Aere Network dd1410c266 The unpublished line of work joins the sanitized public line
The published line and the local line of this repository had no common
ancestor: the public one carried the hygiene pass (no host names, no internal
paths), the local one carried a month of corrections that never shipped. This
commit ports the local work onto the public line, keeping the public hygiene
wording wherever the two touched the same sentence, and keeping the public
version of AERE-CROSS-CLIENT-DETERMINISM.md entirely.

Carried: LICENSE/LICENSING corrections, VERIFY-POLICY.md,
CITATIONS-UNRESOLVED.md remeasured 2026-08-11, the 'audited' adjective removed
from next to Bouncy Castle, citation paths rewritten to published form, AIP-8,
the QA consolidation report, the second EIP validation pass, fork-height
corrections, the AereSink / threshold-factory correction, the forge test
floor, and the architecture-map updates.

# Licensing
Default for this repository: **MIT**, `Copyright (c) 2026 AERE Network`. See `LICENSE`.
This repository is documentation. No file in it carries an `SPDX-License-Identifier` header, so the
default covers everything, with one recorded exception.
## Improvement proposals — CC0
Two documents end with:
> Released to the public domain (CC0). No rights reserved.
| File |
| --- |
| `AERE-AIP-PROCESS-AND-INDEX.md` |
| `AIP-PQ-TX-2026-07-18.md` |
That dedication stands. It follows the convention Ethereum uses for EIPs. CC0 is a wider grant than
MIT, so it takes nothing away from a reader of `LICENSE`; it is recorded here so that a reader who
sees only `LICENSE` knows these two documents are freer than the rest.
