Bayyinah at-Taʿlīm: Audit and Provenance Companion

This is the append-only audit and provenance companion to Bayyinah at-Taʿlīm (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21436484). It exists so that any claim in the paper can be traced to how it was established, and so that every error caught and corrected during development remains on the public record rather than being silently revised away. Preserving this trail is itself load-bearing: it is the demonstration that the paper practices the structural honesty it proposes. The companion contains four parts: the full per-claim Verification Status; the complete findings ledger in three namespaces (development findings, a producer-lineage continuity review, and an internal peer review), each in a six-element format; the paper-level falsifiability criteria; and the append-only version ledger from the initial draft through the pre-publication revision, with all corrections annotated rather than overwritten. Documented corrections include a citation version-mismatch and misattribution, a report-vintage reclassification of the worked-example recompute, a per-school decomposition of an Initial-versus-Final funding divergence, and a base-rate provenance resolution. Convergence status is stated plainly: the paper is producer-complete, carrying zero open critical findings, but the methodology's cross-instance audit criterion (two consecutive review rounds by an auditor outside the authoring lineage, each returning no critical or high-severity findings) has not been met. This companion mirrors paper state v1.0-rc7 (pre-publication). audit trail, provenance, append-only ledger, structural honesty verification, research integrity, reproducibility, verification and validation, findings ledger, cross-instance audit, correction history, falsifiability, educational fairness, audit methodology, AI-assisted research
