gbanyan f1c253768a Paper A v3.18.3: address codex GPT-5.5 round-17 self-comparing review findings ...

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.
