docs(assessment): independent verification of the Tier-S arc assessment
Re-checks every load-bearing claim of an external architectural assessment
(18 observations + a five-pillar blueprint) against the tree, by reading the
implicated code and, where possible, executing it.

Headline: Workbench records a proved deduction answer as ungrounded. With
deduction_serving_enabled ratified ON, chat/runtime.py stamps
TurnEvent.grounding_source="deduction", and workbench/api.py's
_coerce_grounding_source whitelist silently rewrites it to "none". Verified by
running workbench.api._run_chat_turn, not by reading. Scope is one field:
epistemic_state still reads epistemic_state_needed (honest) because
workbench/api.py:818 prefers the TurnEvent's own value. The unregistered path
degrades honestly; the hand-copied whitelist asserts a falsehood.

Falsified items, with evidence:
- parents[n] audit — run: 168 sites, 0 outside the repo root.
- realizer-guard exemption — documented at both guard sites.
- T12 — present in the weekly-audit stragglers TODO.
- assert_corpus_sound — already domain-parameterized and called unconditionally.
- promotion oracle — already the wrong=0 lane gate, per tier-s-housekeeping §3.
- accrue_realized_knowledge — a session-memory deployment profile, not a debt clock.
- cross-subject proof — resolve_domain fails closed on ambiguity.

Also corrects the blueprint's flagship item: EntailmentTrace carries BDD node
keys, not derivation steps, so multi-step articulation is engine work
(proof-term extraction), not a rendering-layer gap. And records that the
"second subject arena" premise is falsified by the curriculum-volume
measurement — 11 bands across 4 subjects already route, all 24x-73x short.

Companion Apple Silicon/MLX blueprint assessed: both premises contradicted by
the repo's own benchmark report (no MLX in any runtime path; Rust backend
opt-in and off). One of five items adopted (typestate), one rejected on
numerics (bf16 against a 1e-6 gate).

[Verification]: docs-only change; no code paths touched. Findings themselves
were executed against a scratch venv — the repo pins ==3.12.13, which uv
cannot fetch for linux-x86_64, so the pin was left untouched.
