      "changes": [
        "Attributed the papal/dicastery denial of AI experience rather than adopting it as ARC fact; preserved §99’s broad wording and marked contemporary-scope interpretation as an interpretation.",
        "Replaced corpus-wide silence, consensus, institutional-motive and official-openness conclusions with bounded findings and live alternative interpretations.",
        "Removed uncalibrated High/Medium/Low confidence columns while retaining every table and data row; replaced future-agency probabilities with source-specific states.",
        "Compared canon 864’s Latin homo with the English person; retained Francis’s Martian-baptism homily and Consolmagno’s extraterrestrial discussion as material counterevidence to a universal lexical exclusion, without inferring an AI sacramental rule.",
        "Corrected distinctions between doctrinal, advisory, episcopal, academic, pastoral and institutional-reporting authority, including canon 753 and the non-equivalence of authority to empirical proof.",
        "Removed the future coverage date and unauthenticated search-process claims; dated this edition’s checks separately from unknown research completion.",
        "Removed the unsupported unnamed self-published project as evidence; did not assign source identity to its lost marker or dismiss an unidentified argument on prestige grounds.",
        "Pinned 33 directly linked sources at disclosed reading depths; marked 56 original marker associations as contextual replacements, one unrecovered marker and one unavailable research-brief attachment.",
        "Retained all major sections, stress tests, theological arguments, eleven tables and annotated source positions; revised claims in place rather than condensing the report.",
        "Scoped current availability, institutional practice, document chronology and scholarly-book verification to inspected records; no independent implementation, exhaustive theology, canon-law opinion or current-model consciousness finding.",
        "Kept the exact supplied original private; public lineage uses only its digest, source-unit ordinals and editorial dispositions. No rejected original passages are republished."
