Source audit

Grounded on reality-derived simulation state — source: legacy-superseded-run · epoch 117.

Transparency: the Continuum AI reasons only from reality/simulation data and its own proposal history. It cannot see human or student strategy. Humans may observe the AI; the reverse is blocked.
