Accepted head: 45bdf875bfcf82a6358fcf61dddf8fd455bd1408.

• Independent review: ACCEPT at this head.
• CI at this head: 25 passed, 1 skipped, 0 failed.
• The owner approved the correction and a normal merge at this SHA in chat on 2026-11-04, subject to confirmed mergeability and a durable acceptance record.

This is the small follow-up to #1016 that the owner approved, kept separate from #1016's approved head.

One file, one sentence. Negative control 1 in verification/audits/manuscript/observer-relative-finiteness-20261030/DEPENDENCY-AUDIT.md:

• Before: "agrees on any pinned horizon n<q but diverges at 2q"
• After: "agrees through any pinned horizon n ≤ q and first differs at n = q+1"

Source: #1016, merged as b2e053f3, file verification/programmes/substratum/continuous-substates/BOUNDARY-CONTROLS.md. The infinite stream and the finite cyclic register have the same visible law for every n ≤ q. At n = q+1, b_{q+1}⊕b_q = b_1⊕b_0 holds in every realization of the register; in the infinite stream these are independent fair bits.

What the review checked:

• The new sentence matches the note's derivation. The reviewer confirmed it by hand and by their own exact enumeration for q = 1 to 8.
• The diff is that one sentence only.
• The file is not frozen: it is not in legacy-records.json, and no receipt or seal covers it.
• No other site in the corpus repeats the old n<q / 2q wording.
• The register is clean.
• One optional nit is not applied: also mentioning the full return at 2q.

Mergeability against current main f2feecc1: no conflict, and #1085 did not touch this file.
