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 layer, risk-distribution-asymmetry pricing, state-capture multi-layer-attack-timeline, multi-chain CSAM N=6+ empirical catalog, BankerBot specific AccelerationRiskQuote candidate. 3-phase decomposition: Phase 1 bridge-recognition (this PR); Phase 2 cross-references in pre-existing substrate; Phase 3 F# Veridicality.fs extension composing pricing-dimensions. 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: - PoUW-CC 5-factor gate (Verify · Useful · CultureFit · Provenance · Retractability) per pre-existing DeepSeek substrate - Veridicality-detector (semantic-canonicalization + LSH + HNSW + PQ + provenance-aware-discounting) per pre-existing PR #282/#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 all today's B-0908-B-0912 substrate + pre-existing Aurora-immune-system substrate cluster + Veridicality.fs F# code + Maji informal substrate + B-0895 Clifford grade-decomposition. 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.
