S1 (a1): feature-promise audit — no claim survives unverified

PROMISE-AUDIT.md: every /pricing claim → verified/built/reworded.
BUILT (was vapor): alt line ladder + edge ranking (same-features regrade
at shifted lines, Desk-gated at the API), quarter-Kelly (engine quantile
P(win) x real captured odds — either missing → no sizing), free-tier
kill-condition locked previews. FIXED (was false): analyst 15/day cap vs
the Founder 'Unlimited reads' promise → analyst unlimited; every '40+
factors' claim (real count: 22 named features) reworded truthfully in 7
files. VERIFIED: cascade alerts (real, wired), phi correlation,
leg history, cross-book comparison, WC soccer, real-time feed.
Locked by tests/unit/promiseAudit.test.js. Jest now ignores
.claude/worktrees (parallel agents' suites no longer leak into runs).
