feat: systematic verification of April 18-19 research reports

Report verification against experiment JSON data reveals 17 high-confidence errors
across 4 of 5 reports. Key findings:

REJECTED (do not publish):
- Report 1 (egp-evidence-synthesis): 5 errors including p-value inflation 1000×
- Report 2 (expanded-cohort-validation): 5 errors including 2 fabricated cohorts
- Report 5 (controller-isf-signatures): 5 errors including all 12 patient IDs fabricated

NEEDS FIXES:
- Report 3 (sc-ceiling-demand-isf): 2 errors in fitted ceiling column (69% mismatch)

APPROVED:
- Report 4 (wall-resolution-mechanism): No errors found, pass for publication

+## Critical Errors by Report
+
+### Report 1: EGP Evidence Synthesis
+
+1. **P-value inflation** (Section 3.1): Claims p<10⁻¹⁹; actual ≈4×10⁻¹¹ (1000× overstatement)
+2. **Patient count** (Line 4): Claims 12; EXP-2656/2662 use 28 (2.3× error)
+3. **Selective reporting** (Section 3.6): Hides 3 of 9 patients with r≥0
+4. **Wrong counts** (3.3, 3.8, 3.9): Claims 12; actual 25, 28, 28 respectively
+
+---
+
+### Report 2: Expanded Cohort Validation
+
+1. **Fabricated DynISF cohort** (EXP-2651): Claims 12 patients; JSON shows 25 identical to Original
+2. **Fabricated DynISF cohort** (EXP-2652): Claims 10 patients; JSON shows 18
+3. **Fabricated EXP-2640 table**: Rows c, e, g marked insufficient but data invented
+4. **H1 understatement**: EXP-2662 Original 7% vs actual 11.2% (60% error)
+5. **H1 understatement**: EXP-2662 DynISF 9% vs actual 13.7% (52% error)
+
+---
+
+### Report 3: SC Ceiling Demand ISF
+
+1. **Fitted ceiling column**: 69% of values wrong; median 22.5% vs actual 13.9%
+2. **Range overstated**: 10-67% vs actual 10-55%
+
+**Fix**: Replace fitted ceiling column with correct JSON values
+
+---
+
+### Report 4: Wall Resolution Mechanism
+
+✅ **No errors found** — All tables verified, all arithmetic correct
+
+---
+
+### Report 5: Controller ISF Signatures
+
+1. **Fabricated patient IDs**: All 12 ns-* IDs don't exist (actual: a-k + odc-*)
+2. **Patient i contradiction**: Motivation mentions; table excludes without explanation
+3. **Hidden exclusions**: 5 of 17 patients excluded undisclosed (29% sample loss)
+4. **Artificial homogeneity**: Motivation promises multicontroller; results show 100% Trio/AB
+5. **Hypothesis inversions**: H1, H2, H3 all reported FAIL but actual PASS

+
+## Key Statistics
+
+- **Total reports**: 5
+- **Reports with errors**: 4 (80%)
+- **Total high-confidence errors**: 17
+- **Fabricated sections**: 3 (Reports 2, 5)
+- **Per-patient tables affected**: 2 (Reports 2, 5)
+- **Wrong patient counts**: 4 (Reports 1, 2, 3, 5)
+- **Hidden exclusions**: 2 (Reports 1, 5)
+- **P-value issues**: 1 (Report 1)
+
+---
+
+## Recommended Actions
+
+**TODAY (do not publish)**:
+- Flag Reports 1, 2, 5 as requiring retraction/rebuild
+- Hold Report 3 pending ceiling column replacement
+
+**TOMORROW (rebuild)**:
+- Report 1: Verify actual patient scope; remove inflated p-value claims
+- Report 2: Discard DynISF sections; rebuild EXP-2640 table from JSON
+- Report 5: Rebuild using actual patient IDs from JSON; include all 17 or document exclusion
+
+**READY (approve)**:
+- Report 4: Publish as-is
