P14-PROVENANCE: Evidence-State-Preserving Publication Registry Profile — v2.0 Methodological Note

Documentation-only v2.0 methodological note in the existing P14-PROVENANCE version family. This newly written English PDF derives a bounded, loss-aware chain from an evidence object and manifest closure to claim wording, with explicit intermediate steps, a stale-receipt example, and a missing-negative-record example. The local synthetic P14 checks support only their declared fixtures; they do not establish scientific truth, independent reproduction, FAIR certification, legal ownership, or general provenance guarantees. No historical code, archive, or third-party figure is included. Earlier versions remain separately citable: v0.2.0 https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23023504 and v0.1.0 source archive https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.22181551.
