gbanyan 4a6f9c5c98 Apply Phase 5 round-3 splice-blocker fixes from codex round-8
Closes the three concrete splice blockers codex round-8 surfaced
in the post-round-2 drafts, plus the binary-collapse terminology
residue. No empirical changes.

- Abstract trimmed 261 -> 247 words (3 under IEEE Access <=250
  target). Cut "technically trivial and visually invisible,"
  (S1 motivational redundancy) and the within-firm-rate
  parenthetical "(Firm A 98.8%; Firms B/C/D 76.7-83.7%)" plus
  "between" connector; preserved the corrected 77-99% any-pair
  headline so the M3 substance survives.

- §IV-J Table XV sample-size footnote (line 177) corrected:
  round-2 misclassified §IV-M.5 as descriptor-complete n=150,442;
  Script 44 / Tables XXIV-XXV actually use vector-complete
  n=150,453, same as §IV-M.2 Table XXI (Script 40b) and §IV-M.3
  Table XXII (Script 43). New footnote distinguishes
  descriptor-complete (§IV-D through §IV-J) from
  vector/pair-recomputed (§IV-M.2/M.3/M.5; Scripts 40b/43/44).

- §IV-I (line 161) stale cross-reference: "§IV-M Table XVI" was
  the K=3 firm cross-tab (descriptive), not the v4-new ICCR
  calibration. Replaced with "§IV-M Tables XXI-XXVI" — the full
  ICCR calibration block. Pre-existing error exposed by the
  round-2 cascade.

- §III line 131 + §IV Table XI line 104 binary-collapse label:
  "replicated vs not-replicated" -> "replication-dominated vs
  less-replication-dominated" for consistency with the K=3
  descriptor-position framing. "Replicated class" preserved
  where it refers to byte-identical positive-anchor ground
  truth (§III-K.4, §IV-H lines 143/153/155).
