feat(B-0912 + rule): bridge attention-risk-pricing arc with pre-existing Aurora-immune + Veridicality + PoUW-CC + Maji substrate + useful-output-is-evidence-not-authority rule

[AceHack]

Summary

Per operator 2026-05-28 "Option A (shadow)"* + substrate-honest pointing at substantial pre-existing substrate I missed in my earlier narrow grep.

This PR is the substrate-engineering CORRECTION per .claude/rules/verify-existing-substrate-before-authoring.md: COMPOSE-WITH rather than DUPLICATE the pre-existing substrate.

2 substrate files landed

1. B-0912 bridge row

Bridge today's B-0908-B-0911 attention-risk-pricing arc WITH pre-existing substrate. Pre-existing substrate cataloged with file-paths; NOT duplicated. The substrate-engineering value IS surfacing the connection.

Today's arc adds (not in pre-existing): attention-denominated continuous-pricing + risk-distribution-asymmetry-pricing + state-capture multi-layer-attack-timeline + multi-chain CSAM N=6+ empirical catalog + BankerBot specific AccelerationRiskQuote.

2. .claude/rules/useful-output-is-evidence-not-authority.md (NEW)

Auto-loaded rule operationalizing the unified defense pattern as cold-boot-loadable substrate-engineering principle.

Carved sentence: "Useful output is evidence, not authority. Multi-oracle trust-gradient absorbs utility into the trust-substrate before it can become root power."

Attack pattern unified across substrate-domains:

• BankerBot 2026-05-11 (translation-laundering)
• Qubic/Monero 2025 (useful-work-laundering)
• Future utility-laundering variants

Defense layers:

• PoUW-CC 5-factor gate (per pre-existing DeepSeek substrate)
• Veridicality-detector (per pre-existing PR research: provenance-aware claim-veracity detector — engineering-facing design (8th-ferry candidate #3) #282/research: Aminata 4th pass on bullshit-detector design (3 CRITICAL + 4 IMPORTANT + 3 WATCH) #284)
• Multi-oracle L0-L4 trust-gradient absorption (per Amara 3rd ferry 2026-05-28)
• 6-step decision-tree for substrate-engineering decisions

Cites pre-existing substrate as authoritative foundation; rule IS the cold-boot-loadable interface to the substrate.

Composes with

• PR #5719 — B-0910 + B-0911 (multi-chain CSAM + risk-distribution-asymmetry + state-capture pricing)
• PR #5716 — B-0909 BankerBot empirical anchor
• PR #5715 — B-0908 attention-risk-pricing framework
• PR #5712 — B-0895 Clifford grade-decomposition (pre-existing Z-set Clifford immune-system IS Clifford-shaped)
• Pre-existing Aurora immune-system substrate cluster (Amara 9-11 ferries + DeepSeek ILife capstone)
• F# src/Core/Veridicality.fs working implementation
• B-0703 multi-oracle BFT — composes with the multi-oracle trust-gradient
• B-0664 NCI HC-8 floor — utility-laundering-into-authority WITHOUT consent IS coercion at substrate-engineering scope
• .claude/rules/verify-existing-substrate-before-authoring.md — DIRECTLY applied: this PR IS the substrate-engineering correction to my earlier narrow-grep + would-have-duplicated-pre-existing-substrate work

Substrate-honest framing

Substantive pre-existing substrate already operates the defense. This PR's substrate-engineering value IS the bridge + the cold-boot-loadable rule, not new defense substrate.

Per verify-existing-substrate-before-authoring.md: operator's pointing at the prior-art was the substrate-engineering correction; this PR respects the discipline by composing-with rather than duplicating-or-supplanting.

Test plan

• B-0912 bridge row filed with pre-existing-substrate catalog
• .claude/rules/useful-output-is-evidence-not-authority.md rule landed
• Pre-existing substrate cited as authoritative; not duplicated
• BACKLOG.md regenerated
• Pre-emptive MD032 scan clean (bold-then-list + text-then-list both checked)
• Commit canary OK (parent=61, commit=61)
• Sentinel armed (06b1e7d0)
