Record what this cycle actually verified, and what it did not - #40

Conversation
The cycle's theme was that a claim in prose drifts from reality because nothing owns it. It then left the repository's own evidence ledger describing the previous version of the code, which is the same defect wearing the same clothes. compatibility.md described chunk handling as though nothing had changed, and the README's verification table never mentioned chunked results at all -- so the headline change of the cycle appeared in neither place a reader checks before trusting it. Three things are now recorded rather than assumed. Chunked assembly exists and has never run against a real workspace. The specific unknown is named: the chunk link resolves to /api/2.0/sql/statements, which is not a Genie path, and no documentation says whether the caller's identity carries there. If it does not, the client returns the first chunk flagged as truncated -- the behaviour that preceded the change -- so nothing regresses and the improvement simply does not arrive. The service-principal recipe is documented from Databricks' published flow and has not been executed by this project. It is a set of instructions, not a tested path, and the ledger now says so where someone deciding whether to rely on it will read it. The 2026-08-05 local verification is recorded, including the one check that distinguishes a package from a build: a consumer compiled against the nupkg reads MaxResultRows, so the new public member is provably in the artifact a user installs.

Found while answering the question "so it's all tested and perfect?" — it was not, and this is the
part that was wrong.
The problem
This cycle's theme was that a claim in prose drifts from reality because nothing owns it. It then
left the repository's own evidence ledger describing the previous version of the code.

Same defect class the cycle claimed to close, wearing the same clothes.
What is now recorded rather than assumed
Chunked assembly exists and has never run live. The specific unknown is named rather than
gestured at: the chunk link resolves to
/api/2.0/sql/statements/…, which is not a Genie path, andno documentation states whether the caller's identity carries there. If it does not, the client
returns the first chunk flagged as truncated — the behaviour that preceded the change. Nothing
regresses; the improvement simply does not arrive.
The service-principal recipe is documented, not executed. It follows Databricks' published M2M
flow and this project has never run it. That is a set of instructions, not a tested path, and the
ledger now says so where someone deciding whether to rely on it will read it.
The 2026-08-05 local verification, including the one check that distinguishes a package from a
build: a consumer compiled against
LakeSpeak.Genie.0.1.0.nupkgreadsMaxResultRowswith itsdocumented default, so the new public member is provably in the artifact a user installs.
Verification
Documentation only; no source changes. The docs-contract test passes at 43 cases and all relative
markdown links resolve.
This PR adds no new parseable invocations — the two
lakespeakmentions it introduces areprose inside table rows, not fenced commands. An earlier draft of this description claimed the case
count rose because of this PR; it did not. The rise from 42 to 43 came from the
pack runexampleadded in #38, which was already merged when the count was measured.
