docs(evidence): re-verify PR #42 + #43 serial-merge closeout on current main (2026-08-21)

[nish3451]

What

Re-verifies the review item "[unreviewed-by-opus] Merge PR #42 and #43 in serial order (or rebase the loser)" against current GitHub state (2026-08-21).

Both PRs are already closed and merged — there is no merge left to perform:

• PR fix(public): declare preferred source pages for AI answers (dogfood 4473a99a9bc9) #42 (fix/ai-answer-readiness-preferred-sources): merged 2026-08-09, squash 95d2248a (main ancestor: yes)
• PR evidence(ai-search): re-run controlled entity-and-offer questions after the llms/offer mirror went live #43 (fix/ai-search-rerun-entity-offer): merged 2026-08-12, merge ad9cee3 (main ancestor: yes)
• Serial order holds: git merge-base --is-ancestor 95d2248a ad9cee3 → true; the "rebase the loser" alternative was moot.

Verified against current main (92d55c3)

• public/llms.txt / public/offer.md carry the ## Answer Readiness: Preferred Source Pages section (q1–q8, including the later q8 extension from PR feat(public): add truthful search-intent bridge for 'conversion audit' searches #102).
• scripts/check-site.mjs carries the preferred-source guard; scripts/test-agent-ui.mjs carries the unit assertions.
• PR evidence(ai-search): re-run controlled entity-and-offer questions after the llms/offer mirror went live #43 receipts (2026-08-09-controlled-rerun.md, 2026-08-11-q5-ground-truth-alignment.md, evidence-fixtures/ai-search/*) are on main; PR evidence(ai-search): re-run controlled entity-and-offer questions after the llms/offer mirror went live #43 branch tip ed62202e is an ancestor of main with zero unmerged content.
• npm run check passes; agent-UI 16/16; heading-hierarchy 6/6.

Receipt: docs/evidence/pr42-pr43-serial-merge-rereverify-2026-08-21.md (supersedes nothing; the 2026-08-12 closeout and 2026-08-14/2026-08-17 re-verifications still hold). No production code changed.
