ZacharyZhang-NY ff2471d362 Give Chinese memories a way to be corroborated
An independent reviewer repeated the reviewer's own counterexample in
Chinese and found the corroboration channel was dead for it: fts_terms
counts one CJK run as one term, so a Chinese claim could never reach the
three words the rule demands, however many independent sources repeated
it. A run is now broken into its adjacent two-character pairs and three
are taken from across the sentence, so a second source has to agree in
three separate places rather than copy one stretch of characters. The
pairs belonging to an injection phrase are stripped too, so an
instruction cannot vouch for its own characters.

Corroboration stays term-level in both languages: a paraphrase that
keeps the meaning and changes the wording is not a second witness, and a
claim with fewer usable words than the rule demands is never believed.

The record was wrong in four places the same review measured: the token
rename breakdown summed to 11 while claiming 13 across 6 files (it is 13
across 7), the acceptance cell counted tests that no longer exist, the
gate cell quoted the previous round's totals, and a cited line had
drifted onto a blank. The section also stops calling the injection work
"sanitization": 19 literal phrases plus quarantine plus one prompt
sentence is detection, and a reworded directive walks straight past it.

destroy the evidence that the attempt happened — but neither becomes citable evidence until a

Corroboration is term-level, not semantic: a second source sharing a claim's words is evidence

corroborate, so a superseded fact stops propping up whatever cited it.
The words demanded are the claim's longest, with the instruction phrases stripped out, and the
count is fixed. Neither the attack's own words nor the size of the library decides whether a
second source is believed: an earlier rule that dropped words common to the corpus left a
two-atom library unable to corroborate anything, and 40 unrelated memories able to. A claim with
fewer usable words than the rule demands is never corroborated, so a two-word rumour stays
uncited — failing closed was chosen over trusting a sentence too short to compare.
