip-test parenthetical: "p = 0.17 at
  n >= 10 signatures" wrongly attached the accountant-level filter to the
  signature-level dip; corrected to "p = 0.17, N = 60,448 Firm A
  signatures".
- Soften Introduction Firm A motivation: replace "widely recognized
  within the audit profession as making substantial use of non-hand-signing
  for the majority of its certifying partners" with a methodology-first
  framing that defers to the image evidence reported in the paper.
- Soften Methodology III-H "widely held within the audit profession"
  wording (kept as motivation, marked clearly as non-load-bearing in the
  next sentence).
- Reconcile 55,921 vs 55,922 Firm A cosine-only counts in Section IV-H.2:
  document explicitly that the one-record drift comes from successive DB
  snapshots used to materialize Table IX vs the new script-28 artifact;
  no rate at two decimal places is affected.
- Rebuild Paper_A_IEEE_Access_Draft_v3.docx.

# Appendix B. Table-to-Script Provenance
For reproducibility, the following table maps each numerical table in Section IV to the analysis script that produces its underlying values and to the JSON / Markdown report file emitted by that script. Scripts referenced are under `signature_analysis/` and reports under the project's `reports/` tree.
For reproducibility, the following table maps each numerical table in Section IV to the analysis script that produces its underlying values and to the report file emitted by that script. Scripts are under `signature_analysis/`. Report artifact paths below are listed relative to the project's analysis report root, which is `/Volumes/NV2/PDF-Processing/signature-analysis/` in our local deployment; replicators should rebase the paths to whatever report root they configure when invoking the scripts.

The table-to-script mapping above is intended as a navigation aid for replicators. All scripts run deterministically under the fixed random seeds documented in the supplementary materials; report files are committed alongside the scripts so that each numerical claim in Section IV traces to a specific JSON field rather than to an undocumented intermediate computation.

All scripts run deterministically under the fixed random seeds documented in the supplementary materials; the artifact paths above were verified against the local deployment at the time of submission, and any reviewer reproduction step should re-emit the artifacts from the listed scripts rather than depend on the absolute path layout.
